Tonga is the only monarchy.

Tonga is the only island country in the South Pacific that still maintains a monarchy. The history of this country can be traced back to more than 3000 years ago. The Kingdom of Tonga was founded more than 1000 years ago. After that, the rulers of this kingdom changed several times, and it was not until 1845 that the first king of the present kingdom of Tonga was produced.

The Kingdom of Tonga is composed of several islands, and a constitutional monarchy was implemented in 1875. 1900, Tonga became a British protectorate. During World War II, the United States and New Zealand also established military supply bases in Tonga. 1970, Tonga became independent, became a member of the Commonwealth, and became the188th Member of the United Nations.

On July 29th, 2008, King Tupou V of Tonga gave up his royal power, saying that he would hand over power to the National Assembly, and let the whole country move towards democracy. But Tonga still retains the constitutional monarchy, which is somewhat similar to the situation in Britain.
