Not always for the benefit of the populations, but more so for the benefit of corporations. Anyway, one example of a Monarchy that works very well right now is that of Jordan; a Middle Eastern nation with poor amounts of resources (no oil), and are developing a thriving nation under a King and Queen who happen to be Star Trek fans. |
The 50 or 60 countries of the Commonwealth were granted their freedom as a result of the British Empire borrowing a lot of money from fighting Germany in two prolonged Great wars to end all wars. It took UK 40+ years to repay its debt plus interest owing to the Banks for the costs of World War 2.
