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.

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 ?.
 
I may have misled by describing it as a sequel - it was meant as an equivalent to Hugo's work but based on characters and scenes from his homeland - Les Miserables was his inspiration for this.
