A country with a king or emperor as its head of state.
There are several monarchies in the world.

The monarchy has a very long history, which lasted for thousands of years. However, with the development of the times, there were only dozens of monarchies in the world before the bourgeois-democratic revolution in the18th century, including Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Bhutan, Nepal, Japan, Thailand and Brunei in Asia. Europe has Britain, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Monaco, Liechtenstein and so on. Africa has Morocco, Lesotho and Swaziland; Oceania and America, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and more than a dozen other Commonwealth countries also practice monarchy.

Britain was the first country to implement a parliamentary monarchy. Legally speaking, the king of England can be said to be the most powerful ruler in Britain. But in fact, the king of England has long been a figure who "faces North Korea and ignores politics". The power vested in the king by law must be exercised through the cabinet and parliament.

Objectively speaking, the monarchy has played a positive role in history, promoting the development of civilization and the formation of a nation-state. Today, although the monarch and his royal family members have become the focus of media attention and sometimes even the object of criticism because of their privileges, luxurious life and huge wealth, in the eyes of others, the monarch is a symbol of national unity and a force for maintaining society, which is why they have not been completely sent to the history museum until today.
