Monarchies rule!


Literally. There are now 44 independent states governed by some royal nonse; 10 are in the modern 'west'. These are apparently the highest numbers since 1972. Queens are on the rise baby, so it's right and proper that we're about to allow them to legally marry each other in SA.

Come on Phil, how many of those monarchs are just tax sucking figureheads? and the ones that actually do rule... witness Tonga!
Dismemberment of monarchies (literally) is one of the only things the French ever got right. Well, that and freedom fries, AHAHAHAHA!
