King (various countries)

A king is a male monarch who typically serves as the highest-ranking leader of a country or territory, often inheriting the position through royal lineage. His role can vary significantly depending on the country's government structure; in some nations, kings hold significant political power, while in others, they may serve more as ceremonial figures with limited authority. Kings have historically played vital roles in governance, culture, and national identity, symbolizing unity and continuity. Countries with kings include the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand, each with unique traditions and systems of monarchy.
