Financial empires have no emporers.

Why don't we just share the hill?


The reason is simple the unpredictable course of history. It was first proposed to George III that he take the title of Emperor upon the union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. However, he rejected this title.

Then in 1876 Victoria assumed the title of Empress of India, which had previously been the title used by the Mughal Emperor (as the Padishah). This title held until the 1947 independence of India and Pakistan. George VI and Elizabeth (later Queen Mother) were the last Emperor and Empress to hold that title.

Under the Commonwealth, the member states are assumed to be equal and so there is no Emperor. Elizabeth is legally the Head of the Commonwealth.


Googled it for you.

It had a monarchy. The monarch doesn't need to take the title of "Emperor".

Remember kids: when Uncle Delta tells you he has sweeties, he isn't lying.

Now get in the van.


The Black Chapter

India, for example, had Queen Victoria as its 'Empress'.
Monarch in Britain, Empress elsewhere

ah you see it was in production but when Blair came to power he canceled it, such a spoiled sport.

I heard that Brown tried to restart the project but they'd sold the parts to gadaffi already.

Also this. Having a monarch makes it an empire or a realm.
