The country home to the world's only emperor is Japan.
The current emperor of Japan is Emperor Naruhito, who ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne in 2019. The imperial family of Japan traces its lineage back to the legendary Emperor Jimmu, who is said to have founded the nation in 660 BCE.
While the emperor's role is largely ceremonial, he remains a symbol of national unity and continuity.
The emperor's power has been significantly reduced over the centuries, particularly after World War II. However, he still holds a special place in the hearts of the Japanese people.
