A government whose chief executive authority is held by or exercised in the name of a reigning monarch with few or no binding constitutional checks from an elected legislature. Belongs here: the Mohammed bin Salman Government, exercising Saudi Arabia's executive authority under the King. Does not belong here: a constitutional monarchy where the monarch is a ceremonial head of state and a separately answerable prime minister or cabinet actually governs; such a government is filed under Parliamentary Governments instead, and the monarchy itself remains describable through the systemofgovernment entity Constitutional Monarchy.
