Palau has several traditional chiefs of its
16 states. A factor that resulted in the decline of chiefly authority in Palau was the introduction of
elected governors, called upon in the
Constitution of Palau which came into effect on 1 January 1981.[1]
Specifically chief of
Ngesias which is the central portion of
Peleliu.[12]
Ibedul
Ibedul is a title given to the
high chief of
Koror, in
Palau, who is also the head of the Idid clan.[17][18] Koror is the most populated state with approximately 64% of Palauans living there as of 2020 and so historically bearers of the title were erroneously referred to as "Kings of Pelew" despite them not having authority over all of modern-day Palau.[19][20]
