Emperor

An emperor is a ruler who holds a high level of authority over an extensive territory, often encompassing multiple nations or regions. Historically, emperors have governed through centralized power, symbolizing unity and sovereignty of their empire. Their role may blend political leadership with ceremonial duties, and their influence is typically inherited or established through conquest. Unlike kings, whose domains are usually smaller, emperors often preside over vast, diverse populations, shaping the history, culture, and development of their empires.
