In modern times, I guess the only difference between a king and a figurehead president such as in Germany is that royal titles are hereditary?

What is that red dot in Italy? The Vatican?

It’s curious that the Vatican City is designated as a monarchy. The Pope is not formally the king of the Vatican State, although he effectively has the powers usually enjoyed by monarchs.

Hot take: Orban and Putin are more kings than Frederik, Felipe and Charles.

Russia and Belarus are also monarchies and republics only in their name.

That red’s doing a lot of lifting in the case of England, at least.

Fun fact: Andorra doesn’t have one but two heads of state: the two co-princess but they aren’t even from Andorra. Instead, their heads of state are the president of France and the bishop of Urgell in Spain, meaning that their head of state is elected by the people of a foreign nation. That’s quite unique and no, the pope (head of state of Vatican City) is technically not elected by foreigners since cardinals hold citizenship of the Vatican.

Honestly, some countries should think about restoring monarchies. France, Romania, Hungary, Serbia and so on could do well with a neutral head of state, considering the problems some of those countries has been having in recent times.

Pretty sure at least one of those is a tsardom and not a republic.
I once saw this map with the colors switched. That showed the color of blood of heads of state.

The vatican does not have a herreditary head of state. It is thus a republic and not a monarchy.

I recently learned that the last King of Germany (Prussia) is buried in the Netherlands as he only wanted to be buried in Germany if it were to be a kingdom again.
Lets hope the Spanish get their republic back some day…

Andorra’s not a monarchy. It’s literally in the name.

I think Monarchs having power on paper is a thing that needs to change. Sure, it is fine now when they are not choosing to use that power but it’s not good having that option there for someone to abuse if they wish

Would be interesting to see the [level of how democratic](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/democracy-index-eiu) they are on the same map, too.
No kings!
