	They're all in alphabetical order except Lesotho.

	Great quiz! I'm surprised no one had thought of this until now. Also, I think you should add the pope, even if just a bonus answer. The pope is a monarch, as the cardinals are the equivalent of princes.

	Kuwait caught me, i spent ages thinking of muslim countries between lesotho and liechtenstein in the alphabet. that should be changed, other than that nice quiz

	Most other Sporcle quizzes only require Saint Vincent.

	For the person that gave me a down arrow - Vatican City is a monarchy. It's the only absolute monarchy left in Europe.

	A monarch who was elected?

	blove121:	Feb 2nd, 2011 at 20:18 GMT	2 points
	Not so much elected as "chosen by God," so, yeah, a (very) traditional monarchy.

	France:	Feb 2nd, 2011 at 21:25 GMT	5 points
	Yes, but isn't the pope elected by the cardinals? I was under the impression that "Royalty" is genetically inherited. The Pope is an elected official.

	I wasn't aware God was casting a vote.

	Quick fix: Yang di-Pertuan Agong is the title of the ruler of Malaysia. The current holder is Mizan Zainal Abidin.

	really good quiz, probably didn't help that I'd had a few to drink - typical student...

	thisisaname:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 16:46 GMT	1 point
	@France: Yes, but so is the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia. If one is on the quiz, both should be.

	The Holy Roman Emperor was often elected as well, and I think we'd all call that royalty. Sometime royalty's a little more complex than primogeniture. Please accept just "Saint Vincent." It's Sporcle standard.

	you should add as a bonus Queen Elizabeth I as the queen of Scotland. Although Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of the UK and England and numerous other places, England's Queen Elizabeth I was never queen in Scotland, and so Queen Elizabeth II is still Queen in Scotland, but by another name (or number). I realize Scotland is not independent, but trivia is usually more fun when you throw a curveball.

	@Hamburger: I'm not sure that's actually true. Obviously there was no Elizabeth I in Scotland, but her official title is Queen Elizabeth II regardless. She has a single title that applies to the entire UK. Apparently the convention is that a new monarch will be given a number that is one more than the highest number their name has had in either Scotland or England. It makes more sense with an example. If there were to be a king James, he would be known as King James VIII even though England has only had two James' compared to Scotland's 7. It just so happens that so far this convention has matched the English numbering since the Act of Union.
