Monarchies in Asia

Constituent monarchies ===United Arab Emirates===The United Arab Emirates consists of seven emirates that are all ruled by absolute monarchs. The President of the United Arab Emirates is an office held by the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and the office of Prime Minister is held by the Ruler of Dubai. The seven Emirates of the UAE are:* Emirate of Abu Dhabi* Emirate of Ajman* Emirate of Dubai* Emirate of Fujairah* Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah* Emirate of Sharjah* Emirate of Umm al-Quwain====Gallery====Image: Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.jpg|Sheikh Mohamed of Abu DhabiImage: Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum at the World Economic Forum Summit on the Global Agenda 2008 1.jpg|Sheikh Mohammed of DubaiFile: Sheik Qasimi, Sharjah, im Kölner Rathaus-0212.jpg|Sheikh Sultan III of SharjahNote: Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi of Ajman, Saud bin Rashid Al Mu'alla of Umm al-Quwain, Saud bin Saqr Al-Qasimi of Ras al-Khaimah, and Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi of Fujairah are not pictured.===Malaysia===Malaysia, where the ''Yang di-Pertuan Agong'' (Supreme Head of State) is elected to a five-year term. Nine hereditary rulers from the Malay States form a Council of Rulers who will determine the next ''Agong'' via a secret ballot. The position has to date, been ''de facto'' rotated through the State rulers, originally based on seniority. The nine Malay States are the;* Negeri Sembilan* Perlis Indera Kayangan* Sultanate of Selangor* Sultanate of Terengganu* Sultanate of Kedah* Sultanate of Kelantan* Sultanate of Pahang* Sultanate of Johor* Sultanate of PerakThe monarchy of Negeri Sembilan is itself elective.
Other subnational ===India and Pakistan===The British ruled Indian Empire became independent from British rule in 1947 and became the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan and in 1950 India became the Republic of India, in 1956 Pakistan became the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and in 1971 the province of East Pakistan separated from Pakistan to become Bangladesh. Princely states were only in the present-day countries of India and Pakistan, and not Bangladesh. The princely states who were vassal states of the British, had a certain degree of power and autonomy during the British Raj. The princely states had integrated into the newly independent India and Pakistan between 1947 and 1975 (the majority of states ascended into India or Pakistan in 1948) and the former monarchs of the princely states who joined before 1971 in India and before 1972 in Pakistan became titular rulers that received a privy purse and initially retained their statuses, privileges, and autonomy. During this time, the former princely states in India were merged into unions, each of which was headed by a former ruling prince with the title of ''Rajpramukh'' (ruling chief), equivalent to a state governor.In 1956, the position of ''Rajpramukh'' was abolished and the federations dissolved, the former principalities becoming part of Indian states. The states which acceded to Pakistan retained their status until the promulgation of a new constitution in 1956, when most became part of the province of West Pakistan; a few of the former states retained their autonomy until 1969 when they were fully integrated into Pakistan. The Indian Government formally derecognised the princely families in 1971, followed by the Pakistani Government in 1972, in which their titles, autonomy, and privy purses were take away. Presently the rulers of the former princely states are pretenders who carry out ceremonial roles.====List of Princely States==== Name	 Capital	 Salute type	 Existed	 Location/ Successor stateAjaigarh
