Yes, laws are player enforced.
As far as overthrowing governments such as monarchies and the like, it would be a difficult thing to do. Once an organization has taken a plunge like that, they would need to get the majority of the players in an organization to want to reverse it to vote as such in a ‘poll’. Of course, a monarchy would have had total control over the government up until this point, most likely squashing any possible rebellion before it happens. So unless the ruler or rulers themselves actually back the idea, or are total idiots, it would be fairly hard.
Thus far, the players have only made minimal changes to existing organizations. They have been moving some powers around, creating new ministries, nothing too major. Most likely they are nervous at this point to attempt any drastic changes that would put them at risk of losing position in the city.
I totally expect players to slowly add new powers here and there, slowly increasing the power of their positions until they evolve into some of the more extreme government types.
Personally, I find the potential for those that love to play politics incredible. For example, the player that wants total power could slowly work his way up in the ministries, gathering more and more power, manipulating the city members and leaders to add new or remove powers/rights from other players until they alone hold the city in an iron grip. Or perhaps there is the democracy minded player, carefully watching the scene for those who are seeking too much control for themselves. Maybe there is a religious order or guild seeking to place the city under their control, only allowing officials to be elected from their ranks.
