Leighmet wrote: A King is the ruler of one country an Emperor is in charge of many. A king/queen rules a kingdom and emperor/empress rules an empire. Both japan and sweden are countries, but the former was an empire (they are no longer an empire but still have an emperor) and the latter is a kingdom. fun fact emperor's rank higher than kings in royal heirarchy.

So the amount of countries they rule isn't necessarily true, Queen Elizabeth is the head of state for the 4 countries that make up the UK as well as all the commonwealth countries ...
