In Brazil, the term 'monarquista' is historically significant as Brazil had an Empire until 1889 and experienced both monarchist and republican movements. In Portugal, monarchism remains culturally relevant due to the country's long monarchical history. In the United States, the term is primarily academic or historical, rarely used in contemporary political discourse, as the nation was founded in opposition to monarchy.
