Ruled

This dimension names the specific polity, kingdom or territory a historical figure actually ruled. Wikipedia notes that a polity is "a group of people with a collective identity, who are organized by some form of political, institutionalized, social relations," and it is exactly this kind of body that a ruling figure governed. Browsing this way collects every figure who ruled the same polity.
