So beautiful!

Canada is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. So gorgeous!

This is honestly a very good question. The US has no official religion, and yet it’s more of a theocracy than the UK in practice. I believe it has more to do with actual practice than anything else. A “pure theocracy” basically says that the monarch is divinely selected. In a way, this used to be the thinking in many parts of the UK, although I don’t believe it has ever been known as a theocracy. The UK now has religious freedom, and as far as I know, there are very few religious laws handed down from the monarchy. So you could argue it’s a theocracy by a literal definition, but not in practice. Being head of the Church of England is primarily a handed-down tradition, with very little power over religion overall.

All of them do have last names available, but they are rarely used. For example, the current royal family would use Mountbatten-Windsor.

It’s possible, but highly unlikely and with no actual evidence.

I’ve studied runes, but even those who didn’t would be able to tell this is fake. Lol.

Not just tourism. Unfortunately these hoaxes often have ties to white supremacists wanting to validate their Nordic obsession. The history of academics purposely spreading myths about Norse visitors to the continental states (before the L’Anse aux Meadows discovery) is fairly dark.
