    Here's how a descendant of Kaarle I would be had Finland ever kept its monarchy or the Finns wanted their country to be a monarchy.

    Finland's strong desire to be ruled by a monarchy - lasted for a very short period; they could not tolerate incompetence atop the social-order. But at least, they stayed true to the mentality of a serfdom; docile, peaceful, compliant, etc. hIgh-taxes, individual-liberties, voting rights, 'free-healthcare', 'free-education' (they take education very seriously), low-unemployment, low-homelessness, low-crime. Also, a ethnically homogeneous nation. Japan also stands as a useful example - same concepts.
    America on the other hand, everything is opposite in effect, getting opposite results to Finland. Americans rejected the British Monarchy in sum-total. the leader is elected every 4 years! - it should be atleast 5! - do we not count with our fingers in 5's, and 10's? - let's at least try to be consistent - consistency has value...
    some bone-headed 'Supreme Court Judge' even said: "A President is not a King" - as if they didn't fight a war if independence to be free from the British monarchy! the problem exists whereby a social-order-entity cannot be challenged on a regular basis for their crown/'Supreme-ness'. the latter of which you'd find at least in the natural world...whether it is too often: a lion pride (patriarchy/carnivores), or seldom: a family of elephants (matriarchy/herbivores), through time.
    this artificial concept that embraces the 'God-theory' (i.e. you get to stay atop the throne to infinity) is still alive-and-well, it is problematic in the American Judiciary, and incumbent politicians; the answer lies in both qualification (whether by popular vote, or nomination), and being able to challenge the 'top-dog'...for the sake of having better leaders.
    Worst of all, you have all of these ideologies, who's primary basis, is the seizure of power - and the pronouncement of 'Supreme-ness' over the masses.

    Finland was almost always a monarchy, its monarch was the king of Sweden or the emperor of Russia.

      No, that was Sweden and Russia. If Finland didn’t exist, they didn’t have a monarchy.

      It was a monarchy, but it lacked any native monarchs. The same way that New Zealand is a monarchy, but there are no New Zealand monarchs.

      No monarchy is waste of resources best (UK, Scandinavia) and totalitarian dictatorship at worst (pretty much every other monarchy).
