The Coup d'État and the Enlightened Despot
Now that a new leader is in charge, the endless backbiting between Caps and Hats will finally stop once and for all! It has taken months of careful cultivation, but we have built ourselves a large, loyal army of supporters — many of whom are heads of the actual army. Hopefully, with their hands carefully guiding the situation, we will ensure a bloodless coup.
The noble and divinely appointed ruler shall sweep in and gently, but authoritatively, seize full control, restore order, and firmly give the monarchy its proper weight again. For the sake of Country, it must be done. This is not autocracy — this is the truest form of patriotism!

1818historical_info = flavor_swe.37.historical_info Gustav III, upon succeeding to the Swedish throne, beheld a nation being sucked down into a maelstrom of chaos by the paralyzing bickering of the Hat and Cap parties. Something had to be done, and soon, or Sweden might share the same fate as poor, unfortunate Poland. So, rather than standing back and watching his nation being torn asunder by Scylla and Charybdis, the King took matters in his own hands and seized power through a bloodless coup d'état. Thus began the Gustavian period of Swedish history.
