People who have a commitment to the ideas of royalty are found in almost every country in Europe. Among all these states, those that are already monarchies in the form of their rule are distinguished.
"Old Woman" Europe
Today, the monarchy in one form or another has been preserved in several countries of the Old World at once. We are talking about such states as Great Britain, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Andorra, the Vatican and Luxembourg.
The most interesting among them all is the United Kingdom, where the commitment to royal power is most serious. The monarchy in this state has a long history. As a result, today there is a huge number of different rituals and rules associated with the royal family. Currently on the throne of Great Britain is Queen Elizabeth II. In the possession of the ruling person is a gigantic complex led by a magnificent palace. Great Britain is a parliamentary monarchy. As a result, the king or queen officially lacks any serious power. Moreover, in fact, these people have serious investments, and the popularity that they possess allows them to possess sufficient weight in society.
Royal power in England is now probably the most stable among all other states with a monarchy. This is largely due to the fact that here all the processes of transferring power to the people were relatively slow. As a result, the crowned family was neither executed nor stripped of its title.
Asian monarchies
Adherence to the ideas of royal authority exists among people not only of the Old World, but also among Asian states. The list of monarchies in this part of the world includes as many as 13 states. The most interesting among them are Saudi Arabia and Japan. If in the second, the emperor has virtually no serious rights and opportunities to influence the policy of the state, then the first is a truly strong monarchy. Here, commitment to the ideas of royal authority at a fairly high level is supported primarily by the high welfare of citizens, which increased during the reign of the monarch. The fact is that Saudi Arabia has rich reserves of high-quality oil. The state, led by the monarch, built an excellent model for the redistribution of these goods. As a result, a considerable share of the sale of oil settles not only in the treasury, but also in the pockets of ordinary citizens. It is for this reason that over the past few decades there has been a marked increase in royal power in this state.
The advantages of the monarchy
This type of government, regardless of the opinion of various kinds of human rights defenders, has its own advantages. First of all, we are talking about the speed of decision-making and the speed of their implementation. In the event that power is concentrated in one hand, a particular task can be completed as quickly as possible.
Even if we are talking about those monarchies, where adherence to the ideas of royal power is formal, then here you can benefit. The fact is that the crowned family in this case is a kind of symbol of the unity of the state.
