Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Tsar

Answer: Russia

Tsar is sometimes also spelled as czar or csar. It is derived from the Latin word Caesar which meant Emperor. Apart from the Russian monarchy, this title was also used by the Bulgarian rulers with Simeon I of Bulgaria being the first ruler to adopt it.
2. Pharaoh

Answer: Ancient Egypt

The monarchs of Ancient Egypt were known as pharaohs. The pharaoh was regarded as almost divine and provided a link between the gods and the people. Early kings had up to three titles to denote their earthly position, religious authority and a motto. Later in history, the number of titles went up to five and included their birth names.
3. Archduke

Answer: Austrian Empire

The best known archduchy in history is the Archduchy of Austria which was established by the House of Habsburg. The title of Archduke was initially only used by the ruler. In the 16th century, a law was passed that allowed all members of the dynasty to use the title Archduke.
4. Sultan

Answer: Brunei

The word sultan comes from the Arabic language where it originally meant strength or power and is used only by Muslim countries. The queen is known as sultana. In earlier days, the sultan was outranked by a caliph, if a caliphate existed, as the caliph was also the religious head of the community apart from being the secular ruler.

The king of Brunei is styled as a sultan and the country's national anthem translates to "God Bless the Sultan".
5. Maharajadhiraja

Answer: Nepal

Nepal was a Hindu kingdom from 1768 until the monarchy was abolished and a secular republic formed in 2008. The king of Nepal was known as Mahārājādhirāja which translates to 'king of kings'. The kingdom was established in 1768 by Prithvi Narayan Shah who unified smaller, neighbouring kingdoms into one state and founded the Shah dynasty.
6. Caliph

Answer: Ottoman Empire

The term caliphate is used for an Islamic State and the ruler, the caliph, is not only the king but also considered the religious head of the community. In the present day, there are no caliphates, though the terrorist group ISIS has stated its intention to establish one.

While the Ottoman Empire was established in the 13th century, it designated itself as a caliphate only under the rule of Selim I in the 16th century.
7. Malik

Answer: Jordan

Malik is the term used for king in many Muslim countries with the queen known as Malika. Apart from Jordan, the rulers of Morocco and Bahrain are known as Maliks. At various points in history, the rulers of countries like Egypt, Oman, Iraq and Libya, among others, were also known as Maliks.
8. Kaiser

Answer: Germany

Like the Russian and Bulgarian Tsar, the title Kaiser is also derived from the Roman Caesar. The Holy Roman Emperors were the first to use this title in 962. They also ruled the kingdom of Germany at this time and the use of the title continued in Germany. The term kaiser was also used by a few of the Austro-Hungarian emperors, though it is widely associated with the German Empire.
9. Druk Gyalpo

Answer: Bhutan

In the local Dzongkha language, sometimes also called Bhutanese, the kingdom of Bhutan is known as Drukyul which means "The Land of the Thunder Dragon". Deriving from this, the king of Bhutan is known as Druk Gyalpo or the Dragon King. The people of Bhutan are known as Drukpa which means Dragon people.
10. Huangdi

Answer: China

Huangdi means Emperor and is the imperial title that was used by the former kings of China. The title was first used by Qin Shi Huang who established the unified kingdom of China in 221 BC. He adopted this title to distinguish himself from the former kings of the smaller kingdoms that were consolidated by him into one unified empire.
