The King of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).
It must be kind of fun being the king of all you survey. Not just the title but the real deal monarch able to marry whoever your little heart desires, buy whatever fancy car you like, or build whatever new edifices that royal prestige demands. This is the case with King Mswati.
And, if your subjects prove difficult or critical, there are always the most recent in repressive technologies to be deployed by your constabulary (the Swaziland Royal Police) to keep them in good order.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
