I like your videos specially war videos

Slowly on all of them, or maybe a video on each country, with focus on the monarch.
Bhutan is really interesting because the king willingly introduced democracy, but the people rejected it and wanted to keep the absolute monarchy
He can undo it any time, because THEY put that in the deal. They can also put him back as absolute monarch without his doing or consent. That's also in the deal.
The people of Bhutan are smart enough to understand that monarchy is the best political system

The Queen of Denmark theoretically also have the power to veto any law. She has never used it and likely never will, but she has the power
She's a clever lady, so she's well aware that exercising that right would probably mean the end of the Danish monarchy.
She's probably having it as a last resort shall the country come in the hands of alt-right (or any kind of totalitarian) party and they bring a law so vile it would ruin it's minorities or something along the line. Other than that, there's no need to ever implement it. However, everything I know about Denmark tells me that's never going to happen, so everyone can be happy.
That is the same in the U.K. and the veto has never been used as she is the Queen by the Consent of the People only
Out of all the royal families I like the danish royal family the most
This is a power most constitutional monarchs have, including the monarchs of Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain. They are very rarely used, and are considered “reserve powers”. The king of Malaysia, who is usually a purely symbolic figure like his European counterparts, in a very rare event used his veto earlier this year to block a law that would have given the government massive and arbitrary extrajudicial powers under the pretext of “fighting the coronavirus”
Malaysia: *our country has 9 Monarchs*
UK: *that’s cute, our monarch has 15 countries*
Yeah, we've had a few cut backs recently. Cost of living and all that....
God Save The King 🤴
I think it's really interesting that in Bulgaria, the last King was a very young boy when he was deposed by the communists, and he was elected Prime Minister when he was in his 60s. Some crazy shit.

Fun fact: Finland had the shortest lived monarchy government. They only had a king for a little over two months named Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse. He never actually set foot in the country either. In light of the fact he was born in what is now Germany and Wilhelm II's abdication, the Finns weren't in favor of him so he renounced his throne.

In Monaco the Monarchy is literally the state, if the Royal Family suddenly disappeared Monacon wouldn't be a city state any longer and would have to become part of France.
yes, and there was a disposition regarding succession over there. If the prince never had sons it would become part of France. It came close to happen because Albert II got married later in life
Also, the Prince doesn’t just rule a country, he’s also running a business.
I searched for this type of video about two weeks ago! Now its here. Thanks man great video
Technically the queen of the UK does have executive power
She must sign off every single law and can choose whether to suspend parliament.
However in practice there would be a scandal if she did without co-operation of the government 😂
Same in Belgium. We actually had such a scandal in 1990 when our king Boudewijn didn't want to sign a bill legalizing abortion. Our government declared him unfit for rule for one day, signed the bill themselves and declared him fit to rule again the day after.
@@Lttlemoi Actually, abortion was still illegal and punishable after this
The law Boudewijn didn't want to sign (though he did ask the government Martens at the time to find a solution to pass the law without him signing it), just provided a few exceptions where abortion would no longer be punishable
Same in the Netherlands. The king can most likely use that executive power once. It's very unlikely that the Netherlands will be a monarchy for long after that.
MattyJ 1168 but in reality they can pass a law without her signing
@@Lttlemoi I remember reading about that when the abortion debate was going in my country (Portugal). It made you Belgians sound quite badass. "Just dismiss the king for 24h, then we take him back."
The dutch went the reverse route, they went from being a republic to being a monarchy.
@George Nathanael no it isnt
The dutch « republic » was more like a duchy in all but in name. It was a crowned republic, same for Venice and other Italian « republics »
George Nathanael no the royal family has zero power
Sadly, yes.
-a Dutchman
@@thombrawlstars8345 Yes it is in fact the kings ruled the republic as Statholdiers so although it was a republic the Dutch kings and nobles still ruled the republic. So basically it was a monarchy in disguise
Recently discovered your channel and I very much enjoy it because of my love of geography. Just one note though, for Malaysia in the map, you only highlighted East Malaysia, which is the western part of Borneo, and you didnt highlight Peninsula Malaysia, which is south of Thailand. I am a Malaysian from the Peninsula and a majority of Malaysian are from the Peninsula.
I love geography as well.

Malaysians:

Bruh moment.

*Laughs in 9 day queen*
Normie
Eyyy 9 Kings boiii
and rotating monarchs too.. only Malaysia practiced this system
I myself am from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and am extremely grateful and thankful to the fact that we are an absolute monarchy.
The royal family members, especially those closer to the line of the throne, are brought up since day one to be rulers. As such, they are educated in ways that build a strong political foundation and equipped with the information they need to lead someday.
Sure, we were not the best country and we had our pretty big share of problems, but as of now, I’m pretty happy. We have had it relatively good during the pandemic, we have a strong economy, we get fairly good support from the government(paid scholarships, allowances for new families, etc.) and most human-rights issues (major ones) that we faced were solved.
Not to mention, the only reason we have a royal family is because all tribe leaders, and natives of the land lent their support to the Alsaud family (over a century ago), be it in soldiers, food, or money. So our ancestors chose to support their claim, they didn’t use some weird excuse that God chose them, or that they are born of a different cloth from humanity, none of that weird holier than thou stuff.
So I would hope people keep an open mind to absolute monarchies, despite the bad examples (and there are many) that we have seen in the past, there were/are/will always be good ones. So it doesn’t have to be a weird or backwards thing to be practiced, just different.
As long as y'all have oil, the kingdom is set (I'd like to say set in stone, but it's oil, so... #badjokes). Their main issue for me is totalitarism (either against criticism or due to islamic law) and maybe money laundry through Aramco and Newcastle United.
But those things happen in other parts too
Amazing video! A lot of work put into this! :-)
Romania also has a monarch family, tho we have a weird situation as our king died recently and they don't quite know whom to pass the crown
Dracula
@@Yenlag please shut up
Is it Alan Walker in your profile

Didn't the king have any... Kids, and of them, an eldest one?
It’s funny how the netherlands was one of the earlier republics but now is one of the last monarchies
They where always like a monarchy but it was called a stadholder which made a decision with the dukes of the other parts of the the Benelux
@Antoine Shelby In fact, in the 1600s the dutch Stadholder family was the most powerfull in the world.
@@morocco_020fc7 technically no the stadholder was a gouvrement official that was limited while the main executive and legeslative power was still in the hands of the provinces but the stadholder would pull more power usually. The Orange family was originally chosen to give willem I a position in the gouvrement but ended up going in a inheritance way and he was supposed to be chosen by the estates-general only from 1741 was it declared that it would be inherited but the last chosen stadholde didn't inherit it from the original family after willem III died without an heir the Frisian stadholder was given the position and got renamed to Willem IV and after that we got attacked by revolutionary france so it looked and almost functioned as a monarchy but it wasn't so it's a yes but actually no case
It all depends on the culture. If something works in one country one can't assume it should apply for most others as that will likely go wrong. Every case is different.
They just added useless ceremonial things to already extant position of Stadholder. Which is not progress at all. Focus on ceremonies and symbols is a sign of primitive understanding of the world. The Dutch would never devolve into that themselves, it was Napoleon and later reactionary European trends after Napoleonic wars which transformed Netherlands into a monarchy
Updated: Thai monarchy are now having more and more executive powers, and on its way to become absolute monarchy if not reform.
Yikes, the fate of all constitutional monarchies
In practice, yes. Just not on paper.
It's good that there a monarchies, when the king or queen adresses a speach to the people in good times and bad times, because of that one family our country feels united, and you don't have that when a president speaks that you didn't even vote on🤔
You dont vote for the monarch either whats your point
@@arran8687 That a none political head of state can have an easier time uniting people than a political one.
So it is easier for say, the Danish Queen to speak to her people in a way that unite,. than it is for a US president...
(no matter who he or she is)
Also having a none political head of state help since he or she deal with all the ceremonial stuff. Banquets at state visits, accepting ambassadors and a lot more.
Allowing the political head of government to focus on actually running the state.
@@arran8687 not every country is democratic
@@thomasbaagaard Well, in Greece we have a president that has exactly zero responsibilities and she has the role of the queen of England. The president elected by the Parliament for 5 years and is there merely for speeches and for ceremonies. And the president is *not* a queen/king, but also not like the US president.
Facts
the japanese republican movement is small
and monarchists make 20% of the romanian population
I believe the current Heiress to the Crown of Romania is reasonably popular, perhaps much more so than King Michael was, so I think a lot of the increase, and it seems to be still increasing, is her touch.
that is bad news for sure
@@Apis4 idt Michael's daughters are more popular than he was.
Let Romania get its king Back!
@@mihailupu5107 Michael wasn't very popular with everyone, Margareta seems to appeal to more than just Monarchists, so the Heiress Apparent, though not sure if she inherited the "Keeper of the Crown" title of her Father, seems to be a popular woman with Monarchists, and even many who certainly weren't when Michael was alive.
She's got no children however, iirc, and her sisters oldest, and former third in line after his mother, and Aunt doesn't seem to be everyone's cup of tea, and was removed from succession for his playboy antics and fathering an illegitimate child on a visit to Romania from studying abroad.
So I suspect unless any action happens to make Margareta more recognised as the Queen of Romania, it possibly won't happen even with the popularity of the monarchy now.
Her sister Elena, her Heir to the crown, isn't as popular, nor are her younger sisters Sophie and Marie. So any momentum to towards even a partial reinstatement of some recognition for the Romanian royals will probably need to be on the basis of Margareta's popularity.
Fun fact: the English monarchy was abolished for a bit, but the alternative was so bad that it was reinstated shortly after.
Ahhh cromwell the so called lord protector or most likely a douche 😆but its charles 1 too that's so ambitious and hungry for power since the scots took over the throne after the great Tudors the monarchy was messed up
That is why English people still have an irrational fear of monarchy ending, as if that would automatically turn them into a dictatorship or something (many Scots and Welsh really don't share this opinion, if you ask some number of them, you'll see). Someone should tell them 4 centuries have passed 😆
@@KateeAngel No we don't lol, many of us just like the idea that our monarchy is incredibly old and still around, and see the monarchy as something that represents our history and traditions, though if the monarch decided to try and interfere with how the country is run I assure you we all be very quick too turn on her and decide to become a republic.
@@pipercharms7374 Honestly if boris does something crazy then I am very supportive of the queen taking actions
@@KateeAngel it is the same in NI.
If you're also counting non-sovereign kingdoms like order of malta, then you can also count the Sultanate of Yogyakarta which officially is on the level of province in Indonesia, the sultan is on the level of governors below the president.

There are more monarchies in africa, it's just since colonial borders were drawn up without respect to pre existing kingdoms, the monarchies aren't really relevant to the entire country, but the are sometimes relevant to states or provinces within the country in which their kingdoms have jurisdiction. But the federal and state governments almost always have more power than the monarchs.

I love my country's monarch system (Kuwait). Basically, we have 2 Amirs of Kuwait. The primary and the secondary Amir. If the primary passes away, the secondary Amir takes over as Primary Amir, and another secondary Amir would be elected by the government (they look at different skill sets of the Sabah family to see which one is the most worthy of being Amir)
it's similar here in KSA

Neighbouring Singapore might be said to have originated from a monarchy I guess? Since the island nation was originally a peripheral part of the _Johor_ kingdom (now a state in Malaysia, with the monarchy retained) until it was rented out to the British under colonialism, who saw the island's potential as a maritime trade port due to its strategic location, & expanded the island's human settlement significantly into a city-state

Norway is also unique in the way that it now is a hereditary monarchy, but the people voted for it becoming a monarchy in 1905
Well it was still a monarchy before it only didn't have it's own monarch. The Swedish King was also King of Norway. They decided to split so Norway chose a Danish prince as the new King. He however wanted the people to take a vote wether they wanted him or a republic. So basically they voted to retain the monarchy with their own King.
I think it funny and even more unique how (I think) Romania abolished their monarchy then later voted their old king as president.

Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy largely by inertia.
There is occasional discussion of becoming a Republic, but most people just say 'why?'
If it ever became an imperative, consensus is that we could do the switch in about 48 hours.
Canada and Australia.
Two countries that are so different have 2 things in common
They both have 3 "a"s in their names.
And swear allegiance to the queen.
Fun fact: The Thai’s absolute monarchy was ended in 1932 after a revolution, which transforms the nation into a constitutional monarchy and its name.
And now it’s a military dictatorship under the monarchy
The Netherlands used to be a republic, but became a kingdom only in 1815. Likewise, after independence Belgium wanted to be a republic, but was forced to choose a king in order to get diplomatic recognition for its independence.

Agung have real power that includes full military control, they're not just some ceremonial monarchy haha. But it's only during emergency times. Other than that, they have a duty to maintain order, exercise islamic values and aid those in need.

Greece's last king still lives today, Constantine II. He is 80 years old right now unfortunately
Δεν ήξερα ότι ζούσε ακόμα
εύχομαι ότι κάποια μέρα ο βασιλιάς μας θα επιστρέψει και θα επαναφέρει την μοναρχία.
I was in London in summer of 1977 at Harrods purchasing something to wear to a function relating to the Queen's Silver Jubilee, when I rounded a corner and came face to face with the King of the Hellenes. I bowed my head and said, "Your Majesty." He was at first taken a back trying to remember if I was someone he knew (I suppose). He immediately smiled his characteristic grin and asked my name. I told him and after a few pleasantries we departed. That evening at the function at Claridges given by the late Duke of Westminster, I was again reintroduced to the King and his beautiful wife, Queen Anne Marie. He explained we had met briefly earlier at Harrods. She, too, was very nice and down- to- Earth., I was always hoping he would be able to return to his throne.
"Greek king" more like byzantine emperor
Why isn't he reinstated as a figurehead?
We love Our chill chain smoking queen of Denmark ☀️
No we do not. She should abdicate ASAP and disolve the institution.
Kevin Bosnjak oh get off your moralistic self-righteous. It would have to be done and would only be done by referendum, a referendum you would lose
The fact is that by us keeping the institution of the monarchy, we are forced to live in a constant constitutional crisis, that makes our realm vulnerable to fascist and/or undemocratic movements.
The Greeks understood that the key to any strong democracy was a firm and undebatable constitution. So when the constitution tells us that we live in a monarchy, and the Monarch chooses the government, we are forced to ignore that constitution, to live in a democracy. And when the constitution tells us that we are an Evangelical Lutheran nation, we are forced to ignore the constitution in order to remain a secular society. And when the constitution says that all diplomacy is to be carried out by the king, we are once more forced to ignore it in order to remain a functional modern nation-state.
This makes our constitution weak, as it is constantly and openly ignored. What then else may be ignored? The right to habeas corpus? The right to remain silent? The right to assemble? Indeed, none of these are truly protected as long as the constitution cannot and does not reflect reality, and therefore the royal family and the institution of monarchy is a real, measurable and imminent danger to a free democratic society.
So what side are you on, friend? Will you stand with king or country?
GormTheElder The power of the crown in Denmark hasn’t absolute power, just look at the Easter Crisis (1920). The role of Danish monarch is two folded. One) ceremonial duties, open museums, school etc. and on a personal note, it would say the monarchy is as most a part of Denmarks culture, then anything else. Second) ratifying laws. Though any king or queen doesn’t want a full on revolution. So there don’t reject any laws.
(Weird that you talk against the danish monarchy, since you use the “Earl of Jelling” and the first recognize “king of Denmark” as your name. [danish: Gorm den Gamle. English: Gorm the Elder]

Indeed, this is what I stated; they don't have absolute power, because we are forced to ignore our constitution, the very form of which formed the basis for the easter crisis. It is of little consequence how much of a cultural institution the monarchy has become, when it forces us to live in a fundementally weaker and more unstable state; would slavery being a cultural institution be a reason to keep it around? To barbarians, perhaps!
I say we take inspriration from the most civilized societies of Western History such as the Athenians, who understood that law, not custom ought rule a people, and adjust our constitution accordingly - Either to strip the monarch of all formal power, embrace actual monarchy or to abolish the house of knaves who robbed and raped your ancestors to achieve their wealth. Whichever you prefer, something ought be done, for the current order is inherently weak.
Nice video, but I would like to make a remark. The kingdom of the Netherlands is a bit more compliccated than it might seems from your video, therefore I think you missed some countries. The kindom of the Netherlands consists of four countries: The Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint-Maarten. The last three are their own countries with their own parliament and democracies but are part of the Dutch Kingdom. Fun fact: In these countries they can vote for the EU parliament even though they are situated in the Caribbean.

The Netherlands used to be one off the only republics in Europe but eventually one of the only monarchies.
Fico muito contente por ver um canal Portugues ter tanto sucesso. Sou seguidor recente mas estou a adorar o conteúdo do canal. Continua o excelente trabalho.
Sou brasileiro, e olha: só tenho certeza que ele é português quando ele fala o nome das cidades portuguesas, porque aí o sotaque aparece.

The heir of Bulgaria's previous tsar lives in Spain today
TheElectrixPunch BG The disputed heir to the russian throne does as well. Also, the legitimist heir to France does as well
@@welcometotheinternet574 The "Legitimate" heir to the French throne, is the Duke of Paris, who lives, you guessed it, in Paris. The Bonapartes rescinded any claims to the French Crown, and whilst the Bourbon monarchy of Spain, press their claim, they gave it up, in writing, in multiple copies, almost four hundred years ago.
So NO, the Heir Apparent to the Crown of France, lives in FRANCE.
Apis4 When did the Bonapartes rescind any claim to the French Crown? They have 2 claims over a succession dispute for Christ sake
King Simeon of Bulgaria and his Queen do live in Bulgaria and he was elected Prime Minister for awhile.
Surely he was a king not a tsar?
3:03 You've only indicated half of Malaysia on the map -- you shaded in part of Borneo, but not the peninsular bit.
Yes2....
Love the video. Small detail, The Faroe Islands and Greenland are part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
10:16 I like how Poland Lithuania is just its own category
Because they had noble monarchy in which nobility democraticly elected a king and cooperated with him to rule commonwealth and after king died they elected another king
@@ermin2248yeah I know, I just mean it's uniqe and it's the first time I see something like that
A szlachcic on the croft is the wojwod's equal!
Well you see rhere are 3 types of governments: monarchies, republics and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealths
It's was very special for it's time. An elective monarchy
In Bulgaria's case the monarchist movement actually suceeded and Tsar Simeon II became the republic's Prime minister from 2001 to 2005.
But why didn't he become Tsar again (Restoration I mean)
@@aaronpenaperalta he was exaggerating a bit when he said succeeded, the monarchist movement is much more powerful in the Balkans than anywhere else, but it wasn't enough to get a proper restoration
Thanks for another great video. One thing I really respect in your videos is your accuracy and attention to detail, even when it comes to small countries.
1) I don't abide by the popularly accepted logic that older = out of date and newer = better. Interesting fact, of the "Economist's" 21 countries ranked as "full democracies," 10 of the 37 constituional monarchies are on the list. While only 11 of the 160 republics are on the list (the USA is NOT on the list BTW).
2) I would love to see a comparrison video between parliamentary and full republics. The parliamentary system is older than republican, but I think we are starting to see that parliemantary is more democractic and is more stable and better for the long run; republicanism is starting to look out of date. I don't think people understand the difference and the differences are pretty important.
3) Correction: On your display of the Asian monarchies you only coloured in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak on Boreo) and not the West Malaysia (on the Malay penninsula).
There are many republics which follow the parliamentary form of Government.
Being a republic has nothing to do with having parliamentary form of Government.
You can be a republic and still have the parliamentary form of government.
Hey question, what's wrong with the government of the countries in green(in the beginning of the video)
Prince Charles: mom said it’s my turn to rule
Queen Elizabeth II: no I didn’t
congrats you stole the top comment

Thanks!

Lol 😂
Already surrender and living on small island

Imagine if Italy just brought back the Roman way of rule in Emperors and only being accepted into government through military service.
You forgot to highlight West Malaysia on the peninsula, you only highlighted the East.
And also Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy with 9 sultans.
Im so triggered.
*triggered Malaysian voice*
*TRUE.*
And hold some executive power
@@oce2u only in their states. AGONG does not have executive power. YDP does not have the power to appeal to any laws, policies, governance, etc... He just merely the figurehead of Malaysia.
I just love how he says "countrys" with this cool accent
I just wanna make it clear that Malaysia's king still have power executive power. They also the one who will approve the law that have been debated in parliament.
Used to be a republican, but seeing how a republic usually ends up a monarchy is actually better. A monarch, being politically independent, will have mostly the full support of the people. A president will usually just have around half. So during times of crisis the monarch will be unifying where as the president will be a dividing one
When I see what is happening to our poor Germany right now, i want the Kaiser back.
Egypt needs to revert to a Monarchy and bring back a King since the military dictatorship "republic" obviously isn't working.
Is There Monarchist Party In Egypt????
What if they had a military dictator king
agreed！
Mohammed Shaker jj
They need a Pharao xD Bring back a Ramses
Elizabeth II has a lots of theoretical power but if she where to use it there would be an uprising
Yeah but the people couldn't really do anything since she's immortal anyway
@@maximilianbeyer5642 true that
It's generally a feature of modern constitutional monarchies that the head of state exercises much less power than they theoretically have, whereas the reverse is usually true for elected presidents. Public perception of legitimacy has much more impact on how much power people can wield than what might be written in a constitution.
That's true of a lot of elected leaders too.
I'm not sure with the terrible elected officials we have now, I'm sure some people would be quite refreshed by royal intervention rather than the endless chain of ineffective demagogues we've had for the last 30 years. The only 'uprising' I could see resulting would be more like a top-down resistance by the parliament who would do anything to retain the scheme that they've grown used to running, afterall what is democracy but five wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for lunch?
In Spain the king is not only a ceremonial figure. He is the commander in chief of all the military forces, he can disolve parliament and also any law passed by the government is not oficial until it bears the king's signature.
Abel...those powers are only theoretical.
@@feynman6625 no they're not. A law is worth nothing if it doesn't have the king's signature. Plus, no if you know anything about spanish history, you will rememberers 23-F, when the king stoped a military cue.
3.03 Malaysia have two part, one is malaysia borneo, and one is below thailand which is uncolored.
Fun fact: Malaysia have 9 Sultan(leader of the state), and one preson will rotate as the head leader (Yang di pertuan Agong) every 5 years.
Monarchy are a great way to unite the majority of a population as they are politically neutral (constitutional monarchys)
If only that were the case lol

Please make a video of the different types of governments
Correction: The UAE elects the monarch every 5 years. The election is made by the central council members of the 7 emirates (states)
Thats what he said? It isnt an election (by the people), but that second point of 7.
