Ironically enough, those European kingdoms became powerful liberal democracies. Poland and Lithuania barely existed in the 19th and 20th century. Also, don’t ask Poland now why the Oder River is toxic.

Ain’t no socialists in politics in the late medieval and early modern era unless you’re like talking about the Diggers/True-Levellers or peasant movements like Wat Tyler’s, and they all got shot to pieces. I have no idea what OP was thinking making half the courtiers authleft.
And as for the PoLith, they weren’t libertarians who believed in anything approaching equality under the law or the democratisation of power, but the precise opposite—they believed in noble privileges so fiercely they thought not even kings and not even the majority of their peers had the power to overrule the sacred rights of an aristocrat without his permission.
Much as with Magna Carta, later liberals could squint and see a forerunner of liberalism in that band of opposition to authority, but there’s really nothing liberal about “I have the right to rule those in my land however I choose and not God nor another prince nor even a king can stand in my way”.

XD Bein a King in Spain is suffering too. When there aren’t a bunch of nations actively triying to undermine you at every moment, you have to deal with a bunch of disasters in the internal situation of your kingdom and from time to time, both coordinate to just fuck you. Rulling in Spain is pain.

Being a king in Sweden:
[Skaddadle Skaddodle your stuff is mine. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Reduction?wprov=sfla1)
Isnt this a big part of the reason why was the commonwealth conquered by its neighbours?
