* UsefulNotes/{{Israel}} is the only Jewish state. Aside from being a homeland for the Jews, it traditionally considers itself responsible for protecting them and combating anti-Semitism worldwide. The exact ramifications for this are vague; Israeli leaders often comment on Diaspora affairs, but at times have been accused of presuming to speak for non-Israeli Jews.

** The Elves are all ruled by their King and Queen, though the race has been up along sex lines, with Oberon living with the females and Titania living with the males.

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'':

* ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'':

* ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'': TheHighKing of the Elves is Ingwë, a TimeAbyss who might have been one of the first generation awakened by [[{{God}} Iluvatar]]. Although he's revered by all elves and is ranked above the High Kings of the other elf tribes, he rules from the HomeOfTheGods, and therefore has no active role in Middle-Earth; his influence in ''Literature/TolkiensLegendarium'' is only seen through [[RoyalBlood his descendants]].

If you're confused, you're not alone; this sort of semantic slippery sloping is often [[ThisMeansWar how wars get started.]]

May be the leader of a BarbarianTribe. Also likely to be applied to a MonsterProgenitor. Usually, the MonsterLord not only overlaps with this but is physically different -- possibly [[LargeAndInCharge bigger and tougher]] than the rest of their species. {{Dracula}} is often called "lord of the vampires" in some works, and {{Satan}}, [[MaouTheDemonKing Maou]] or some other [[DemonLord similar entity]] is often the ruler and king of all demons in various works of fiction.

* ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'': The elves, dwarves, and werecats each have a monarch, though the first two are only found in their own lands (the forest of Du Weldenvarden and the Beor Mountains, respectively) and the third is (presumably) nomadic. The elves and dwarves have an ElectiveMonarchy, though in both cases of succession seen on-page the elected monarch was related to the previous one. It's unknown how the werecat king is chosen.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in the episode "April in Quahog". When Peter thinks the end of the world is at hand, he decides to say the "you-know-what-word" in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. However, he returns with a crown, cape, jeweled staff, and sash reading "King of the Black People", as Peter was apparently so respected for doing something so risky that the African-Americans named him their leader.

* {{Defied}} in the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson," in which the Marsh family deals with the fallout after Randy uses the word "nigger" on national television. Trying to make amends, Randy publicly apologizes to the Reverend Jesse Jackson, a black man and prominent figure in national politics, and Stan brings this fact to his black friend Token to try to make everything okay. It doesn't work.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', [[RoyalBlood Amalia and Armand Sheran Sharm]] are the daughter and son of King Oakheart Sheran Sharm and (deceased) Queen Sheran Sharm, who are both rulers of the Sadida Kingdom. The Council of Twelves in Season 2 demonstrate that this applies to all the other races of the World of Twelve, the exception being the two rival cities of Bonta and Brakmar.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': On paper, the [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Warchief of the Horde]] commands the allegiance and obedience of all things orcish on both Azeroth and Draenor. In practice, a weak warchief may find his will subverted by a particularly strong or cunning clan leader, up to the point of being completely usurped.

** In''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/314797/small-scale Small Scale]]'': The immortal Bahamut rules over all dragons like Celestia rulers over all ponies.

* Literature/TheBible refers to UsefulNotes/JesusChrist as "the King of the Jews" in the new testament. This upset both UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire and the official Jewish leadership [[note]]Namely the Pharisees, whose doctrines developed into modern Rabbinic UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}}, while UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} rapidly became its own faith.[[/note]], since Jesus was born a commoner with no actual political authority. In Christian belief, though, his role as TheMessiah and the son of {{God}} more than made up for that.
