The history of the kingdom dates back to the 13th century, and at that time Buganda was one of 5 small clan emirates scattered along the northern shore of Lake Victoria. The Kingdom of Buganda is ruled by a crowned king, with a subject of 12 million people, a parliament, a government, a council of tribal advisors, and lands extending over approximately 61 thousand square kilometers.
