Editing Monarchy (section)

===Monarchies in the Muslim world===
The monarchies of the [[Bahrain|Kingdom of Bahrain]], the [[Brunei|Brunei Darussalam]], the [[Jordan|Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan]], the [[Kuwait|State of Kuwait]], [[Malaysia]], the [[Morocco|Kingdom of Morocco]], the [[Oman|Sultanate of Oman]], the [[Qatar|State of Qatar]], the [[Saudi Arabia|Kingdom of Saudi Arabia]], and the [[United Arab Emirates]] generally retain far more powers than their European or Commonwealth counterparts. Brunei Darussalam, Oman, and Saudi Arabia remain absolute monarchies; Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates are classified as mixed, meaning there are representative bodies of some kind, but the monarch retains most of his powers. Jordan, Malaysia, and Morocco are constitutional monarchies, but their monarchs still retain more substantial powers than European equivalents.
