Monarchies affect people by limiting their power and voice in matters involving society. Monarchies are not as popular today as they were in the 19th Century.
some monarchies today have symbolic or powerless parliaments that the monarch can dissolve or change at will. Countries are considered to be absolute monarchies when the power of their rulers are not restricted under their constitutions.
There are different types of governments in Europe. Some are monarchies, constitutional monarchies, and republics.
The only Absolute Monarchies today are Swaziland, Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the surprising one, Vatican City. I'm not sure about Tonga, where the King still holds a lot of power.
Saudi Arabia

Japan is today a constitutional monarchy, like Great Britain and Sweden. So they have no real power, but they are respected much more then in other monarchies.
As is the case today, there were many different types of government in existence in the 1930s. Examples include democracies, republics, democratic republics, constitutional monarchies, traditional monarchies, and dictatorships.
There are currently three absolute monarchies in the world. They are Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Swaziland.

There are many European countries who have monarchies today, such as the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, etc. Almost all of these are constitutional monarchies, where the monarch is the head of state, but there is also a political body (such as a parliament) where most of the power resides. Vatican City is the only European country to be an absolute monarchy, where the Pope is the absolute monarch. All other European countries, with the exception of Belarus (who is a dictatorship), are republics or representative democracies.
