哪些國家有鐵血權(quán)力的國王
With the King of Spain recently abdicating and handing the throne over to his son, we thought it be a good time to look in on our world's real life Game Of Thrones. I for one have a bunch of questions. First of all, Spain has a king? Who knew? How many other nations have kings? Ten? Twelve? Nope. WAY MORE! 45 nations have monarchs. 45 nations! But don't get too excited. 16 of those, including the UK, are commonwealth realms like Canada or Australia that recognize Queen Elizabeth The Second as their Monarch,so there actually aren't that many people who could be considered "Kings", or queens,or Emirs, or Sultans...or whatever, we're just going to say "kings" to make this simple. In total,there are 30.
隨著西班牙國王最近退位，將王位傳給他的兒子，我們認為這是討論真實的《權(quán)力的游戲》的好時機。相信許多人和我一樣有許多問題。首先，西班牙竟然有國王？誰知道呢？還有多少國家有國王存在？十個？十二個？不。多的多！45個國家存在君主。45個國家！但是不要太激動了。其中16個，包括英國在內(nèi)，屬于聯(lián)邦王國，比如加拿大和澳大利亞，都認可伊麗莎白二世為他們的君主，所以，被尊為“國王”或王后，或埃米爾，或蘇丹等等的人實際上并沒有那么多，為了簡單一點，我們統(tǒng)稱為“國王”。全世界總共有30位國王。
The vast majority are part of constitutional monarchies, and largely act as ceremonial figureheads. But who cares about those! Where are our real Game Of Thrones style kings?The ones with absolute power and blood rights to the throne? YOU WIN OR YOU DIE!
其中絕大多數(shù)是君主立憲制的一部分，只是傀儡領(lǐng)袖。但是誰在乎這些呢？真正的《權(quán)力的游戲》那樣的國王是怎樣的呢？他們擁有絕對的權(quán)勢和鐵血權(quán)力，不勝則死。
Well, Saudi Arabia's king has almost absolute power. He has to follow Sharia Law, and take advice from a council of other family members.
沙特阿拉伯國王幾乎擁有絕對的權(quán)力。不過他必須遵守伊斯蘭教教法，采納王室其他成員組成的理事會的建議。
Plus, the line of succession doesn't necessarily go from the father to the son. The royal family as a whole can decide to pass over someone if there's a better fit waiting in the wings.
此外，繼承順序不一定是子承父位。王室家族可以集體決定傳位給更適合的繼承人。
The king of Swaziland technically has absolute power, but also has to manage an elaborate parliamentary system, which is partially elected and partially assigned by himself.Plus, there is a co-king of sorts who handles "spiritual" aspects of his reign. But it looks like that person has little to no power.
從理論上講，斯威士蘭國王擁有絕對的權(quán)力，但是也必須管理復(fù)雜的議會體系，部分由選舉產(chǎn)生，部分由國王自己委任。另外，也有聯(lián)合國王的存在，用來處理統(tǒng)治內(nèi)精神層面的問題。但是此人似乎沒有任何權(quán)力。
Bahrain claims to be a constitutional monarchy,but from what we can tell, Bahrain's king has absolute power and is committing a ton of human right's violations. Not cool, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifah. Not Cool.
巴林島宣稱是君主立憲制國家，但是我們可以認定，巴林國王擁有絕對的權(quán)力，犯下許多踐踏人權(quán)的罪行。這一點都不酷。哈馬德·本·伊薩·哈利法一點都不酷。
The United Arab Emirates is led by a Federal Supreme Council of seven Emirs but the Presidency of the council is inherited, and from what we can tell, he has almost absolute power, making them more of a hereditary monarchy in the traditional sense than a council.
阿聯(lián)酋由七位埃米爾組成的聯(lián)邦最高委員會領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，但是總統(tǒng)職位是可以繼承的。這樣我們可以看出，總統(tǒng)擁有絕對的權(quán)力，從傳統(tǒng)的意義上講，這不像是委員會，更像世襲制君主立憲制。
The Sultan of Brunei has absolute power and is a king in the "I rule everything and can do whatever I want" Game of Thrones type of way. So is the Sultan of Oman and the Emir of Qatar. All three nations have parliaments or councils that do some advising, but they are totally controlled by the king. The king has absolute power, and when the King dies his next of kin will take over.
文萊的蘇丹擁有絕對的權(quán)力，就是那種“我統(tǒng)治著一切，我可以隨心所欲”的權(quán)力的游戲中的國王。阿曼的蘇丹和卡塔爾的埃米爾也是如此。這三個國家都有議會或委員會來提供建議，但是完全由國王控制的。國王擁有絕對的權(quán)力。國王死后他的近親將繼承王位。
There is one final King with absolute power...The Pope. He is technically the monarch of Vatican City, which is its own nation. He can by decree do whatever he wants. But when we say Game Of Thrones type king, we don't mean the pope. Plus, the Pope can't even have kids so the heredity thing is out the window.
還有一位國王擁有絕對的權(quán)力，那就是教皇。他是梵蒂岡的君主，那是它自己的國家。他可以按法令做他想做的一切。但是我們說《權(quán)力的游戲》風(fēng)格的國王時，我們說的不是教皇。而且，教皇甚至不能有自己的孩子，所以就不存在繼承的問題了。
