But under what type of government? Monarchical, dictatorial, republican, no central government, what? It doesn't. It doesn't imply any form of government, it only implies that many states are working together.
Monarchy isn't a single form of government, therefore the United Kingdom isn't a title.
A monarchy is a form of government in which all political power is absolutely or nominally lodged with an individual or individuals. As a political entity, the monarch is the head of state, generally until their death or abdication, and "is wholly set apart from all other members of the state."[1] The person who heads a monarchy is called a monarch. It was a common form of government in the world during ancient and medieval times.
