I reckon that Farflung has gone to bed, or worse, is out with Queenslander!! so Which south east Asian country has nine royal families, each of whose heads take in turns to be King?
Malaysia. Each of its States has a royal family and they rotate overall kingship. Not sure if this is swapped on a regular basis or when one of them dies.
What a good site that is Beth. I've wasted an hour or so there this afternoon. Really must get back to finishing off my accounts......
Which novel was inspired by the writer having previously translated Les Miserables from French into his own language - and him then wanting to write a sequel to it about his own country ?.
