Yes, exactly Like Hirohito's Japan, which before the rule of generals had a liberal (small L) representative modernizing western leaning govt and Hitler's Germany which even before the Weimar Republic had more rights for its citizens under the Kaiser than the British common man enjoyed in the British Empire.
