      It’s extremely weird to me that the UK still has the monarchy but it’s extra weird that the most of the former colonies do too...

      All of these countries are still part of the Commonwealth of Nations! Technically the position of Head of the Commonwealth isn't hereditary, but in practice it's the same as the British monarch.

      But each country (most of them anyway) is also a hereditary monarchy in its own right, in personal union.

      Yeah, 16 of them also recognize QEII as their monarch, according to Wikipedia? 5 others have their own monarchs (not QEII) and the others are all republics.

      But my point was more that many of the "former British colonies" continue to consider themselves as having close ties to each other, independent of their former-colony status, and have enshrined that in a bunch of treaties and shit.

      The countries where QE2 is in personal union as monarch also don't have "embassies", as that would imply one head of state contacting the other to send an ambassador - instead, they have "high commissions" with an informal letter sent between the prime ministers.

      When I was a tour guide on Embassy Row this was one of the fun facts I learned (not a really relevant one, since all of the embassies were embassies to the US)

      Along with the fun fact that the country, Vatican City, does not have an embassy It's a bit of complicated rules lawyering but the country, Vatican City, exists only to support the Holy See, which is not a country but a church seat

      Vatican City itself, ironically, has "separation of church and state" because of the treaty that created it in 1929 where the Pope renounced temporal power (hence Paul VI giving up wearing the Papal Tiara)

      Anyway what people call the "embassy of Vatican City" is the "apostolic nuncio of the Holy See" Since time immemorial the title of a diplomat from the Pope has been a "nuncio", who is equivalent to an ambassador in non-Catholic countries and ranks above them in Catholic ones

      This isn't all that fun a fact, but it gives you something to talk about so you don't have to acknowledge the guy who's been picketing said Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy See with a sandwich board saying "THE RCC RAPED ME AS A CHILD" for the past ten years

          *nunciature, rather, the person is the nuncio, the building/institution is a nunciature Also, arguably, a nonciature, but we don't talk about that on the tour

          I looked up the Apostolic Nuncio for Canada and it mentions how apparently he reached out to someone who had indicated the previous Apostolic Nuncio for Canada had molested him.
