    Additional fun fact: the reigning monarch cannot be charged with any crime. This is because the UK legal system has the crown as the prosecution, and you can’t have the crown vs the crown.

        Actually, England has tried one of their kings before. And this entire crown vs the crown thing was disregarded and the dude lost his head. So… Why is this still a problem? The case law’s there!

    I’m told that Kim Il-Sung arranged it so that senior officials in the DPRK also don’t have to pay 40% inheritance tax.

      Because almost everything is owned by the people, and not an asshole royal family. AFAIK, Kim Il-Sung didn’t even have that many possessions to his name when he died. Neither did Stalin, or Mao, or Castro, etc.
