	It's interesting that people so often say that monarchies are outmoded and old-fashioned yet most of these nations rank very highly in terms of wealth, GDP and human-development indices. Not that I'm saying this is a definite correlation but still interesting!

	I'm not so sure there'a a correlation in the European case either, and the situation outside Europe is even less clear given that the list of constitutional monarchies includes: Bahrain, Bhutan, Cambodia, Jordan, Kuwait, Lesotho, Malaysia, Morocco, Swaziland, and Thailand.

	I don't think there's a correlation either. There are many republics that are equally or more developed than some of these nations. This is because a constitutional monarchy that holds no power and a republic are both essentially totally democratic governments. It is between the level of democracy and development where the correlation lies

	Also, this quiz needs to accept "UK" for United Kingdom

	Monaco and Liechtenstein are not really true constitutional monarchies. The monarch still has considerable political authority in both those countries.

	Techwork - I'd say that the causation is probably reversed on this. Countries that have done well economically are also typically politically stable, so they are the ones where monarchies survived.

	For consistency within Sporcle it should accept UK but I find it quite surprising how many people (presumably) have tried UK and failed to try United Kingdom.

	@johnlk I like your theory! Probably correct!
