The monarch not only acts as the sovereign of the United Kingdom, but also 14 other territories, distributed between America and Oceania, consider him as their head of state.

Anachronistic for some, traditional for others. Functional in some cases and merely symbolic in others.

Currently, we can find monarchies of all kinds.

The trend, however, indicates that the majority of monarchies that we currently find in Europe and Asia have a notable inclination for the constitutional-parliamentary model.

While the cases we find in the Middle East region (in West Asia) still feature a considerable amount of absolutist and theocratic monarchies.

In the following interactive developed by Trade discover the main characteristics of the monarchies that still exist in the world.
