There are hundreds of monarchies in Africa; that is: either actually or nominally self-governing states, territories, or nations on the continent of Africa where supreme power resides with an individual, who is recognised as the head of state.〔http://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/kings-of-africa-portraits-by-daniel-laine/〕 All are similar in that the sovereign inherits his or her office and usually keeps it until death or abdication. However, only five are sovereign, while the remaining are sub-national monarchies. Of the former, four are constitutional monarchies, wherein the sovereign is bound by laws and customs in the exercise of his or her powers, and one is an absolute monarchy, wherein the sovereign rules without bounds; three of these monarchies are independent states, while the remaining two are dependencies of European monarchies. Those monarchies that are sub-national in nature are not sovereign, and exist within larger political associations. ==Some current monarchies== File:Letsie III.jpg|Letsie III King of Lesotho File:Mohammed VI of Morocco.jpg|Mohammed VI King of Morocco File:King Mswati III 2014.jpg|Mswati III King of Swaziland File:King Asantehene Osei Tutu II of Ashanti (Ashanti region) Asanteman.png|Osei Tutu II King of Ashanti File:Felipe, Prince of Asturias.jpg|Felipe VI King of Spain Image:Elizabeth II greets NASA GSFC employees, May 8, 2007 edit.jpg|Elizabeth II Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Queen Nyayecu ( I ) of Kingdom of Canaan, United Afro States. 2012, Greater Upper Nile. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monarchies in Africa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
