Tonga was part of the British Empire and is now a member of [[UsefulNotes/TheCommonwealthOfNations Commonwealth]], but it always recognized the king or queen of Tonga as the actual monarch. This, combined with the fact it wasn't colonized, are considered its [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment Of Awesome]], and Tongans are very proud of it. Despite this, the monarchy of Tonga has developed into a more controversial institution in the twenty-first century. Riots in 2006 highlighted a frustration at the lack of democratic reform and even today a third of the legislative assembly is appointed by the king and the small noble class. Political activist ʻAkilisi Pōhiva was the main figurehead of the pro-democracy movement. His decades-long struggle with the Tongan monarchy led to several imprisonments and culminated in his eventual ascension to the office of prime minister (the first to hold the position through an electoral mandate instead of being appointed by the king or being the favored candidate of the nobles in the legislative assembly), an office he held until his death in 2019. Although the monarchy and the nobles are still reluctant to let go of their power, they are no longer in undisputed control.
