Is there an example in history when a single state apparatus answers to two ruling entities? Closest I can think of is the two popes/antipopes western schism era when the monarchs could choose which pope to answer to. It’s not a great example though.

Two simulations/virtual machines running on the same political “hardware” (state apparatus, including military).

Also Sparta but the two Kings shared power with the ephors and the gerousia
