My personal candidates are: Russia, Austria, Romania, Poland and Hungary.

Don't forget that monarchies are economically better, cheaper and more stable than republics.


What do you think?

It would be very cool if Romania did, especially if it managed to do so while Michael is still alive. They're running out of time.

But the problem is, succession after Michael. If his daughter or her husband becomes monarch, the Hohenzollern family in Germany will pitch a fit. It could get messy.

Well, Austrians are incredibly anal with their royalty and so republican that you can't even use your "von" or "de" in your name. I don't see them turning to monarchy. Who would the monarch be? I think the whole of Europe has seen enough of the Habsburgs.

Ulrich Habsburg-Lothringen tried to run as President some years ago. In the end he wasn't allowed to participate because of some laws that prohibit members of former ruling families to ever hold political offices. Those laws were overruled by Socialists and Conservatives soon after, so now a Habsburg could actually become President.

He was a member of The Greens, by the way.
