Aug 19, 2005 13:06:30 How many coutries have females as rulers?

The Trolls in the Broken Lands
I think there is a queen in Ierendi, but as queen to a King

Any others that people remember off the tops of your heads? Just a quick query from my players, that I don't have a ready answer to, and half of my gazetteers are in storage at this point.

Thanks,

GW

Aug 19, 2005 14:49:20 Well, female rulers are few, but there are some. Only considering the rulers of autonomous countries and those with a royal or higher title in AC 1000:

Empress Eriadna of Alphatia, Queen of Vertiloch (Alphatia)
Queen Buthra Bofadar of Stoutfellow (Alphatia)
Queen Catriata of Schattenalfheim (Hollow World)
Queen Drulivia of Meriander (Bellissaria)
Queen Eldrethila of Theranderol (Alphatia)
Queen Elshethara of Ambur (Alphatia)
Queen Gratia of Surshield (Bellissaria)
Queen Haa'k Hordar of Trollhattan (Broken Lands)
Queen Junna of Randel (Alphatia)
Queen Kryndylya of Haven (Alphatia)
Queen Llynara of Bettellyn (Alphatia)
Queen Siarion of Lagrius (Bellissaria)
Queen Stillan of Trikelios (Isle of Dawn)

Moreover, the following queens wield a high degree of power - even if they don't rule alone:

Queen Aketheti of Thothia
Queen Marianna of Ierendi
Queen Yazar of High Gobliny
Queen Yrsa of Ostland

And the list is by no means complete. ;)

Then it depends on what you consider a 'country'. Several settlements, provinces and dominions have a female ruler (see Glantri, Karameikos, mainland Thyatis, Norwold, Sind, Isle of Dawn, Savage Coast, etc.).

Great job with the list! To add a few more:

Queen Elenitsa of Lagrius (as of AY 2012)

Rani Drisana Madhar of Jalawar (Sind: rajah/rani is equivalent to king/queen)

Queens with a high degree of influence:
Radiant Princess Tandaleyo (ok, not technically a queen, but much more powerful than most queens by AC 1010)
Queen Stillian (mentioned above re: Trikelios; also Queen of Ierendi for part of AC1011 before returning to Trikelios)
