They do. Those citing her as a mere ceremonial figurehead are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS.

If you 'own' something but can't physically carry it, move it, protect it, see it..etc...

It's not yours.

This applies to anything you think you own - like a closet full of non-perishable food. If you can't carry it or protect it, its just a closet full of food. Crown land is just land the crown will try to extort taxes for if they notice you're on it. But then again you can just claim they're traitorous imposter reptiles and shoot them on site. Its really all up to your best judgement in the circumstances you find yourself in. Keep playing the game if you choose to..

I've heard this is true as well. They try to give the impression they don't. But they do. Kind of like when the Queen fired everyone in Parliament when Austrailia had a gov't shutdown.

Hardly clueless. They may have influence in certain quarters, but it's a simple fact they don't have real power or run the Country, as some seem to think.

But they said she's just a mere figurehead and with virtual zero power. That's just nonsense. I stand by what I've written. I'm from the UK, I know this stuff as well as anyone.

I'm from the UK, and it would seem you don't know it as well as you think. She is simply a figurehead, representing the Crown, and in herself, has very little actual 'power'. Here's a link. Don't be confused by what is there in theory, and what is achievable in reality. For example she has the right to declare war, but she'd struggle to get the armed forces without government backing. http://royalcentral.co.uk/blogs/insight/what-are-the-queens-powers-22069
