Economic freedom: nation=horacellum/detail=trend/censusid=48

Inoffensive Centrist Democracy, I believe, is basically the most centrist classification. Your economic freedom decreased a little, which made you Democratic Socialist. Had it increased instead, I believe you would’ve been classified Capitalist Paradise.

If you have a particular classification you like, feel free to quote me and mention what it is, and I can maybe give you suggestions on how to get there!

Ah.. thanks for the advices

Monarchy is a bad idea imo, there’s no reason for some person to become head of state just because they were born into the right family and the people shouldn’t have to support a royal families luxury while many people struggle financially.

That's an unfortunate opinion, the British Monarchy costs millions each year, but (pre-Covid 19) they were responsible for billions in tourism. The cost outweighed by the existence.

The UK spends more I believe on Welfare to help, other countries (cause you know, forget our own poor) and silly International communities, then goes out to the Royal Family.

The Royal Family is also a business and gets the majority of its money from the businesses they run.

What is everyone's opinion on a Monarchy? I would like to know.

Depends, if they have no real power I don't care. if they do, then they should reconsider their system

nothing new on the rmb huh, how about the poll and stuff

How come the Civil Rights and Social Conservatism trends are mirrored?

I second this idea. Bloodline is never meant to be decider of a nation's leader. As they live behind silk curtains and armed guards, the people suffered much, blinded by the doctrine of "divine mandate" so that they fear the monarchs as much as they fear God. Many monarchies that still exists on Earth have depended much on religion as a tool, claiming that they're equally divine, if not more divine than common people.

I don't believe it is possible to assign a cost or a value to any one country's CHOICE to maintain a monarchy, constitutional or otherwise. A monarchy can serve a legitimate purpose as a symbol of national unity and identity and many citizens take great pride in seeing a royal family as head of state. Are monarchies for every country? No, of course not, but for those countries that choose to keep a monarchy, that would be their business entirely and more power to them. Beyond that, it is none of my business or of anyone else.

By the way, I make my comments as a citizen of the USA and certainly no supporter of hereditary royalty in my own country, but I can see how other countries could value a monarchy.

I believe that monarchies are good as figureheads/symbols of pride, but not as actual political powers (beyond a point). A long-lasting royal family can bring a sense of unity to a country, like in Japan with the emperors and (I assume) in England. I think this would be a constitutional monarchy?

If a member of a royal family wants to become a politician, go ahead - do it like everyone else.
