There are plenty, although most have a ceremonial role rather than political power (a good example is the King of Thailand). The King of Jordan is a proper ruler, though.

Answer 7

Answer 8

there are some in Europe. Norway, I believe; probably one or two others.

Answer 9

Yes there are many, but in Western countries they mostly have little or no power these days. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Britain, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg (a Grand Duke rather than king but still a monarchy) Thailand and Japan are examples of constitutional-monarchies i.e. where the king/queen/emir/sultan has little or no real power but is mostly a national symbol. Executive monarchies with real power include Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Liechtenstein (under a Prince), and Monaco. The king of Nepal was a constitutional monarch who granted democracy but when he was killed, he was succeeded by king Gyanendra who introduced absolutism but was forced to back down because of demonstrations and now the political-parties are debating whether to depose him.
