I finally realized the meaning of the ring from LOTR. Each jursidiction of law is a soveignty, or a property, or plantation, or kingdom, or republic. Each ring represents a jurisdiction, but not of literal land. It is _types_ of law, which are typically symbolized by gods and astrotheological objects. Thus, the one ring to rule them all is henotheism, and Tolkien's whole point is that monarchy comes from monotheism.
Consider the legal argument:
"God has given me right to rule this land"
"Um, no he hasn't. Your god is irrelevant. My god says I should rule."
"My god is the only real god. All others are inferior."
This is henotheism. At the extreme end of henotheism is monotheism, but it's not really that big of a philosophical leap to make.
The point is, the notion of a monotheistic cosmos is what created civilization first, because the first civilization needed the first king. Without a king, civilization descends into a natural republic (multipolar, no single claim to sovereignty over all), for better or for worse.
You might say, why wouldn't a republic create a civilization? Well, because the whole purpose of establishing the civilization IS a form of kingdom. It is to have total dominance over your property, which a kingdom is to its sovereign. Plantation and owner.
So, the real battle for power is an occult war between gods, who represent jurisdictions in the world. They can be viewed as literal religious institutions (ie, the Vatican, the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi), or they could be viewed as purely governmental or even economic in nature. Wherever the locus of control is within a given space, there is your ring. That ring moves around as the power of control over the realm shifts. Sometimes they are in the hands of the official leaders, and the hierarchy is transparent, and sometimes they are not.
