3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1962 – 1984. Only 22 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 2 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.61, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Heads of government

The line of head of government, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 1 cause the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
