Netherlands. Thailand and Morocco are even worse I guess. There, you'll get punished harshly for beinig openly anti-monarchy. I feel sorry for those countries.

The Dutch monarchy isn't too harsh on lèse-majestè, though I did shift from monarchist to republican almost overnight when our king said that "if you as a civil servant don't like the far-right party PVV ruling, then you should be free to look for work elsewhere."

Well gee it's not that easy for everyone to get accepted in work if you get discriminated, and gee, you need money due to this stupid capitalist system. While all the king does is look pretty and pay less tax... any person in the top 10% of their economy should pay way more.

Thailand's King is something else. Here's a photo of him being picked up for his coronation.

I don't know much about the Netherland's laws other then you can loose or get your driver's license restricted if you're diagnosed with Autism

This is untrue, you can drive if you have autism. However, formally you'd have to undergo an extra "examination" which in practice is a 5 minute talk that'll cost €300, oh and, you have to pay it yourself.

Even driving instructors tell you it's bullshit and won't bat an eye for not doing that.

If you get found out of not having done this examination, and an accident occurs, however, then the police may be an ass. Which is bullshit as there's your medical diagnosis, and autism should by itself not have consequences for driving ability. Dementia however...

Well, I know of at least one person who's choosing not to get diagnosed as a direct result of that policy.
