A "monarchy" is a form of government, of which there are 2 types.
A "constitutional monarchy" is a government in which the monarch is a figurehead. He or she performs ceremonial functions, such as state visits and ship christenings. There is a parliament and a prime minister. The parliament is responsible for making the laws and the prime minister executes the law.
In a "true monarchy," the monarch's word is law because the monarch is the state. The Monarch is the equivalent of the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court all rolled into one.

Get the monarchy mug.A small town known for a celebration called Cheese Days that is celebrated every other year. Its also the place where the Swiss Colony was born. Monroe has its fair share of slow driving old people and deuchebag cops. If you are looking for a smaller town to live in that still has a decent amount of stores to go to then this is it. It has a population of about 43,350 and counting. You get over charged for weed in this town so watch out. Monroe occasionally smells like cow poop for some reason. It also has a factory on one side of town that if it were to blow up would destroy half of the town. But other than that its a decent place to live.
