Sorry you can't promote into a king. Best you can do is a prime minister that slowly takes away the kings power of the course of a 100 moves until the king is purely ceremonial and gets removed if it makes any move. the prime minister is a slow moving piece that has to change direction every 4 moves and if it can move to protect another piece it must do so or be demoted back to a pawn the next move.

I think once you achieve constitutional monarchy it counts as democracy and means you only lose the game if all your pieces die.
