@kpaige British Overseas Territories are technically not part of the UK, just like the Crown Colonies.

From Wikipedia: "The British Overseas Territories (BOTs) or United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs) are fourteen territories all with a constitutional link with – but not forming part of – the United Kingdom."

yeah, trinidad should definitely be considered part of south america due to how geographically close it is, especially if cyprus is considered part of asia, completely ignoring culture and tradition. iceland should also be considered part of north america... malta considered part of africa... palau part of asia... and so on. its dumb that cyprus is the only one that people complain about when there is so many others, that they dont talk about at all. cyprus is geographically part of asia, but europe is defined as a continent by its distinct culture, and cyprus has that distinct european culture

I'd personally say it's more accurate to call it a "theocracy" or maybe a "theocratic monarchy" but I understand where "absolute monarchy" is coming from since the Pope basically has the powers of a monarch within the Vatican.

Aug 19, 2018
qcumber is thinking of a hereditary monarchy and a monarchy may and usually is both but not in this case. an absolute monarcy refers to the power held not the means by which it was gained, specifically where that authority is not restricted by any written laws, legislature, or customs (unlike a constitional monarchy).

i can define/identify myself as the monarch but that doesn’t make me one. especially considering the qualifier ‘absolute’, there should be no question the vatican is a monarchy if you’re going to put it in a question, and it is clearly debateable
TheWombat

Level 74
Jan 25, 2022
An absolute monarchy is simply a monarchy where the monarch holds absolute power, ie not restricted by any other person's or body's power, as in a constitutional monarchy, for example. Vatican City is definitely an absolute monarchy because the Pope's power is unrestricted. No other country in Europe has a monarch with such power, so Vatican City is definitely the only absolute monarchy in Europe. The question is fine.
