I can write on a piece of paper, right now, that I have supreme power over the state. That doesn't actually make it so.

Most of the powers the monarchs in Scandinavia supposedly have can't actually be enforced in reality, so they really don't have as much power as you seem to think.

On the opposite end, is North Korea a democracy just because it says so in their constitution?
