Uganda
The Government of Uganda in 1967 legislated recognition of four of Uganda’s Kingdoms in terms which gave those Kingdoms executive authority to govern their regions but retained collective defense and foreign policy to the national Government. Those Kingdoms are Bumyoro-Kitara, Buganda, Toro, and Ankole. Busoga, while technically one of the restored kingdoms of Uganda, is not a formal monarchy. It is more closely established as a cultural institution which promotes popular participation and unity among the people of area, and is run as a Royal Council, with 11 members, five of whom are princes. This is believed to be more in-line with how the kingdom was actually governed, the position of king being created by the British during the period of the protectorate.

United Arab Emirates
The following leaders of the seven Emirates which comprise the UAE each hold the title of Emir, as well as Sheikh. Each Emir holds executive governing authority in his own Emirate, and some Emirates within the Federation — which is led by a President, currently the Emir of Abu Dhabi — maintain significant military establishments (particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi), which are separate from the UAE Armed Forces.
