I don't remember what happened to Anax but Cymede mysteriously disappeared due to weird magic and no one knows if she's still alive. I believe their daughter is currently ruling Akros but she doesn't have full power since her mom might still be alive so they refuse to make her a full queen

Some will deccorate themselves with gold and silver lace to their hearts' content, admire themselves in ministerial mirrors, and study to give orders with an air of importance appropriate to their new position. How could they impress their comrades of the office or the workshop without having a red sash, an embroidered cap and magisterial gestures! Others will bury themselves in official papers, trying, with the best of wills, to make head or tail of them. They will indite laws and issue high-flown worded decrees that nobody will take the trouble to carry out -- because the revolution has come. "To give themselves an authority which they have not they will seek the sanction of old forms of government. They will take the names of 'Provisional Government,' 'Committee of Public Safety,' 'Mayor,' 'Governor of the Town Hall,' 'Commissioner of Public Safety,' and what not. elected or acclaimed, they will assemble in boards or in communal councils, where men of ten or twenty different schools will come together, representing -- not as many 'private chapels,' as it is often said, but as many different conceptions regarding the scope, the bearing and the goal of the revolution." - peter kropotkin, "the conquest of bread" pia nalaar is a class traitor and shall be discussed as such

    I dunno, Rakdos is owner of probably the largest media conglomerate on Ravnica (House Dimir might be bigger, but they've literally never filed taxes, so it's hard to know), so it would be an uphill battle to exceed his funding with a grassroots movement. He also has the massive recent PR boost of being part of the successful defense of Ravnica from the Eternal horde.

    Brandon Sandersob's Mistborn trilogy kinda forms a Republic, although they still get a better king at the same time? There is a lot of "but actually yes but actually no but actually yes" following that due to other plot events coinciding, but by the sequel series they are indeed a republic, albeit with monetarily powerful noble families so in the end it results in a republic.

    Which is the main issue with monarchies as seats of power. You can get that rare incorruptable individual in power and they carry the weight of the kingdom on their shoulders, but once they croak it all falls apart. If you have one of those people who cannot die, then theoretically a monarchy is the most robust government type out there. But that body is only as strong as the brain, and as we can see in our world, it is pretty hard to put a strong brain into that throne.

The only other series I can think that follows a similar formula is Magi, but that is a manga. But in that case, we just go from Balbadd Kingdom, to Balbadd Republic briefly, briefly a state consul, and back to Republic.
