Well, Mr. DumplingIsNice I've already gotten around to watching both videos and I could say is though Ainz is in a monarch's position due to the form of government, the case is actually closer to a dictatorship.

With regards to the distribution of wealth and resources being stated in the videos as the prime vested interest motivating key supporters, the very nature of the vast majority of his subjects being generally selfless or without a general desire for anything outside the realms of the domain, it throws a very big wrench into applying the mechanic presented. I mean their loyalties are deeply ingrained in their programed game functions and any further development of ego circulates around their motivation for giving service to the guild as a whole.

As for the possibility of the betrayal of key supporters, it is something I personally see as an inevitability but may be played out differently by the author. But realisticly, the circumstances of an immortal ruler and generally long-lived or indefinately long lifespans amongst the subordinates would mean that their will be opportunities for a change in anyone's personality or the outlook one would have towards life.

If you also go to counting external powers as generally incapable of competing with Nazarick's forces, they are a pretty stereotypically powerful nation ruled by a benevolent lord. Many of the possible directions of a real state with these conditions would either be succesful world domination, internal implosion, or isolationism from the rest of the world.
