Abstract

The reigning monarch, named Li-Hi in Chinese, succeeded King Shoal Shing in 1864, and is the twenty-ninth in succession since the founding of the present dynasty in 1392. The Monarchy is hereditary and absolute, modelled on that of China, as is also the penal code. There is an hereditary aristocracy. Internal affairs are administered, under the control of the King, by the Nei Wu Fu, or Home Office, in the six Departments of Civil Affairs, Revenue, Ceremonies, War, Justice, and Works. Foreign Affairs are conducted by the Foreign Office, instituted in 1882, for international questions arising under recent treaties.
