There are many things wrong with this, but weren't literally all of the "Never" countries absolute monarchies at some point?
Also unsurprising but still funny how every single Soviet state within the Soviet Union is ruled a dictatorship despite having been far more democratic than any of the countries listed outside it.
orban is apparently not a "dictator" (this contradicts standard EU opinion and also reality) wat.
they are still monarchies to this day, and they aren't just ceremonial despite beliefs of that. They still have institutional power, veto powers and political tools.
I don't think Switzerland ever was.
If you really wanted to split hairs you could go back to the Helvetii tribes and say they were dictatorial with the fast and loose way they use the term. It doesn't matter though because this is all a waste of time and OOP has rocks for brains.
The Helvetic Republic era was the closest
Finland has not been a monarchy since the Russian revolutions, and prior to that they had foreign monarchs. There has literally never been a Finnish king. (Unless we count Frederick Charles, and we shouldn't)
They did ally with the Nazis tho and killed a ton of their own civilians.
Yes. But that's still not a king.
Those weren't concentration camps, those were internment camps.
Yes
