    The King was stripped of power after the American Revolution in the Madness of King George. I think they sent the old bitch into a puzzle factory at some point. I hear he pissed blue sometimes too, he had something real going on medically.

    So 3 centuries of republican rule in truth. Plus the English wrested more power from their monarchy than the others with the Magna Carta and all.

        Who says Australia isn’t a republic? Both the UK and Australia are degenerated but still republics, nominally. In truth they both crossed over to oligarchy just after 2021 I would argue. Still republics though.
