      Indonesia and the Philippines also used to have kings. European ones, but kings.

      The map of Indonesia is strange. The mapper clearly mentions how local monarchies like in Aceh and Bali were abolished, but fails to mention that in Java, there is still a Sultanate ruling over a Province: the [Yogyakarta Sultanate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogyakarta_Sultanate).

      In fact, the Sultan of Yogyakarta and the Duke of Pakualaman, by virtue of their titles as Sultan and Duke, are automatically granted the positions of Governor and Vice-Governor of the [Special Region of Yogyakarta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Region_of_Yogyakarta). This makes Yogyakarta a recognised monarchy within the Republic of Indonesia.

      Besides them, in the neighbouring city of Surakarta, there is also the Sunanate of Surakarta and the Dukedom of Mangkunegaran. They are mirror images of Yogyakarta, and they used to have their own special region as well, but the special region was abolished. However, the courts and the royal titles still exist.

      The map isn’t wrong for Sri Lanka but the monarchy was abolished twice there, once in 1815 when the British took over, and once in 1972 when the British (properly) left. The one abolished in 1815 was the Kandyan Monarchy. The one abolished in 1972 was the British

      You need to distinct between constitutional and absolute monarchies. Putting japan and saudi arabia in the same bracket is misleading

      this is literally just a cropped repost of a full world map that was posted a few months ago

      It really comes down to how you define monarchy.

      Take a look at Russian Tzar and Putin, maybe they are very different on paper, but in practice, there is not all that much difference.

      North Korea is still a monarchy. But a communist monarchy. Still a monarchy, in fact.

      Before its liberation, Tibet was a theocratic slave society with no monarch.

      A monarchy is not bad in general, in my opinion, it’s more the opposite, it’s good, for countries with a free elected parliament.

      I’m not sure why China is 1916, as the abdication occurred in 1912 alongside the foundation of the initial Republic of China. The emperor was allowed to keep his titles, but he was not a head of state nor a legal representative of the country. There was a brief restoration attempt in 1917 and he would eventually have his titles abolished in 1924, but this map references none of these dates.

      Edit: I was so focused on the Qing I completely forgot about Yuan’s short-lived Empire

      The monarch in our country wasn’t abolished until the 1960s, the last Shan Soepya / Shan-Tai Emirates were forced to give up their power during the time where the socialists took over the country in 1960s

      Why is Tibet shown but not the 33 Shan Soepya confederation that was made up by various Shan Soepya Emirates

      Technically in Myanmar it just got replaced by the British monarchy. So it’s more accurate to say 1948.
