Unitary Absolute Monarchy

A unitary absolute monarchy is a government system where one central authority holds all political power, and a single monarch (king or queen) rules without any significant limits on their authority. In this system, the monarch can create laws, make decisions, and govern without needing approval from elected representatives or a constitution. While the government is centralized, meaning there are not multiple layers of autonomous regions, the ultimate control lies with the monarch, who retains the final say in all matters of state. Examples include countries like Saudi Arabia, where the royal family has significant power.
