So I really don't need a political party advocating consitutional monarchism, as long as the republicans execute the royal family?

But Yuan was in very powerful positions, so if he's snuffed (out of his positions of power), couldn't he form a new revolutionary party?

Also, I wouldn't intend of Yuan being the Emperor for long-I could easily see an "unfortunate accident" happen and a new Emperor elected.

With a new Empire, would they pull a Meiji, quite literally? Obviously it would take a good amount of time for them to modernize, industrialize, and unite the country, but would they adopt the same sort of consitution, maybe with more limits on the Emperor's authority, yet not too much to seem overly liberal?

Also, would it be possible for them to take Mongolia and Tibet during either the First or Second World Wars, even in a sort of tributary or vassal-like nature?

How will they respond to Japan? Are good relations possible, particularily if Manchukuo doesn't exist? Would China agree to being in an economic and defense community with Japan until the Second World War? After that, would it be in China's best interest in joining the Allies, for the liberation of Japanese concessions and Korea?
