With regard to your idea, be reminded that Niall Ferguson already eight years ago stated that he was awakened by a friend's joke, "Make America Great Britain Again": he wrote a nice article about the monarchist model already apparent at the time.

I must warn you, though, that the drives remain undercurrents moving in history, and also Europe is living them: do note for example that the idea of "being tracked in all your monetary transactions """for some common good""" " is the translation of free people into "subjects". So: there are concepts about the population and the State that get instantiated in history by political forces and general powers.
