Switching to merchant republic from feudal

[TitanViper]

Is there any way to switch to MR from feudal? Without cheats of course.

1. Make your heir a tribal ruler with an equal or higher rank title than yours.
2. Die.
3. Make sure your capital is coastal.
4. Either have a large market city in your tribe or hold a city as your capital.
5. Convert to merchant republic.

Option 2:
1. Make a city the county capital of a county./
2. Give your heir that city.
3. Grant your heir any title above count, this will make him into a merchant republic if his capital is coastal.
4. Grant your heir a title that is the same rank as you, this will make him independent.
5. Die before your heir loses their realm to invasion.
