Malkyer

The four men sat around the table, looking at one another. Two were frowning, one a blank expression, and the fourth wore a slight grin, as if he knew something the others didn't.
One of the frowning men stood up. His name, for the purposes of this meeting, was Karl. "It must be done, for the good of Malkyer."
One by one, the other three nodded. Karl continued. "Dayan has ruined our country. He is but a pale shadow to his grandfather, Elyas. Under Elyas, Malkyer was a quiet, and peaceful nation. The outside world did not bother us, and we did not bother it. But Elyas' son, Layman, began to open our land to outside upon his ascension to the throne. That in itself may not have been a bad thing, as it is undeniable that our nation has grown richer and stronger through contact with outlanders.
But Dayan has taken it too far! We are plagued by endless war, threats to our sovereignty, and now terrorism! Communists and fascists attack our ideals, and barbarians from every corner have almost reached our soil twice now. To be fair, we have met and forged friendships with honorable peoples. The Ottomans, Vizion, the McLeodian Empire. However, a few positives do not, and will not, cancel out the evils Dayan has brought to our country. This adulteration cannot go on."
The blank-faced man, Louis, posed a question. "What do you propose we do about this?"
"There is only one option, comrades. The House of Saarad cannot be allowed to continue its rule. It can be done, comrades, through armed revolution! Dayan has no heir. He is unmarried. Since the death of his sister Angela, God rest her soul, there is no other member of the Saarad family living."
The faces of the others blanched at the statement. John, the formerly smiling one, asked, "But the monarchy is popular. The people won't support a revolution."
"But, the people can be wooed by the proper words," replied Karl.
"Even if we succeed, another of the Royal Houses will simply take power for themselves."
"You're missing my point, John. All of you are. I am not saying we must remove one House in favor of another. I say, and for the good of the country I demand, that we eliminate all the royalty. They have lorded over us for too long, for no better reason than that they have a certain bloodline!"
As the meeting was progressed, more was decided. Support would need to be recruited, both inside and outside Malkyer. The RIA could not be allowed to find out. For the good of the country...
OOC: Being the good-guy stand-up-for-freedom-and-human-rights person is getting kind of boring and so, for a awhile at least, I'm going to RP a change of governments in Malkyer, to a hyper-nationalist socialist dictatorship. If you're a communist/fascist/generally evil nation who wants to help overthrow the Royal Government, then post here OOCly or TG me, and I'll RP the conspiracy making contact with you.
