[Legend of Korra] When Prince Wu said he was going to abolish the Earth Kingdom Monarchy was he also going to abolish the Monarchy in Omashu or just the Monarchy in Ba Singh Se?

There's no reason there can't be subordinate monarchs within a democracy, replacing the Earth King/Emperor with a President or Prime Minister as a head of state while retaining local kings is technically possible. It has precedent in the German Empire and even in modern-day India and the Philippines, where there are ceremonial royal families who nominally represent small regions or provinces, but the country is led by an elected president.
