No, there weren't. The one king which ran off to Italy was somewhat moderately legitimate, and moderately popular, but not enough to survive having his key people assassinated, nor to gain meaningful foreign assistance (USA denied his plea to save his ass from communists.)

It were Britishers who started this mess 140 years ago, and they must be the ones to fix this.

The British have no capability to fix this.

The way to fix this is to return the country to city states. No central ruler.

Then the city states go fight each other. Or somebody assembles a large enough militia to loot one city after another. Or multiple city states band together and lord it over others.

* error above, it's been 180 years ago

And since then, the country effectively had 180 years of slowly going civil war without much interruption sans for the few decades under king
