Absolute Monarchy

Absolute Monarchy is a form of government where most - if not all - legislative, executive and often judicial powers are vested in the reigning Monarch. Typically, the ruler of an Absolute Monarchy has all the power of the State and the courts, all though some Absolute Monarchies may have some degree of devolution (Feudalism). Despite a Monarch holding absolute de jure power, most Monarchs have only limited power over their nations due to aristocratic influences. Most modern Asbolute Monarchies are infact Constitutional Monarchies, with the Monarch holding little or no de facto power.

Micronationally, true Absolute Monarchies are more common. With many micronations creating a nostalgic representation of medieval European and/or British politics, Absolute Monarchy is a popular form of government for both leaders and citizens. Most Monarchs can fesiably hold absolute power due to a much lower citizenship count and, in many cases, due to the bonus of being the Father of the Nation.
