Eh, I&#x27;m not so sure about that. We don&#x27;t really have many even nominal principalities these days, so it&#x27;s hard to imagine a state where both the people and the government are expected to serve the sovereign as a matter of course. But republicanism is more the outlier, historically, even if it enjoys a lot of contemporary success (whether in practice or in theory, is a matter of some debate, but nonetheless...).
