Krator: That's sort of what happened when Brazil became independent. The Portuguese kings spent the Napoleonic wars there while there was fighting in Portugal, which resulted in a "culture of governance" that hadnt existed in Brazil before. When the war was over parts of the royal family simply stayed as emperors of an independent Brazil.
95% of the Royal Portuguese Governance moved back to Portugal a while after the War ended, along with the rightful King at that time. >_>

The one who stayed behind was the heir of the throne. Who also returned in due time, but not before granting independence.
