S01:E01 - Japan
The Japanese Imperial family is the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world, dating back to the sixth century BC. Through scandals, to their own biology, it's been a rocky time.
S01:E02 - Bhutan
Bhutan's governing party pledged recently to follow the policies of the absolute monarchy it is replacing, after it won a landslide in the countrys first parliamentary elections. This remote, beautiful country truly is in the throes of a noble experiment. What makes this experiment unique is that this move towards democracy has been initiated by the ruling monarch himself.
