It's already 14 eyes, and it'll be 195 eyes by then


194. That one country will not be invited.


*rolls the random number generator* What has Senegal done?


Ask me in 10 years. If I call it now it will make the prophecy fullfil itself even earlier.


It's one Monarch, but many eyes. All information flows to the Crown.


That one monarch is not a person or organization of people. It's an aggregation of all the loosely connected ones, competing on some things, coordinated on others, but you, the end user are never the beneficiary. That, my old school human friend, is the one commandment no one challenges. With all those players locked into a Nash equilibrium, no one can do anything about this, while all humans complain that things are not the way they should be.


The constitutional monarchies respect each others' land ownership and colonies, but in terms of actual power the British Crown dwarfs everything, especially if one correctly recognizes the USA as their vassal state.

Outside of this there are few strongmen-led states of non-royal blood, of which China is the most important one.

And then there is Switzerland, which is part of the democratically-pacified buffer zone around Liechtenstein ;)

Let's hope the people at the top don't become too crazy.


This is conspiracy theory territory. The USA is not a vassal state of the crown in any way at all.

I just note that one of the few people to face fallout from the Epstein scandal is Prince Andrew, because he's not inside the US unaccountability protection field.


The British crown is powerless apart from their money. The USA is a vassal state of Israel, not Britain.
