Kingdom, principality, co-principality and elective office. Europe contains more models than a crown might suggest.

Beata’s illustration for: Twelve monarchies, many ways to reign
AI illustration from Beata’s album. A fictional scene.

The European part of the atlas covers twelve contemporary monarchies: Belgium, Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom, alongside Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco and Vatican City. Poland is a separate historical subject. Japan and Korea extend the atlas beyond Europe; they do not increase the count of contemporary European monarchies.

A crown does not explain a constitution. Article 1 of Andorra’s constitution defines a parliamentary co-principality. Article 43 links its joint headship of state to the Bishop of Urgell and the President of the French Republic. This joins two offices rather than forming one hereditary dynasty.

Vatican City requires different terms. Its official website describes an absolute monarchy, and the Fundamental Law of 31 July 2026 assigns the sovereign full legislative, executive and judicial authority. The state must also be distinguished from the Holy See’s wider institutions.

Begin comparisons with three separate questions: how the office is filled, which acts the constitution permits, and who carries them out. A family tree answers only part of that enquiry.

Editorial notes2026-10-30
