The Rules

Look if there was a way I could sovcit my way to a golden fringe slap fight I'd take it all the way to the top of the conspiracy (lose a slap fight against the president? That's a hell of a story). Something tells me it's more complicated.
I know this dude who lost a slap fight against a toad. He was lynched for treason and running round with other dudes wives and daughters. Imagine how far I could go if I lost a slap fight against a president.
You're not wrong but a monarchy isn't strictly speaking the same as facism so I guess it's technically plausible
