Re-Evaluating Absolutism
Country is on the brink of collapse. The current Active Regent Title has as many detractors as supporters, with groups popping up to support rival claimants every day. There has been so much foreign interference in Country Adjective rule that we feel more like a puppet state than a great nation, and people of all classes openly resent carrying the crushing weight of absolute rule.
To maintain total control could prove to be a fatal blunder on the Active Regent Title's part. We must prepare for violent opposition to whichever choice we make.

1630historical_info = flavor_swe.33.historical_info The death of the childless Charles XII left his younger sister Ulrika Eleonora in charge as Queen. The staunch parliamentarian, Chancellor Arvid Horn, immediately seized this opportunity to bring down the absolutism and strengthen the powers of Parliament. While his democratic leanings were in a way commendable, his actions were to completely destabilize Sweden and make her a puppet of foreign interests for the next 50 years. This so-called 'Age of Freedom' also saw the aristocracy regain some of their lost ground. However, the young queen saw no clear alternative that would not upset her war-weary people too much.
