There are currently 46. Until the new constitution in *Nepal is ratified (deposing the monarchy), I am counting it.!  I am also counting **Samoa as an elective monarchy for traditional reasons.

Here is the breakdown in type:

---2 elected monarchies: Andorra, and Vatican

Answer 3

TOO MANY.

This country should have an ELECTED head of state.

Answer 4

Europe, Japan

Answer 5

Interesting question as I'd never thought of it before. I know one you missed is Thailand. I only know that because their king is the longest serving monarch in history. As for the others, you may want to have a look at this.
