royal bullshit


(click to enlarge*)

Isn't it a little silly to call something the "Royal Kingdom of..."?—royal of course coming from rex and meaning basically "having to do with a king or queen"?  That is to say, is any kingdom not royal?

I guess it's no sillier than a "People's Republic," but then that's setting the sillybar pretty low.
