Answer 2

What do you mean by "ruled?" There are several Asian and European countries that still have monarchs, but I don't think any of them do anything besides pretend to be important.  The parliaments in those countries are responsible for running the government.

Answer 3

Modern day monarchy countries:

The United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) - Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom

Most modern day monarchs do not "rule" their country with unlimited powers. They only act as "Head of State" in each of their own nations, with very limited powers. One of the most important roles of the modern head of state is being a living national symbol of the state; in monarchies this extends to the sovereign being a symbol of the unbroken continuity of the state.

In many countries, official portraits of the head of state can be found in government offices, courts of law, even airports, libraries, and other public buildings. The idea, sometimes regulated by law, is to use these portraits to make the public aware of the symbolic connection to the government, a practice that dates back to medieval times.

Answer 8

No European country is ruled by a king or queen, although some have them in the government.  Off the top of my head, I can't think of which ones, but there are a couple of countries in Southeast Asia that are.  (Japan isn't, they just have an Emperor figurehead like most of Europe's monarchs)
