Talk:Crowned republic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Roman Empire in the East (Byzantium) was definetly not considering itself as a Republic - some coins at the time show the Emperor's head with the inscription "King over Kings, Ruling over Rulers".Tourskin 06:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Does North Korea fit the definition of a Crowned Republic? - Okinawa Matt 15:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

It could be - is he (the leader, is his name Kim Jong or somethin?) or does he posses absolute power? The thing is Venice was a crowned republic because it had a King or a noble in charge - same with Rome, where by an Emperor and a King are effectively the same thing. I'm not sure what title Kim Jong has. Party secretary perhaps but u should check out the North Korea page.Tourskin 03:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
