I was glancing through wikipedia and came across this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coups_d'état_and_coup_attempts

I wondered if the coups in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's could fail overall more than succeed (like most coups in the 1980's):
if all the coups would (mostly) fail, we could have an ATL with a Shah in Persia, an Emperor in Ethiopia, a King in Libya and Iraq among others.
