Suppose I am a King of a tiny island where I rule as an absolute monarchy. There is a small island which neighbours my country. That particular neighbour is a constitutional democracy.

There are rich families there that own the private sector of that nation. Could I collude with the government of that country to force those families to cede their companies to me just like Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia did to his enemies. He forced them to sign documents through the use of force and torture.

Are there any backlash to this?
