I would never fight for my country either way, I think the whole concept of countries is stupid.
I largely don't care if we are a republic or a monarchy. Conceptually a monarchy is a bad thing in my mind, but in reality they are powerless, and probably bring money into the country through tourism. I have no idea whether they are a net profit or loss for the country.
Conceptually a directly elected president, with either real powers or symbolic ones is a good thing IMO, but I'm not sure what the real benefits of it would be (regardless of the fact they would represent us more, as Clive says).
