      Not even an Empress of Equestria in the show. The highest attainable rank appears to be Princess.

      True, though, fun fact, Princess is the feminised version of Prince, which is the anglicised version of Princeps, which is the actual title used by Roman “Emperors” through a fair portion of the empire’s existence.

      I know right! But yeah that one is one of those weird historical oddities where we’ve ended up applying Roman terminology strangely because of historical accidents.

      What's strange is that it ended up as a kind of low title; below a king and particularly, one of the sons of the king. It means "first"!

      That’s a peculiarity of English, though. In other European languages it ended up being the generic word for “ruler”.

      True (and to some extent, it is in English, though not in particularly common usage). There is the French "prince du sang," which is also somewhat generic.

      You still hear stuff from the King James Bible like calling the Devil "the prince of this world" and referring to demons as "powers and principalities"

      "Emperor" outranking "king" or "prince" is a historical accident too "Imperator" literally just means "commander", like a military commander, and the noun "imperium" means "command" (ie the people a commander has authority over)

      When Augustus Caesar became the first Emperor and ended the Republic he basically used various titles as euphemisms to avoid actually calling himself a "king" (Rex) from the "bad old days" of pre-Republic Rome Like how modern dictators go by "General" or "Generalissimo"

      For that matter that's where we get the word "dictator" (in the Roman Republic a leader who put the country under martial law under a time of emergency was a "dictator", i.e. "order-giver")
