Map: Morocco in 1976, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Morocco in 1976, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 406,800 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1957 – 1999. Only 42 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

The line of Prime Minister of Morocco, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.

What happened within it, by century

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.
