Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Vatican City.

Most are constitutional monarchies with ceremonial heads of state, whilst Andorra, Liechtenstein, and Monaco are principalities and the Vatican is an absolute elective monarchy.

The co-princes of Andorra are jointly the heads of state. The co-princes are the bishop of Urgell and the president of France.
