Should I make a video about specific Kings/Queens? *Who would you suggest?* (Such as the longest reigns, etc.)

Bhutan is really interesting because the king willingly introduced democracy, but the people rejected it and wanted to keep the absolute monarchy

I can't believe you completely forgot the Nigerian monarchy. I even once received an e-mail from the prince of Nigeria!

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

Malaysia: *our country has 9 Monarchs* UK: *that’s cute, our monarch has 15 countries*

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: there are still a lot of ceremonial kings in Indonesia, and one constitutional king which acts as a governor on that province.

🇯🇵 Japan "sunrise" 🌞 the oldest monarchy 🇲🇦 Morocco "sunset" 🌕 2nd oldest monarchy

How long do you want to be queen? Queen Elizabeth: Yes

50 years later... Wikipedia: Queen Elizabeth II IS the current monarch of the UK. Edit: whelp, this aged like milk

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.

I love that you named every country even the small Islands, showing that they matter!

Fun Fact: Bhutan's king stepped down to create a democracy, but he was so good that people protested that the king come back.

Fun Fact: Morocco has the second oldest and still ruling monarchy after japan

imagine ruling a country with your mom

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.

I searched for this type of video about two weeks ago! Now its here. Thanks man great video

The shortest reigning undisputed monarch was Emperor Xiaoming’s daughter. Lasted less than five hours because they thought she was actually a he. Because of that, Yuan Zhao became emperor

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 😂

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.

Amazing video! A lot of work put into this! :-)

The dutch went the reverse route, they went from being a republic to being a monarchy.

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

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.

Updated: Thai monarchy are now having more and more executive powers, and on its way to become absolute monarchy if not reform.

Malaysians: *Laughs in 9 monarchs*

It’s funny how the netherlands was one of the earlier republics but now is one of the last monarchies

Like someone once said, Queen Elizabeth has been chilling on earth ever since the dinosaurs.

Thank you for helping me with my political science holiday homework

Also, Malaysia Yang Dipertuan Agong (Sultan) is the Head of religious and commander in chief of Royal Malaysian Army DAULAT TUANKU

the japanese republican movement is small and monarchists make 20% of the romanian population

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🤔

Best video, I liked very much , thanks

10:13 types of governemnt: -Monarchy -Republic -POLAND-LITHUANIA

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.

A very cogent video. Well done.

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. Other sultanates in the country are non-official and ceremonial only.

Fun fact: the English monarchy was abolished for a bit, but the alternative was so bad that it was reinstated shortly after.

Video suggestion: Countries that are almost landlocked.

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)

PLEASE DO SPECIFIC GOV"T TYPES. :) I love our videos!

Greetings from Malaysia. I love how you're able to explain in a simple way on how Malaysian monarchy works. Although you might have left out the Peninsula Malaysia in the map, where all the kings are located 😅

Very informative.

Love how you completely covered South America with the legend.

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

See, there are different types of territory. 1-Monarchy 2-Ecclesiastical lands 3-Republics 4- _Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth_

I love this topic, I specifically searched for it and found your video but you were talking a little fast for me to keep up so I tried to turn on the captions and the auto default is Dutch for some reason so I tried auto translate and now I can't focus cause the captions are mostly wrong and absurdly hilarious. We'll try and get through this though. (I tried slowing down the speed but your innotation or raising your pitch at the end of the sentence is throwing me off for that cause I can tell it's supposed to be faster, anyway I like the content I just hope I can comprehend it)

Good video!

The last Bulgarian Tsar who was exiled to Spain as a child after WW2 has also held elected office in the country as a Prime Minister in the period 2001-2005

11:12 there is at least one big restoration movement, in Georgia. Their public is split around 50% pro and against a constitutioal monarcy. Even the newly electet Prime Minister leans towards the pro side.

From malaysia 🇲🇾, good explaination ,accurate

Fun fact : there are still recognized kings in France ! More precisely in Wallis and Futuna, a French overseas territory made up of 3 customary kingdoms recognized by the French State and Government. The 3 kings are called the "Lavelua"

when Malaysia only controls the eastern half how we suppose to land in the seas now 7:18 map

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.

3:02 "Malaysia" The other 11 states: *sobs in teh tarik*

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.

Peninsular Malaysia..😢😢😢 this is the second time I see educational channels forgot that Malaysia consist of two parts and not just on Borneo.😢😢😢 and ironically, all the rotational kings are only on the peninsula.

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.

So how he said, Greece is not a monarchy but we still have royals. And our prince looks really handsome ngl haha

I am from the country where the only emperor is in the world.🇯🇵 And the dynasty of my country is the oldest existing dynasty in the world！

10:16 I like how Poland Lithuania is just its own category

Love the video. Small detail, The Faroe Islands and Greenland are part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Malaysia have 9 Sultans for their states, some states don't have. Every 5 years one of them will become the "Emperor" which we call "Agung". They have a specific order on who will be the next emperor. 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. That's why Malaysian's monarchy-federal government rule is unique as compared to other countries.

Greece's last king still lives today, Constantine II. He is 80 years old right now unfortunately

We love Our chill chain smoking queen of Denmark ☀️

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).

As a Malaysian 🇲🇾 I admit it 👌 DAULAT TUANKU ❤

In Bulgaria's case the monarchist movement actually suceeded and Tsar Simeon II became the republic's Prime minister from 2001 to 2005.

Tonga is in the Commonwealth (but not a realm of Elizabeth II)

Hello I'm from Malaysia and I'm here just to inform you that at the cover photo of this video, you coloured the map of Malaysia incorrectly. You coloured East Malaysia but you missed out West Malaysia.

3:03 You've only indicated half of Malaysia on the map -- you shaded in part of Borneo, but not the peninsular bit.

Love your vids man, keep up the good worker brother

That moment when you realize that map doesn’t include South Sudan

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. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands

7:52 I just wanted to state that; in theory, a non-citizen of thw Vatican City can be pope, as a cardinal can literally vote ANY person in the entire world, but that is incredibly rare. Most of the time the cardinals elect one of their own kind (another cardinal), and cardinals (every single one of them) are ALL citizens of the vatican city, as all people who have jobs or work within it are legally citizens of the state.

The heir of Bulgaria's previous tsar lives in Spain today

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.

Please make a video of the different types of governments

I think a video should be made (most likely more than one part) of which countries used to be monarchies.

Prince Charles: mom said it’s my turn to rule Queen Elizabeth II: no I didn’t

You forgot to highlight West Malaysia on the peninsula, you only highlighted the East. And also Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy with 9 sultans.

Hey question, what's wrong with the government of the countries in green(in the beginning of the video)

in the region of yogyakarta, Indonesia, they still have their sultan acting as the head of the province, does that count as monarchy as well?

1:31 Emir is Prince in arabic

Egypt needs to revert to a Monarchy and bring back a King since the military dictatorship "republic" obviously isn't working.

Imagine if Italy just brought back the Roman way of rule in Emperors and only being accepted into government through military service.

I love the categories on that map. Monarchies Republics and Poland Lithuania

Time traveler: what are you reading about? Me: About the British empire Time traveler: which one?

I support the restauration of the Brazilian Monarchy! 💚💛

The Netherlands used to be one off the only republics in Europe but eventually one of the only monarchies.

Do a video on government types please soon

Correction: The UAE elects the monarch every 5 years. The election is made by the central council members of the 7 emirates (states)

I just love how he says "countrys" with this cool accent

7:23 Peninsular malayia: has kings (not coloured) Sabah and sarawak, also part of malaysia but doesn't have any kings in that region: is coloured

Yogyakarta too is officially a kingdom even tough part of the Indonesian republic

Elizabeth II has a lots of theoretical power but if she where to use it there would be an uprising

Also I'd say that through Hawaii, the USA is a former monarchy along with Mexico and Brazil and Central America

Thank you

Ik this video is two years old, but yeah, a video about the different government types would be cool.
