King
The King is the sole ruler of a town, city, province or country. The position is typically hereditary and passed from family member to family member upon the death or abdication of the current monarch. While the king may share power with a council of advisors, a parliament or congress made up of representatives of the people or another type of shared government structure, he is most often the sole figurehead of the ruling, traditional monarchy.
