Get a glimpse into one of the few real remaining monarchies in the world, Swaziland, here. Swaziland, not Switzerland, is a little round country that is nestled snugly between the Northeast of South Africa and Mozambique. The article nicely describes this country ruled by a king and a charming little place that is actually a bit better off than much of South Africa, especially crime-wise, but it also has the highest AIDS rate in the world. It's also a place where media and political freedoms are seriously curtailed and there have been protests and detention of opposition figures in past months. As people become more modernized and economic problems become more pronounced, the monarchy will need to modernize and one wonders how long it can last.
