This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I guess you don't need a king, since sovereign refers to the government, but when it comes to currency, I'd assume "sovereign" is referring to the picture of the ruler on the currency. I don't know many who call their chief executive/head of state a "sovereign", but most would use that to describe a monarch.

Maybe it's just a linguistic holdover from when they did have a monarch!
