No I had something more alike continental monarchies like Spain to name one, in mind.

Hey but dont forget my slogan:
"We dont have monarchs in Austria, just their jewels"
That's interesting. I don't know jack about the Spanish monarchy. Didn't even know they had one. I also didn't know that the English queen was "powerful." I was under the impression that ever since the so-called Glorious Revolution hundreds of years ago, the monarchy in Britain was hobbled. What can the Queen of Britain do that you would say that she is "powerful?"
