It’s actually pretty well established in Marvel canon that the people of Latveria adore Victor von Doom. After six centuries of terribly oppressive rule by the Fortunov dynasty (the last monarch, King Vladimir was a Nazi ally and friends with Baron von Strucker), Doom’s usurping the throne was seen as liberating. Doom also implemented universal public education, universal healthcare, and licenses his patents for robotics and other technologies to other governments and shares the revenue.

Doom also ended the Fortunov’s policy of conscription for military service. The Latverian military is a purely volunteer force of about 2,000 people and 500 robots. (Assuming that Doctor Doom doesn’t just decide to handle any threat to Latveria solo).

Yeah, yeah, he’s an unelected absolute monarch who regularly gets into destructive brawls with super-powered foreigners and occasionally tries to destroy New York City… But that’s also true of Namor, Black Bolt, Thor, and the Black Panther.
