Memes aside, the Icelandic Commonwealth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_Commonwealth

"The legal system's administration, insofar as it had one, lay in the hands of a parliament of about 40 officers whom historians call, however inadequately, "chieftains." This parliament had no budget and no employees; it met only two weeks per year. In addition to their parliamentary role, chieftains were empowered in their own local districts to appoint judges and to keep the peace; this latter job was handled on an essentially fee-for-service basis. The enforcement of judicial decisions was largely a matter of self-help (hence Iceland's reputation as a land of constant private feuding), but those who lacked the might to enforce their rights could sell their court-decreed claims for compensation to someone more powerful, usually a chieftain; hence even the poor and friendless could not be victimized with impunity. The basis of a chieftain's power within the political order was the power he already possessed outside it, in civil society. The office of chieftaincy was private property, and could be bought or sold; hence chieftaincies tended to track private wealth. But wealth alone was not enough. As economic historian Birgir Solvason notes in his masterful study of the period, "just buying the chieftainship was no guarantee of power"; the mere office by itself was "almost worthless" unless the chieftain could "convince some free-farmers to follow him." Chieftains did not hold authority over territorially-defined districts, but competed for clients with other chieftains from the same geographical area."

The pirate kingdoms in the caribean and north africa

Lichtenstein maybe.
It doesn't exist among other Monarchies now, but it was established as a private micro-state.
Similar social orders would qualify as well in my opinion. Many city states, Kingdoms, and other private landholdings throughout the history of Europe.

>anarcho monarchism
actually laughed
this is a great joke

Why do people get so attached to meaningless labels like "anarcho-", and try to apply them to fucking anything? Is this what the Internet does to people?

My apartment. I live alone, so I can be king and anarchist at the same time.
