Officially, Louis XVI was the last real King of France of the old regime. He was the last King of France with actual reigning power. After him, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself emperor of France, so then France was an empire. After Napoleon, the monarchy in France was restored, and Louis XVIII (a.k.a. Comte de Provence, the bother of Louis XVI) became King of France, but he had no reigning power, being only a King in name since the old regime had been abolished in 1792. After him, his brother became King, King Charles X (a.k.a. Comte de Artois, another brother of Louis XVI). After him, Louis Philippe (the cousin of King Charles X) became King. After them, France turned into a Republic and had presidents.

Napoleon was an emperor and was a stronger (which does not immediately mean better) ruler then Louis XVI overall, although he made poor choices. Louis was very indecisive and did not have a clue on how to do a thing corresponding on how to rule a country.

Both the governments of King Louis XVI and Napoleon Bonaparte were characterized by centralization of power and strong control over the administration. Both leaders sought to strengthen and consolidate the authority of the state, with Louis XVI attempting to reassert royal authority and Napoleon establishing a centralized and efficient bureaucratic system. However, one key difference is that Napoleon's government was more successful in achieving stability and implementing reforms, while Louis XVI's reign was marked by political turmoil and ultimately led to the French Revolution.
