Andy,
True. But the puppet empire was an attempt AFTER the republic had already been set up. They were trying to bring it back (with Puyi doing whatever the Japanese bosses told him to do).
The Manchurian peninsula is part of the land now known as China, at the time it was not.
You're right, it was a complicated mess.

"China hasn’t had a monarchy since the Communist Revolution of 1949". No. The revolution was in 1911, when the last emperor was overthrown and China became a republic. The 1949 communist revolution overthrew that republic government. (Except for Taiwan. Chairman Mao and his communist troops never made it there. The Taiwanese government is still based on the post-1911 republic.)
