Territorial Sovereigns

Territorial Sovereigns are national angels, or demons, who rule over certain geographical areas in the world. While they are similar in function and task to a Guardian Angel, they remain different to the point where they are even regarded as conflicting. The existence of territorial sovereigns is viewed as significant in spiritual warfare within these Christian groups.
==Description==
While they have no definitive description, one of the most notable mentions of and confrontations with a territorial sovereign is found in the Book of Daniel. Concerns the visitation of a man stating "his body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude."
This guy told Daniel that he had been delayed by the "Prince of Persia," but had been aided by "Michael, one of the great princes" (a reference to the Michael the Archangel, who was recognized to be a chief angel guarding over Israel). The guy forewarns Daniel that the "Prince of Greece" will soon join his Persian counterpart in declaring war on them.
==Overview==
It is believed that the Prince of Persia was a territorial spirit that acts as the guardian of the kingdom of Persia. Moreover, it is believed that the Persian prince is the angel known as Dobiel. After coming to power in Heaven, Dobiel set about helping the Persian people at the expense of every other nation. The legend states that all of the 70 or 72 tutelary or guardian angels of nations (except Michael, protector of Israel) became corrupted through national bias. The "man" that appeared before Daniel is also purported to be Gabriel.
Dumah was also once revered as the guardian angel of Egypt. He disregarded the command of Yahweh to exercise judgment over the Egyptian deities, having become attached to the Egyptian people as well as their worship. Dumah also viewed Yahweh's command to slaughter the firstborn as immoral, and convinced the angels under his command to rebel against the Heavens. Upon seeing this, Yahweh became furious and banished Dumah and his angels to Hell so that he could enact the slaughter of the firstborn.
