Faction Government

How can I change the faction government (for instance: United Netherlands from Republic to Constitutional Monarchy)?

Cheers.

Open up your startpos.esf with ESF editor.
Then follow my picture and edit in what you want:

Cheers.

Open startpos.esf, located in game dir\data\campaigns\main\ , with esf editor. Go to CAMPAIGN_STARTPOS\CAMPAIGN_ENV\CAMPAIGN_MODEL\WORLD\FACTION_ARRAY\Netherlands | FACTION_ARRAY\Netherlands | FACTION\Gov_Republic | GOVERNMENT and change the second line gov_republic with gov_constitutional_monarchy. After that go to CAMPAIGN_STARTPOS\CAMPAIGN_ENV\CAMPAIGN_MODEL\WORLD\FACTION_ARRAY\Britain | FACTION_ARRAY\Britain | FACTION\Gov_Constitutional_Monarchy | GOVERNMENT\GOV_IMP\GOV_IMP and copy GOV_IMP to CAMPAIGN_STARTPOS\CAMPAIGN_ENV\CAMPAIGN_MODEL\WORLD\FACTION_ARRAY\Netherlands | FACTION_ARRAY\Netherlands | FACTION\Gov_Republic | GOVERNMENT\GOV_IMP. Delete the original GOV_IMP from the Netherlands slot. Save. If you are experiencing problems, send me the file and I will do it in a minute.

Here it is. UN is a constitutional monarchy. Of course in the diplomacy Netherlands is still known as a republic. A whole lot of editing will be needed to change the diplomacy too.

Thanks for now. How much of a work is that? Can I do that myself?

It's just one minute work and yes, it's very simple.

The faction overview screen is still saying that UN is a republic. However, a royal family tree button appeared, but, the 'other claimant's' portrait and the president's are matching...

Is this because of the minimalistic way of modding?

Yes. You wanted UN to be a constitutional monarchy so my job is done. If you wanted the monarch to be the faction leader, then download this file. I added a few traits and removed a bad one. The age of the monarch is fixed and now we have Willem III. If you want I can change the flag to be the monarchy one.
