Which Country Has A King

Written By Monday, June 13, 2022 Add Comment Edit

This is a list of current monarchies. As of 2022[update], there are 43 sovereign states in the globe with a monarch as head of land. There are xiii in Asia, 12 in Europe, 9 in America, 6 in Oceania, and 3 in Africa.

Types of monarchy [edit]

These are the approximate categories which present monarchies fall into:[ citation needed ]

  • Commonwealth realms. Queen Elizabeth Ii is the monarch of fifteen Democracy realms (Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of australia, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and the U.k. of Bang-up United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and Northern Ireland). They evolved out of the British Empire into fully independent states within the Commonwealth of Nations that retain the Queen as head of land, different other Commonwealth countries that are either dependencies, republics or have a different royal house. All xv realms are ramble monarchies and full democracies, where the Queen has limited powers or a largely ceremonial office.
  • Other European constitutional monarchies.
    • The Principality of Andorra; the Kingdom of Belgium; the Kingdom of Kingdom of denmark; the One thousand Duchy of Luxembourg; the Kingdom of the Netherlands; the Kingdom of Norway; the Kingdom of Spain; and the Kingdom of Sweden are fully democratic states in which the monarch has a limited or largely formalism role.
    • Andorra is unique among all existing monarchies, as it is a diarchy, with the Co-Princeship beingness shared past the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell. This arrangement creates a unique situation amidst monarchies, every bit
      • neither Co-Prince is of Andorran descent,
      • one is elected by mutual citizens of a foreign country (France), but not by Andorrans as they cannot vote in the French Presidential Elections,
      • the other, the bishop of Urgell, is appointed by a foreign head of state, the Pope.
  • European mixed monarchies.
    • Principality of liechtenstein and Monaco are ramble monarchies in which the Prince retains many powers of an accented monarch. For example, the 2003 Constitution referendum gives the Prince of Principality of liechtenstein the ability to veto whatsoever law that the Landtag (parliament) proposes and vice versa. The Prince can hire or dismiss whatsoever elective member or government employee from their mail service. Even so, different an accented monarch, the people tin can call for a plebiscite to end the Prince'south reign. The Prince of Monaco has similar powers: he cannot hire or dismiss any elective member or government employee from his or her postal service, simply he can select the minister of state, government quango and judges.
  • Muslim monarchies. These Muslim monarchs of the Kingdom of Bahrain; the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace; Malaysia; the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan; the Land of Kuwait; the Kingdom of morocco; the Oman; the State of Qatar; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates generally retain far more powers than their European or Commonwealth counterparts.

Accented monarchs remain in the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace; the Sultanate of Oman; and the Kingdom of Kingdom of saudi arabia. The Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, and the State of Qatar are classified as mixed, pregnant there are representative bodies of some kind, simply the monarch retains almost of his powers. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Malaysia, the Kingdom of Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates are constitutional monarchies, just their monarchs even so retain more than substantial powers than in European equivalents.

  • East and Southeast Asian constitutional monarchies.
  • The Kingdom of Bhutan; the Kingdom of Cambodia; Japan; and the Kingdom of Thailand have ramble monarchies where the monarch has a limited or formalism office. Thailand changed from traditional absolute monarchy into a ramble i in 1932, while the Kingdom of Bhutan changed in 2008. The Cambodia had its ain monarchy after independence from the French Colonial Empire, which was deposed after the Central khmer Rouge came into power. The monarchy was subsequently restored in the peace agreement of 1993.
  • Other monarchies.
  • Five monarchies do non fit into one of the above groups past virtue of geography or class of monarchy: the Kingdom of Tonga in Polynesia; the Kingdom of Eswatini and the Kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa; and the Sovereign Armed forces Club of Malta (Southward.M.O.M.), and the Vatican City State in Europe. Of these, the Kingdom of Lesotho and the Kingdom of Tonga are constitutional monarchies, while the Kingdom of Eswatini and the The holy see State are absolute monarchies. The Kingdom of Eswatini is increasingly being considered a diarchy. The King, or Ngwenyama, rules alongside his female parent, the Ndlovukati, as dual heads of state originally designed to exist checks on political ability. The Ngwenyama, even so, is considered the administrative caput of state, while the Ndlovukati is considered the spiritual and national head of state, a position which has become largely symbolic in recent years. S.M.O.Yard. is governed by an elected Prince and Grand Master. The Pope is the absolute monarch of the Vatican by virtue of his position every bit head of the Roman Cosmic Church and Bishop of Rome; he is an elected rather than hereditary ruler. The Pope need not be a denizen of the territory prior to his election past the cardinals.

Lines of succession [edit]

Some of the extant sovereign monarchies accept lines of succession that go back to the medieval period or artifact:

  • The kings of Cambodia merits descent from Queen Soma (1st century), although the historiographical record is interrupted in the "Postal service-Angkor Period" (15th/16th centuries). A real unified cambodia first came to existence in 802. The monarchy in Kingdom of cambodia was abolished between 1970 and 1993.
  • There exist several suggestions on a possible line of succession in the Danish monarchy from the late 7th century and until Gorm the Old, but none of these suggestions have so far won universal acceptance. Nigh monarchs in Denmark since the 940s have been descendants of Gorm the Old'south male parent Harthacnut and all monarchs in Kingdom of denmark since 1047 have been descendants of titular Queen Estrid Svendsdatter. A formal police of succession was not adopted in Denmark until 1665.
  • Japan, considered a constitutional monarchy nether the Imperial House of Nihon, is traditionally said to accept originated with the mythical Emperor Jimmu. The first verifiable historiographical show begins with Emperor Kinmei in the sixth century.
  • The monarchs of the Kingdom of Norway by virtue of descent from Harald I Fairhair, who united the realm in 872. Harald as a member of the Business firm of Yngling is given a partly legendary line of succession from before petty kings in historiographical tradition. Far from all monarchs of Norway since the 930s accept been descendants of Harald Fairhair: at least vii or viii Norwegian kings from the period c. 970 – 1859 were non descendants of Harald Fairhair.
  • The kings of Espana by descent from the Cosmic Monarchs (via the Business firm of Habsburg), ultimately combining the lines of succession of Castile and León and Aragon, realms established in the 10th to 11th centuries in the class of the Reconquista, via the Kingdom of Asturias challenge descent from the Visigothic Kingdom (which, originally ruled by the Thervingi kings, had become elective in the 6th century). The monarchy of Kingdom of spain was abolished twice in the 19th and 20th centuries (1873–1874 and 1931–1947) and replaced by republics.
  • The monarchs of the United Kingdom and Democracy realms inherit the throne by virtue of descent from Sophia of Hanover, according to the Act of Settlement 1701. Sophia was the granddaughter of James VI and I who inherited and held in union the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland (Union of the Crowns) in 1603. Succession to the English language throne originates with the House of Wessex, established in the 6th century; the Scottish throne with descent from Pictish kings who as well enter the historical record around the sixth century.

Footnote [edit]

^1 Kingdom of belgium is the merely existing pop monarchy – a system in which the monarch'due south championship is linked to the people rather than a country. The championship of Belgian kings is non Rex of Belgium, but instead Male monarch of the Belgians. Some other unique feature of the Belgian organization is that the new monarch does not automatically presume the throne at the death or abdication of his predecessor; he simply becomes monarch upon taking a ramble oath.
