The King

The King of Sweden celebrates his name day today. This is why it is a flag flying day. The name is Karl, as in Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and originally for Carl the Great, a.k.a. Charlemagne. 

Real countries have monarchs, as Emperor Charlemagne or Naruhito, or King Carl XVI Gustaf or Queen Elisabeth II. 

Long live King Carl XVI Gustaf!
