Hereditary monarchy

This dimension sorts polities by their form of government, a monarchy, a republic, an empire or a confederation. Wikipedia notes that a polity is "the unit or entity of a political community or body politic," a body that always organizes itself under one particular form of government. Browsing by government type keeps polities governed the same way grouped together.
