Monarchy is a dinosaur by now if ever there was one. One possible scenario: a future economic meltdown which present government is held responsible for and can't handle, leading to a coup de'etat. It's highly likely a new leader, like Augustus, will try at first to disguise the abrupt change. mile:

Well, when I said monarchy/imperial, I was really leaning more towards Roman-imperial style government with extremely strong executive and/or judicial branches, with figurehead or puppet legislative assemblies. Not a monarchy ala Old England or France. I agree though, that the most likely cause of such an event would be economic meltdown, perhaps accompanied with or precipitated by some great war or biological catastrophe. Unpleasant things to think about, most definitely.
