I'd say if that had ever been considered before nailing down the coup, the whole revolution never would have happened. But as far as I've been told turning Kusari into a republic was part of that mysterious old masterplan of Igiss and just got followed through with.
What could help here is fixing the storyline of a whole house the same way several faction writeups have been wiped and redone. Wipe the .86 history in the next mod update and add a more logical one. But I guess I'm being too radical here.

No, you are not being too radical. Not at all. It all makes more sense now, also in regards to the infocards and news items apparently being outdated (or "faction revised") making Kusari almost impossible to navigate in lore-wise and politically unless you are the one making up the "revised" lore or are a long-time and well-connected Kusari player.

Retconning is not all that bad if it's done with future prospects in mind. If only someone could be bothered doing the writeup for a new and coherent Kusari...
