Abstract: We discuss aspects of the monopole-vortex complex soliton arising in a hierarchically broken gauge system, $G\ensuremath{\rightarrow}H\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathbb{1}$, in a $\ensuremath{\theta}$ vacuum of the underlying $G$ theory. Here we focus our attention mainly on the simplest such system with $G=SU(2)$ and $H=U(1)$. A consistent picture of the effect of the $\ensuremath{\theta}$ parameter is found both in a macroscopic, dual picture and in a microscopic description of the monopole-vortex complex soliton.
