  1. It makes their larp more funny, they are literally just playing pretend

  2.  @dorderre  Their noble house doesn’t legally exist anyway. Obviously they probably wouldn’t consider those men part of their family, but they are just as noble as the others who weren’t adopted

  3. Clearly there is a difference to people between giving a man who was the last of an era a state funeral (which happens to non monarch as well) and having an actual monarchy

  4.  @KingJohnMichael  Most? At best you could say Austria and Germany were. And I admit I know nothing about the situation in Austria, but the German Emperor was definitely also overthrown because the German government feared communist anti-monarchy revolutions. They forced the Emperor to go in direct response to just such a threat in Berlin On top of that, the lack of a monarch is hardly why there was instability. Italy’s monarchy wasn’t immune to Mussolini, and you have absolutely no clue what a potential Wilhelm III would have done had he been faced with the 1929 economic crash and the subsequent rise of extremism (both in nazism and communism).

  5.  @OogaBooga-tq7jc  Yes, it is what Denmark, Norway and Belgium that have direct ties to any modern German town and haven’t completely abandoned the connection (like the Winsdors or even the family Orange-Nassau though theirs is a bit of a border case). There are far far more families larping as nobility without towns that happen to also be the origin of a foreign royal house

  6. You have less influence in choosing an Emperor (none) than in choosing the president

  7.  @Mimi.1001  Initially the position of being Emperor would have been inherently tied to the Roman Empire. But by the 20th century they weren’t larping as romans anymore. (Though the Germans kept it going for a long time)

  8.  @OogaBooga-tq7jc  Maybe, but they aren’t lords of those towns if that is the case. And that is like what, 3 places?

  9.  @ruyfernandez  But you do actually have influence, and I fail to see how going from indirect influence to no influence is a good thing when what you seem to want is more influence. Weird argument

  10.  @katherinegilks3880  Yeah it is better, because then they can’t larp as fake princess anymore Habsburg-Lotharingen is fine as a lastname and it reflects the history of the family well enough. It just doesn’t make them seem like weird pretentious people clinging onto dead titles

  11. Don’t worry the EU parliament isn’t that strong, and single parliamentarians are even more irrelevant

  12.  @kolomaznik333  Commission and the two councils
