Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small European country that operates as an elective monarchy. This means that, rather than being ruled by a hereditary king or queen, the head of state—currently the Grand Duke—is elected from a specific family line, traditionally the Nassau family. The Grand Duke's role is largely ceremonial, with actual governance managed by elected officials. This system allows for a blend of tradition and democratic principles, ensuring that the monarchy remains relevant and respected while allowing the people to have a say in their leadership through parliamentary elections.
