It refers to Malaysia I believe, which has a cast of I believe 8 monarchs in each state and they rotate who is the official Sultan.

Heptarchy means seven monarchs, which refers to the seven emirates of the UAE.

Pretty sure it refers to UAE which has an emir in each of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah and Umm al-Quwain. There is also a single elected monarch in Malaysia out of a group of 10 regional monarchs (a decarchy?).

We could probably throw North Korea in there? They don't use the title but they are very much an aristocracy.

But it's a hereditary dictatorship, so it's got that similarity to a traditional monarchy.

But it's not officially hereditary. Then you could add Syria as well.

Not all monarchies are hereditary. Malaysia's isn't, for example, and the early English monarchies weren't.

For quiz geeks: where there are nine different royal families (from nine states) who each take their turn to be the overall constitutional monarch at national level.

That are *still* monarchies? Why that extra word? Is there some sort of "progress" that should lead monarchies to something more "evolved"? Afghanistan's last queen didn't wear a hijab, talk about progress, both socially and politically, since that period in time. Plus, countries can still become monarchies, as Cambodia did (nominally) after the end of Pol Pot's regime.

And Malaysia became a monarchy on independence from Britain in the '50s.

Popular representation with a checks and balances system is the more evolved method of government, not a singular life-long controller given power based on genetics.

I think the quiz maker is referring to the fact that the vast majority of countries in today's modern world are, in name at least, "republics." Monarchies were much more common in the past. Interestingly enough, countries like Canada are technically "monarchies," too, in that the British Monarch is our official head of state. Canada is an example of a "constitutional monarchy."

Unbelievable... Japan a monarchy? Do you even know what a monarchy is? Monarchy is "a political system based upon the undivided sovereignty or rule of a single person". Having a ceremonial figure doesn't make a country like Japan a monarchy like, for example, Saudi Arabia

they wont because they are a (fake) democratic republic. They have elections but they are rigged and there is only 1 candidate to vote for.
