Louis XIV
Are you an Absolute Monarch?
You got 100% Absolute!
Not only do you control the Nobles with your awesome palace of Versailles, but you control the territory as well. You are not afraid of using force and taking over other territories through war or to use against your own people to stop rebellion such as with the Huguenots. You believe your nobles and subjects are lesser than you, and you control their lives by making them receive favor from you to succeed.
Though you try to keep all the power under your control, you allow others to deal with your finances. Your minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert deals with money to increase the wealth of your country and help your own pocket. Everything you have is luxurious and a huge amount of wealth is spent on your own beliefs and belongings.
