I just realized that no one really reports on the Japanese royalty. How do Japanese people feel about their royal family? Do they feel love for them like the UK, or mainly British people do? From my vague knowledge I know that Japanese people have a liking to the royal family, I just don’t know to what extent. On that same topic, I wonder how many countries still have royal families that live royally.

It’s a region, dividied into four main subregions (the north, south, east, and west farthings) and one territory (Buckland) and containing several a number of cities and/or villages (Hobbiton being the most famous; others include Michel Delving, Bywater, Tuckborough, Buckleberry, Woodhall, Hardbottle, Crickhollow) as well as a good bit of countryside.
