I'm afraid I looked them up. I should have got the Rivendell one since it's given in Boromir's account of his dream.

Glorfindel · 01-23-2015, 09:35 AM

Ok, the correct answers are Tharkún and Imladris.

doubleshuffle · 01-23-2015, 01:30 PM

Hey, you gave my half point!! Thanks so much!!! I win the Bronze Medal!!!!!

pdurrant · 01-23-2015, 02:33 PM

OK, which countries (and by country, I mean a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right) are still (or are once more) Monarchies?

One point for the name of a monarchy. Two points for correctly naming the monarch as of 1st January 2015.

Off you go!

HomeInMyShoes · 01-23-2015, 02:55 PM

Well Canada is technically still a monarchy and its Queen Elizabeth II.

I'll guess that Australia is in the same boat as well with Queen Elizabeth II.
Spain is, but I have no idea who is currently the monarch.

Bilbo1967 · 01-23-2015, 02:59 PM

Saudi Arabia: King Abdullah

I think you're a bit late. The new guy has a different name.

Spain is Felipe, I think...
Denmark. Margaret?
Sweden. Gustav?
UK. Old Lizzie.
Netherlands. Don't know his proper name. His nickname used to be Prince Pilsje IIRC.
