What is a Kingdom?
A kingdom is a domain ruled by a king or a queen. The normal ruler of a kingdom is a king. So how does a queen comes to power? This happens if the next heir to the throne is a female. Also, sometimes if the king dies, his wife becomes the ruler. So, she gains power as the queen. Even when the king is there the title of queen remains. This can be a reference to the king’s mother or wife. To gain full controlling power of the kingdom, a queen has to be the sole ruler without a king. A kingdom ruled by one king is called a monarchy whereas a kingdom ruled by many kings is called oligarchy. If it is ruled by two kings it is called diarchy. The United Kingdom comprises the England, Scotland and Wales that fall under the direct rule of the monarch (king or queen).
In the older times, a kingdom was created by conquest or the king inherited the right to rule from the family. In the modern day, there are still kingdoms. These kingdoms exist as traditional or constitutional monarchies. For example, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Nepal, and Spain are examples for constitutional monarchies. Constitutional monarchies are the kingdoms where the king or queen is a figure head. They do not participate in decision-making as there is a government to do that. Then, there are traditional monarchies as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, etc. These kingdoms have the old way of ruling. That means these kingdoms are still ruled by kings. There are no governments in these kingdoms.
