Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Prince of Monaco absolute, but can be removed at any point?

They got a small parliament with only rightist parties (correct me if I'm wrong on that)

I believe that is correct. Monaco honestly is more French than native Monégasque.

Because in the past there have been parliaments under an absolute monarchy, see England from the 14th century until Cromwell. And back in Anglo Saxon times it was elective under the Witan but once the King was elected he was absolute.

They basically have two knockoff CDUs (one closer to a Laschet faction and the other closer to a Merz faction) and I think those two parties have 22/25 seats don't quote me on that? They have a green party too who picks up the other seats, I think.

Nah, the Conseil National has powers, so it's also a constitutional principality.

False, it was buried in 1960 at Sidney Sussex College, which was Cromwell's Alma Mater. So yes, about 300 years, but not present tense.

That's because Austria and Switzerland like having peace and they don't really like war.

For Austria, see the anschluss. For Switzerland, see Napoleonic Wars.

All nations should just split into thousands of micro states.
