Current Monarchs (1983: Doomsday)

Many of the world's monarchies were destroyed in the Doomsday event. However, the idea of monarchy remains alive and relevant today. Surviving monarchs in many countries led their nations' rebuilding. In other places, dynasties were founded or restored as part of the process of creating new national identities. Monarchies are most numerous, as they were before the war, in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, although the Caribbean is home to two and a few can be found in southern Africa and in the Pacific. This page lists known monarchs around the world.

Vacant thrones
A few countries have kept a monarchial form of government for constitutional reasons, but have not had an actual monarch for many years due to the lack of a suitable heir.
