Indonesia
Present information regarding governmental recognition of traditional monarchs in Indonesia is inadequate. In some instances below, pre-colonial polities have been officially restored, and the royal titles of their leaders have been nominally confirmed. In other cases, the government has refused to revive monarchies that were previously abolished during the earliest years of the republic. Despite the historical suppression of these dynasties, a large number have retained their culture, identity, and their status within their own communities. Royal titles are still widely used, bestowed in formal enthronement ceremonies conducted without formal recognition from Jakarta.
In recent years, the number of dynasties receiving recognition as nominal cultural authorities has steadily increased. However, because it remains unclear as to which monarchies have not yet been recognised, the list below will contain all extant Indonesian dynasties on which there is information available. Monarchs that have explicitly been denied recognition are listed under pretenders. The Sultan of Yogyakarta is listed separately due to the constitutional nature of his title.

Cook Islands
Each major atoll in the Cook Islands has a certain number of arikis, ceremonial high chiefs who together form the Are Ariki, a parliamentary advisory body with up to 24 seats. The only domains not listed below are those of Manuae, on which current information is inadequate, and Penrhyn, whose chiefly line is extinct. Styles and names are listed in their conventional local form. In addition to the generic title of ariki, which is worn at the end of one's name, each chiefly line carries its own unique style, which is placed at the beginning. Thus, if the chief's name is "Henry" and his title is "Ngamaru", then he is styled as "Ngamaru Henry Ariki".

In Fiji, which became a colony of Great Britain in 1874, the British monarchs were historically bestowed the title Tui Viti, which translates as "King of Fiji" or "Paramount Chief of Fiji". The last holder of the title (from 6 February 1952) was Queen Elizabeth II, of the House of Windsor. The state became a republic in 1987, abolishing the title by establishing a new constitution. The Great Council of Chiefs, however, still recognises Elizabeth II as Tui Viti, as the nation's traditional queen and its supreme tribal chief, despite no longer holding a constitutional office. Consequently, while Fiji remains a republic, a monarch or paramount chief is still recognised by traditional tribal politics. The Queen herself has made no official claim to the Tui Viti throne, although she has remained open to the possibility of a constitutional restoration of the monarcy.
Native chiefs in Fiji are considered members of the nobility. The House of Chiefs, consisting of about 70 chiefs of various rank determined by a loosely defined order of precedence, was modelled after the British House of Lords. Tongan chiefs, subordinate to a king, are also considered nobles and have therefore been excluded from the above list.
In Eastern or American Samoa, there are currently twelve paramount chiefs, but they are all traditionally subordinate to the Tu'i Manu'a, a title that is now considered purely historical; the last titleholder, Elisala, died 2 July 1909. The paramount chiefly titles are: on Tutuila, Faumuina, Lei'ato, Letuli, Fuimaono, Tuitele, Satele, Mauga, and in the Manu'a Islands, Lefiti, Sotoa, Tufele, Misa and Tuiolosega.
Notes
Africa
- Date of coronation. The Ker Kwaro Acholi chieftaincy was recognised by the government on 17 January 2005. He has been the chief of the Payira clan since 1999.
- The tribal confederation of the Alur is historically comprised of 56 chiefdoms under the rwoth obima (paramount chief). At present, six chiefs have rejected the obima's authority, and have formed a separate body, the Association of Alur Traditional Chiefs, which remains unrecognised by the government of Uganda. The six chiefs are: Onesimo Otober of Amor, Omua Okongo Ceru II of Paidha, John Ombidi II of Panyimur, Dominic Omac of Paroketo, Michael Mandir of Puvungu, and Owacho Ali of Ragem. Some reports suggest that the number of breakaway chiefdoms has grown to thirteen.
- Formally enthroned on 19 May 2006.
- Ankole, historically referred to as Nkore, was nominally revived as a traditional kingdom with the coronation of Rutashijuka Ntare IV in November 1993. It has remained unrecognised by the Ugandan government, however, and the coronation was declared illegitimate and void by the country's president. The current king has reigned in pretendence since the death of his predecessor in April 1979.
- Muwenda Mutebi succeeded as head of the royal household upon the death of his father on 21 November 1969. He was formally invested as Ssabataka (head of the royal clans and chief landowner) on 4 April 1971. He was officially proclaimed as kabaka upon the restoration of the kingdom, 24 July 1993. His coronation took place 31 July 1993. He has also assumed the additional name of "Kimera".
- Muwenda Mutebi succeeded as head of the royal household upon the death of his father in 1971. He was officially proclaimed as omukama upon the restoration of the kingdom, 24 July 1993. His coronation took place 11 June 1994.
- Busoga is a traditional confederation comprised of eleven clan domains. There are five royal clans (Bugabula, Bukono, Bulamogi, Kigulu, and Luuka) and six traditional chiefdoms (Bugweri, Bukooli, Bunya, Bunyole, Busiki, and Butembe). The royal clans form the five royal families of the Basoga. Each of the hereditary chiefs and princes of the confederation are listed in a separate section in the table.
- The previous kyabazinga, Henry Wako Muloki of Bulamogi, died on 1 September 2008. His son, Edward Columbus Wambuzi, was announced as his successor following contentious elections on 31 October 2008. However, five of the eleven royal chiefs denounced the new king, instead endorsing William Nadiope IV, of Bugabula. The Ugandan government advised the parties to hold another election, and an interim order was served to Wambuzi in May 2009 restraining him from holding office. On 7 June 2009, however, Wambuzi was installed on the throne amidst protests from other chiefs. He also secured a court order blocking the planned re-elections. These took place in secret on 5 October 2009, when Nadiope IV was elected unopposed. The High Court is to start hearing the cases in November 2010, but the clan heads have vowed to install Nadiope IV on the throne before September, despite the standing judicial injunctions blocking the enthronement of either contender.
- The kyabazinga is elected for life by the Royal Council, comprised of the eleven hereditary chiefs of the kingdom. Selection is limited to members of the five royal clans of the Basoga.
- ^ The throne is traditionally supposed to rotate among the numerous clans. It is not clear as to which of the clans the current leader belongs.
- A clan of the Kebu people. The current chief belongs to the Waringu family.
- The kamuswaga belongs to the Ndawula Lwabulanga lineage of the Babito clan.
- Elected to the throne by clan leaders on 17 August 2001.
- Elected to the throne by clan leaders on 19 September 1998.
- The current king, Charles Mumbere, was first proclaimed as "Kibanzanga II" on 19 October 1966. He reigned as a minor, in pretendence, under a regency council until 1972, when he took the regnal name "Irema-Ngoma I". His kingdom was officially abolished by the Ugandan government on 8 September 1967, but effectively continued in armed opposition until 15 August 1982, when the king's forces surrendered and Mumbere was officially appointed as "chief elder" of the district. Rwenzururu was officially restored by the government as a traditional kingdom on 17 March 2008, and recognition was confirmed by the President at the king's coronation anniversary on 19 October 2009.
- A clan of the Bakonzo.
- Iguru Rukidi succeeded as omukama upon the death of his father in August 1995. He was crowned on 12 September 1996. Until 17 April 2010, he had officially reigned as a minor under a regency council.
America
- The most recent (since 31 May 1998) king, Tito, was deposed by a vote of no confidence in the Leadership Council, and was replaced (on 30 May 2004) by Valentín. The former, who is no longer in office, has disputed the legality of the deposition, and still claims the title. The new king has not yet been recognised by the government of Panama.
- Succession is determined by the vote of the general adult population. An election for a new monarch may take place upon any occasion in which an eligible member of the royal family wishes to be considered. Until recently, the traditional law of succession followed a pattern similar to the rota system.

Philippines
- The kingdom of Lanao, or Ranao, is traditionally a federation composed of sixteen primary sultanates. Each sultanate, headed by an hereditary royal house, represents a different clan of the Maranaos. In addition to the primary sultanates, there are a further twenty-eight lesser (termed "legislative") sultanates, which are the guardians of the Maranao taritib (tradition). The federation is headed by a supreme sultan, chosen from amongst the royal lineages of the lesser sultanates. The sixteen primary sultans are also listed above; the others are not. This customary system of traditional society is recognised by the government of the Philippines.
- A Maranao dynasty. The current sultan belongs principally to the House of Dayawan. He also descends from the houses of Bayang, Buayan, Guimba, Marawi, and Marantao.
- The throne of Maguindanao has been officially vacant since the assassination of the last sultan, Amir bin Muhammad Baraguir, in early 2006. His eldest son, Ammar Yassir, is presently prince regent and head of the royal household.
- The throne of the Sultan of Sulu is currently disputed between two members of the Kiram family. The present sultan recognised by the government of the Philippines is Jamalul Kiram III. He was proclaimed upon the death of his father in 1984, and was formally crowned in Jolo on 15 June 1986. He had previously served as prince regent during part of his father's reign, between 1974 and 1981. Since his enthronement, he has settled in Manila. Consequently, he has been replaced by his younger brother Esmail Kiram II, who was proclaimed sultan upon the recommendation of the sultanate's traditional council. Esmail was crowned on 12 March 2001. However, he has not been recognised by the Philippine government, which continues to recognise and consult with Jamal. To further complicate the matter, Esmail is seemingly recognised by the provincial government in Jolo. There are a number of other claimants to the throne from other branches of the dynasty; these are listed under pretenders.
- A branch of the House of Sulu. The royal family of Sulu is a Tausūg dynasty.
- ^ A clan of the Maranaos.
Indonesia
- Formally installed on 7 March 1989.
- ^ A branch of the Kartasura dynasty.
- While state law requires that all provincial governors be elected, in the case of Yogyakarta, the sultan is given priority during elections, and therefore is always the default governor. In addition, the reigning Pakualam (see under Java) is normally given preference when selecting the vice-governor. As in other provinces, considerable administrative power is also ceded to the central government.
- ^ A branch of the Gelgel dynasty.
- ^ The rajas of Denpasar and Pamecutan, two dynastical divisions of the formerly unified kingdom of Badung, both use the hereditary regnal name "Pemecutan". Ngurah Jambe of Denpasar is formally referred to as Pemecutan IX, while Ngurah Manik of Pamecutan is known as Pemecutan XI. The numerical appendages are not interconnected.
- ^ A branch of the Badung dynasty.
- The previous head of the royal family and the last recognised king of Ubud, Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, died in 1978. His eldest son, Gde Putra, is the present head of the family. He has not yet been installed as king, however, and instead presently serves as prince regent.

- This domain covers the islands of Ailuk, Aur, Maloelap, Taongi, Utirik and Wotje in the Ratak Chain. Its ruling clan has also laid claim to nearby Wake Island, under the name Eneen-Kio.
- This chief is normally referred to as the Isipahu.

- ^ Chiefs are selected by the seniormost women of the ruling clan.
- There are four paramount chiefs in Western Samoa, each presiding over a royal lineage (Tama a ‘Āiga) of past kings. Chiefs in Samoa are afforded a considerable degree of power. The national parliament, the Fono, is comprised exclusively of chiefly titleholders (matai). The office of head of state (the O le Ao o le Malo) is traditionally reserved for the paramount chiefs, although this is not required by the Constitution.

- The throne of the Mālietoa has been vacant since 2007. The current claimant, Papali'i Fa'amausili Moli, succeeded to the throne as "Moli II" in a bestowal ceremony on 29 June 2007. However, an interim order in the High Court (dated 27 September 2007) prevents his use of the title under any circumstance. The interim was demanded by senior representatives from the Talavou and Natuitasina branches of the clan, who were allegedly not consulted to nominate the new titleholder. The holder of this title also wears the chiefly title of Susuga.
- The lineage associated with this title consists of three branches: Sa Moli, Sa Talavou and Sa Natuitasina (also spelled Gatuitasina). As the succession law dictates, heirs of all three branches are equally entitled to hold the title, and ascension of an heir to the title is subject to nomination and consensus from all three branches. The most recent titleholders have been exclusively from the Moli sept.
- Each island or atoll of Tuvalu has a traditional high chief, the ulu-aliki, who is recognised by and plays an active ceremonial role in the national government. Thrones are primarily elective, but candidates are limited to members of a certain number of chiefly clans.
- Funafuti's traditional chieftaincy is limited to senior members of two chiefly clans: Te Aliki a Mua, and Te Aliki a Muli. By custom, succession rotates between the two lineages.

- The last reigning Tu‘i Agaifo was Petelo Vikena, who reigned from 6 November 2008 until his abdication on 22 January 2010. His successor is yet to be determined.
- The king is elected by a council of chiefs from amongst the senior members of the kingdom's four chiefly clans.
- The title of the king depends on the family from which he is chosen. He will thus carry the title of Tamolevai, Keletaona, or Tuʻi Sigave. The current king holds the title of Tuʻi Sigave. Several sources report that Visesio Moeliku abdicated his throne in 2009, and that the throne of Sigave is now vacant.
- The king is elected by a council of chiefs from amongst the senior members of the kingdom's three chiefly clans: the Tamole, the Keletaona, and the Safoka. The present king is of the Safoka clan.
- The title is written in long-form as Tuʻi ʻUvea. Since 1858, the monarch has also traditionally worn the title of Lavelua. Faupala is also known locally as "Kalai Ki Valu".
- The king is elected, traditionally for a reign of ten years, by a council of ministers from amongst the senior members of the kingdom's royal clans. These clans correspond to the three districts of the island: Hahake, Hihifo, and Muʻa. The present king is of the Hihifo clan.

- The two high chiefs on Manihiki also traditionally reign over neighbouring Rakahanga. They represent the populace of both islands in the Are Ariki.
- The title is also often written as Whakaheo Ariki.
- Arikis of this line belong to either the Numatua or Tiangarotonga tribes.
- The throne of Te Faingaitu Ariki (alternatively Whaingaitu) is currently vacant. It is apparently disputed between a number of members of the eligible tribes, but no information is available on the claimants.
- Arikis of this line belong to either the Heahiro or Mokopuwai tribes.
- Sources are unclear on the actual name of the current Tamuera Ariki (often written Samuela Ariki).
- His name is sometimes written "Te Maeva" or simply "Maeva".
- The Makea Nui Ariki is one of three high chiefs in the Te Au o Tonga tribe on Rarotonga. The previous died in 1994, and her successor has yet to be agreed upon. Several members of the tribe claim rightful inheritance of the title. Succession is traditionally limited to the Rangi Makea clan; the three other clans of the tribe (Sadaraka, Mere and Upokotokoa) are considered junior branches. Mere Maraea MacQuarrie, the youngest daughter of the last ariki, is the only known claimant from the Rangi Makea clan, and is apparently the contender most likely to be granted the title. Other contenders include Stanley Adam Hunt, Yolande Browne, and Matapo Oti Oti, all of whom claim descent from one or another of the earlier arikis. The first of these, Hunt, was "invested" with the Makea Nui title under the regnal name "Takaia Tutavake"; the ceremony, which took place 16 May 2009, was not recognised by the government.
- Her full regnal name is "Tapaeru Teariki Upokotini Marie", although she is most commonly known simply as "Pa Marie".
- There are three separate lineages eligible for the Puaikura chieftaincy, all of which descend from Tinomana Enuarurutini (ca. 1820–1854) and one of his three wives. They are (in order of seniority): Te Pori, Oakirangi, and Akaiti. The current ariki belongs to the Akaiti line.
