Asking if they are good invites politics, homie. I don't want that stuff around here. Sorry. You can talk about the Monarchy of this or that (not recent) time at this-or-that country (Louis XIV, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Napoleon).

Monarchs today have basically no power if you're talking about Europe or Asia (For the most part). Many are just figureheads, but are nice figureheads.
The Japanese monarch is an especially important figurehead, as the monarchy is a physical part of the Shinto religion, I believe. Emperor Meiji's role as a figurehead was a driving force of the start of Japanese nationalism, but unfortunately, this nationalism became extreme, to the point where people were willing to die instead of surrender for their emperor in WWII under Emperor Showa.

Idk what the shortest dynastic lineage in history is, but here are my guesses: -King of the First Mexican Empire -A Chinese Dynasty -King Amadeo of Spain |

The German Empire (Das Kaiserreich) began in 1871 until 1918. Tsardom was longer, but if we include the HRE..... |

I was confused when you said Emperor Showa. For those of you who don't know, Showa is more commonly known as Emperor Hirohito. |

Sui, Qin, or perhaps Later Jin? I have no idea either Googles say Qin But counting those ones in Warring States, 3 kingdoms, 5 dynasties and 10 kingdoms era, Eastern Jin era (when nomadic tribes invaded the north and formed kingdoms of their own), or any other type of civil war "dynasty", Later Jin may be one of the shortest. (As in 11 years) |

I was confused when you said Emperor Showa. For those of you who don't know, Showa is more commonly known as Emperor Hirohito. Yep, I say Showa instead of Hirohito because Hirohito was how he was referred to by people he knew. The Japanese have a kind of confusing way to address their emperors, i'll try to explain it the best I can: They call the current emperor simply "The Emperor", no extra name, no title, just "The Emperor". Once an emperor dies, however, then they give them a new name to address them by. Emperor Mutsuhito was given the name Meiji upon his death, and his successor, Yoshihito, was given the name Taisho. In western history books, however, it is kind of confusing when it refers to certain emperors. While basically all Japanese emperors are referred to by the name they are given following their death, the one exception to this rule is Hirohito. I refer to him as Showa instead so as to continue with the pattern. The current emperor of Japan is Emperor Akihito, who has held the title since January of 1989. |

I actually didn't know like any of that. I just knew his name was Emperor Hirohito due to loads of WWII documentaries I've seen. |

I'm just saying the official Japanese method of naming their emperors. |

Tsar means king, making imperator was europicalization(meaning becoming more Europeans than ******* they were (note even now there are 15-30% of Russian population who can't read or write)
