Montenegro is not represented by one centralized government.
 After falling under Ottoman Empire rule, Montenegro gained its semi-autonomy in 1696 under the rule of the House of Petrovi-Njego, first as a theocracy and later as a secular principality
 After the war, Montenegro became a republic under its name, the People's Republic of Montenegro (Montenegrin:     / Narodna Republika Crna Gora) on 29 November 1945
