Better question is... How can you call yourself the Freedom Fighters while trying to restore an absolute monarchy? I mean Max had the power to disband a whole military, no strong, democratic parliment would ever allow this.
Cause the people looked happy in Blast to the Past. There was no problems with the way Max ran the country by the looks of it. If they want to restore it to the way it was then he was doing something right
But he was wrong. His policies failed hard, and his naive trust of a guy with glowing red eyes got thousands of men, women, and children enslaved inside roboticized bodies while still fully aware of their slavery (I will let you ponder the horrors of being trapped inside you own body, having no choice over your actions and being numb to most sensation). Sounds like it was more a hollow mirth than a true happiness in that kingdom (kinda like those creepy North Korea documentaries, they sure do act happy...a bit too hard). Maybe my American is showing...but I tend to look at situations like this with a skeptical mind. Too much smiles in a monarchial kingdom and this starts playing in the back of my head: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=qdB1SzfpngQ. And then I start looking for a plug.
Come on Ben! You're American, it's in your blood to despise thrones, kings, and crowns. Now let's got to Mobius's version of Boston and trash some trade ships. We don't need their stinking tea, we've got shotguns and Kentucky burbon! AMURICA!
In all seriousness though if the Freedom Fighters win I still think there isn't going to be a happyily-ever after to all this. There is the potential for a whole new story that can focus on a forever changed Mobius. The dynasty has been proven fallable and inept. If the issues haven't come up it starts now. Freedom is a word that rings heavy in the air, even Sally doesn't like to be called Princess. This is the perfect powder-keg on which to luanch a republic revolution. Much like India after their suffering in World-War Two and how they refused to kow-tow back to England after all they had done for the allies, I can see Mobians wanting a form of goverment that would not allow this to ever happen again.
