Crowned Republic

A Crowned Republic is a form of government that blends elements of a hereditary monarchy and a republican system. In this structure, a monarch—often a king or queen—holds a ceremonial role and symbolizes national unity, while actual political power resides with elected officials or institutions representing the people's will. This creates a system where the monarchy coexists with democratic principles, allowing for a balance between tradition and modern governance. The monarch’s authority is largely symbolic, and the government remains accountable to the citizens. Examples include countries like Sweden and Norway, where monarchs exist alongside parliamentary democracies.
