The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Throughout history, there have been many examples of absolute monarchs, with some famous examples including Louis XIV and Frederick the Great.
- The number of absolute monarchies in the world varies but most datasets agree that Brunei, Eswatini, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are absolute monarchies, while others include Bahrain, Bhutan, Jordan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Morocco, Tonga, Vatican City and the United Arab Emirates.
- Though absolute monarchies are sometimes supported by legal documents, they are distinct from constitutional monarchies, in which the authority of the monarch is restricted or balanced by that of other officials, such as a prime minister, as is in the case of the United Kingdom, or the Nordic countries.
