understand the value here. However, I prefer to keep control over my country's decisions. If citizens are interested in having more influence, they should consider founding their own country. I believe maintaining direct control allows me to steer my country according to my vision and goals.

Democracy has been tried and failed, just recently France tried it again and reverted to Empire. If you don't like where you are a subject, simply conquer some other territory. Let's just reform monarchy.
