	Do we think this would be better if the countries were the questions and the monarchs were the answers or does it work well the way it is?

	It's good the way it is. The Arabic ones are basically impossible unless you randomly know them all for some reason.

	Thanks for the feedback. Yeah the Arabic ones are really tricky and the Malaysian one sounds somewhat Arabic as well.

	Good quiz. I was surprised that EMIR Sabah didn't rule the United Arab EMIRates.

	Pope is actually not a monarch. As far as I know, all the members of the Vatican are elected officials, even if for life. The sources doesn't have Vatican City as a monarchy anyway.

	Please put The Netherlands as an N as it is always on Sporcle.

	Sheikh Khalifa is the reigning monarch (emir) of Abu Dhabi, not of the UAE (of which he is president).

	Netherlands has been changed. The Pope is described by this source http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/economies/Europe/Vatican-City-POLITICS-GOVERNMENT-AND-TAXATION.html as 'monarchical'. Indeed, the status the Pope holds is one of absolute power and indeed many other features of popehood reflect those of other European Monarchies (such as being referred to by one name then a number: Benedictus XVI and being given a formal coronation).

	After looking at the official website of the UAE government I agree that Sheikh Khalifa does not appear to have a monarchical position over the UAE as a whole so I have put 'Abu Dhabi' in parentheses.

	@21forever:Monarchies do not have to be hereditary. Neither of the co-princes of Andorra are hereditary - one is appointed, the other elected (although by the populace of another country!) Historically, a number of European monarchies have been elective, the Holy Roman Emperor being the most well known. Others include anglo-saxon England, Hawaii,etc.

	Morocco is misspelled.

	@buffandblue: I am genuinely embarrassed that I misspelled Morocco. Thanks for pointing it out!
