That be the country where the king records a "happy psychopath"-style videos where he talks with his subjects over video calls on a smartphone. Everything clean, bright smiles, the subjects' selection is properly racially diverse. And you can just feel how with everything so perfect something is wrong, like - why that session of short video calls of the monarch with random (but very proportionally selected and similarly clothed in style) people even happens? What is it intended to show, that the king has empathy for every person? Were I a citizen of Belgium, I'd prefer the king to not care and tend to his garden instead. This feels so glowing and fake that one can't help thoughts like "what if the king actually eats children for breakfast".
Also he killed someone while drunk driving in the ardennes.
Things like that have never disqualified kings, though
The german king? He have nothing to do with us. We're a monarchy because the brits wanted the germans to stop invading the french or something so she picked one of her cousin
To show the Netherlands their place and to not have Wallonia part of France at the same time, rather. And the Catholic-Protestant problem was real.
Well yeah these idiots refused to buy indulgences. You can't have a country with heretics
