prussian_constitutionalism = {
liberal = yes
socialist = yes
conservative = yes
reactionary = yes
election = yes
duration = 48
appoint_ruling_party = yes
flagType = monarchy
}

flagType = (monarchy/republic/fascist/communist/other)

The other default flags are TAG_monarchy.tga, TAG_republic.tga, TAG_fascist.tga, TAG_communist.tga, but any can be added, as long as all countries have a TAG_other.tga file. Note that the flag choice here can be overridden by the country file in history/countries,
