Ruler

A ruler is a person in charge of a country. see Monarch, Lists of incumbents


A ruler is an instrument used in geometry to measure short/medium distances. However, the ruler in Ruler-and-compass constructions is really a straightedge.

Pictures and different style of rulers should be added later. Right now, this article is just a stub.
