Monarchy
Tier 1: Power Structure
| Icon | Name | Potential | Effects | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Feudal Nobility |
|
In a Feudal kingdom the power of the Monarch is enhanced by a land owning aristocracy sworn to obey them. The aristocrats, or nobles, are often landowners in their own right, with considerable influence and vassals of their own. | |
 |
Autocracy |
|
Autocratic monarchies concentrate power in the hands of the ruler. The state is often seen as their personal property. It is not uncommon for rulers to have ministers and supporters, but these are then referred to as members of the royal household. | |
 |
Elective Monarchy | {
"has_dlc": "Domination"
} |
|
Elective monarchies choose their heir instead of having them come to power through a succession law. The nobility can propose a candidate from a foreign dynasty, from their own midst or other members of the royal family. |
 |
Plutocracy | {
"OR": {
"technology_group": [
"tech_gnomish",
"tech_bulwari",
"tech_west_harimari",
"tech_raheni",
"tech_halessi"
],
"culture_group": [

],
"primary_culture": [
"blue_reachman",
"white_reachman"
],
"has_reform": "plutocratic_reform",
"is_vyzemby_primary_culture": true
}
} |
|
A plutocratic kingdom is one where the supporters of the Monarch are those with the largest incomes. The monarch is often the head of a successful merchant enterprise, and so are many of their supporters. |
 |
Revolutionary Empire | {
"has_reform": "revolutionary_empire_reform"
} |
|
The Revolutionary Empire is a slightly more conservative form of government with a single ruler ruling with reference a chamber of deputies. The government can mobilize a large amount of manpower, and every soldier carries a marshal's baton in his backpack. |
 |
Arverynnic Feudalism | {
"OR": {
"tag": "G35",
"was_tag": "G35"
},
"mission_completed": "land_reform"
} |
|
Like the rest of the Ynn, Feudalism is an important aspect of our society, providing stability and hierarchy, as well as effective local governance. Unlike most of the Ynn however, Arverynn has many laws in place protecting the smaller land holders, those who truly keep the empire running with their dedication to their own land, which we then of course can tax more easily. |
 |
Ynnic Feudalism | {
"AND": {
"OR": [
{
"culture": [
"sarda",
"dolindhan"
]
},
{
"religion": [
"ynn_river_worship",
"ynn_river_reformed"
]
}
]
}
} |
|
Feudalism is the dominant form of government in the Ynn river valley. Lords maintain vast estates on which serfs work the land, which they use to support their antler horses through which they form mighty armies. However, in return a Lord is expected to be just and fullfill his obligations to his subjects, among which are keeping the peace, protecting them from local wildlife, serving their overlord, and aiding them in times of trouble such as droughts, floods and raids by buycev. |
 |
Kyrrachean Dynasties | {
"OR": {
"AND": [
{
"tag": "G35",
"dynasty": "Vyrekynn"
},
{
"tag": "G84",
"dynasty": "yen Bacar"
},
{
"tag": "G35",
"dynasty": "yen Stenur"

{

},
{

"OR": {
"dynasty": [
"yen Stantir",
"yen Stenur",
"yen Bacar",
"Vyrekynn"
]
}
}
]
}
} |
|
Of Sarda's ruling families, four are the true Kyrrachean Dynasties: the green-haired yen Stantir, the teal-haired Vyrekynn, the blue-haired yen Bacar, and the white-haired yen Stenur. All of these dynasties have earned the title of "Everlasting" through their centuries of history, and it would be a scandal if they were succeeded by someone with the wrong hair colour all of a sudden. Our Hair colour grants us further legitimacy, both to our subjects and to our Iosahars. |
 |
Ranger Lordship | {
"tag": "U32",
"NOT": {
"has_country_flag": "no_ranger_lordship_discount"
}
} |

},
{
"is_playing_custom_nation": true,
"have_had_reform": "blademarches_kingdom_reform"
}
]
}
} |
|
The Kingdom of the Blademarches is somewhat of a monarchy, with all the caveats of the traditional nobility. What's different however, is the process of selecting a monarch: each monarch must prove themselves capable of wielding §O(Calindal, the Gleaming Blade)§! or abdicate the throne. |
 |
Lucian's Domain | {
"has_country_flag": "B34_lucian",

},
"has_country_flag": "adventurer_derived_government"
}
} |
|
Founded by an adventurer, this kingdom's noble-caste is not backed by millennia of ancient rights and traditions, but instead their efforts and rank within the Adventuring Company and closeness to the founding monarch, creating a more diverse and less homogeneous noble class. |

"tag": [
"F51",
"F99"
]
},
"AND": {
"have_had_reform": "jadd_empire",
"is_playing_custom_nation": true
}
}
} |
|
In this form of government the head of state is also the head of the Jadd faith. The Divine-Herald is the voice of Surael and the first in the prayer. But the Divine-Herald is also the leader of the government and the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Legions. §ODue to its vast administration the Divine-Herald can move his or her court upon taking the throne and upon the completion of certain missions.§! |

"has_country_flag": "oak_monarchy_reform",
"AND": {
"have_had_reform": "oak_monarchy_reform",
"is_playing_custom_nation": true
}
}
} |
|
The failure of the Verdant Pact pushed the disparate Wood Elf clans to bow to the newly formed realm of Cyranvar as a permanent union headed by a High King, who was elected by the leading clans of the Deepwoods. To prevent the stagnation of past eras from setting in once again, the vital convention was that the reigning king can only serve until they reach two centuries of age was established. This was done to ensure that Cyranvar continues to be ruled by dynamic leaders who are not out of touch with the times while also guaranteeing that no ruler is able to accrue too much power. From this arrangement stems the effervescence characteristic of the reinvigorated Wood Elven society. |
 |
Hobgoblin Stratocracy | {
"OR": {
"tag": [

],
"has_reform": "hobgoblin_stratocracy_reform"
}
} |
|

"religion": "bulwari_sun_cult",
"has_country_flag": "updating_isolationism_window"
}
} |
|
The governorships of the Phoenix Empire were divided among the sun elven rulers during the Partition of Kalib. These evolved into their personal estates and form the core power of the sun elven kingdoms and so the management of these estates became the management of the state. |

"sorncosti",
"roilsardi"
]
}

}
]
}
} |
|
The ancient nation of Castanor has long relied on the Trials of Castan, a series of arduous tests on the Trialmount, to prove that the claimant of the empire is worthy to rule. In times past many claimants would flock to the Temple of Castellos at the base of the Trialmount to compete in the climb, and the trials, against each other for title of Castan and become Emperor of Castanor. But since the rule of Castan Ebonfrost, the trials been changed to a hereditary dynastic rule, with only the direct heir participating in the Trial. |

Karashari Empire | {
"primary_culture": "karashari_orc"
} |
|
This Orcish Empire takes many of its features from Bulwari administrative traditions and focuses on governing via a group of vassal states. The state itself is focused on protection of its human subjects from foreign threats, while orcs mainly serve in the administration and the army. |
 |
Ogre Kingdom | {
"has_reform": "ogre_kingdom"
} |
|
This is a kingdom of Ogres, giant gluttonous monsters known for their selfishness and cruelty. Due to these innate features of Ogrekind, rulers of the realms are by virtue highly authoritarian and rule with an iron fist. |
 |
Ogre Empire | {
"has_reform": "ogre_empire"
} |
|
Through immense effort, the Ogres of this realm have been brought to heel before their supreme overlord, vowing unbreakable loyalty upon their liege under pain of death by starvation. Though this Empire is highly authoritarian, they seem to be more focused on improving what they have than conquering new lands, which is not to say that they are not prepared to do the latter as well. |
|
Great Ogre Horde | {
"has_reform": "great_ogre_horde"
} |
|
The horde of Ogres has grown to immense size, full of barbaric and ruthlessly bloodthirsty beasts with an insatiable desire for raw flesh, and prepared to go to incredible lengths to obtain their next bloody, writhing, still screaming meal. The Horde marches across Halcann, and all must flee from its might or become fuel for its warriors. |
 |
Mengotsa | {
"has_reform": "mengotsa"
} |
|
The great Mengurkha of Maghargma has finally managed to enforce their rule over their subjects, forging a powerful and united force against those that should oppose them.

The Ogres can now be said to truly possess an Empire. |

"has_reform": "liangzhu_reform"
} |
|
The finding of the Liangzhu, or Good Lord, is a ceremony that is performed every five years.

Underkingdom | {
"primary_culture": "undergrowth_goblin",
"OR": {
"has_reform": "underkingdom_reform",
"have_had_reform": "underkingdom_reform",
"tag": "I99"
}
} |
|
Cave goblins are the most brutal and devious of the goblinoids, living their lives in overcrowded and food scarce warrens and tunnels deep within the Serpentspine mountains. The most devious and brutal of all of these are the goblins of the Undergrowth, whose massive populations fill the twisting warrens of their home. Despite the cutthroat conditions of the dens, their hardscrabble life has done a great deal to encourage meritocracy among them. The level of social freedom for one of the Undergrowth goblins far greater than even the kingdoms of their surface bretheren. It is a pity that this freedom seems mostly devoted to climbing the ladder of society or inventing new and explosive ways to eliminate one's enemies. |
 |
Reformed Goblinoid Kingdom | {
"dwarovar_goblin_culture_primary": true
} |
|
In the past, kingdoms of goblins and other goblinoids tended to be loosely administrated, with no formal laws or rules of succession. However, the advancement of this particular kingdom has seen it borrow these aspects from human style kingdoms. What still sets apart a goblinoid kingdom is its level of social advancement, having a far weaker and looser nobility than a human kingdom. This gives them a degree of administrative flexibility, as well as a more powerful merchant class, called cartels in Dwarven parlance. |
 |
Eunuch Dynasty | {
"has_reform": "eunuch_dynasty_reform",
"has_estate": "estate_eunuchs_anb"

"has_country_flag": [
"has_vampires_estate",
"corvurian_embraced_vampires"
]
}
}
} |
|
The Midnight Monarchy carries two conventions. For the unaware, it is known for the ruthless treatment of its citizenry, such that the Monarch's will is easily carried out. For those with a taste for blood, however, this nation is a haven worth working alongside. |
 |
Demon Empire | {
"has_reform": "demon_empire_reform"
} |
|
The former Rashenbir of Azjakuma have completely seized control of the Oni, removing the old electoral system and crowning themselves Tamongor, Emperor. While the Shirgrii continue to hold great influence in the land, they know who their undisputed ruler is and follow them without question. Highly expansionist and determined to see the world under their fist, they are a force to be reckoned with. |
 |
Griffon Lords | {
"has_reform": "griffon_lords_reform",
"OR": {
"primary_culture": "marrodic",
"is_playing_custom_nation": true
}
} |
|
Ever since the times of King Marr and Ulric, the Griffon Prince, when our people first settled this land, our nobility has practised the art of griffon riding. Thus, raising griffons and using them as war mounts in battle became an extremely important tradition, and the nobles are expected to lead our people to battle atop these magnificent feathered beasts. |
 |
Griffon Empire | {
"has_reform": "griffon_empire_reform",
"OR": {
"primary_culture": "marrodic",
"is_playing_custom_nation": true
}
} |
|

Every marrodic soldier aspires to one day prove themselves and become a griffon lord in their own right, something which has led to a never-ending improvement of their technique. |

}
]
}
} |
|
Resurrected in the wake of Galadorn's rebellion in 1377, the Battlekingdom of Malacnar claims legacy to what is possibly the oldest state in the Ynn - that of Levodas and his companions. But whether this new state will solidify, or keep walking the thin line between a kingdom and a mere battleground where the strong do as they please, it remains to be seen. |
 |
Hereditary Battlekingdom | {

 |
The Empress Rule | {
"has_country_flag": "aelnar_the_empress_rule"
} |
|
The title of ruler of all the elves, custodian and keeper of our peoples and of our once-forgotten home, is the supreme position held not by the descendants of some "great" line of bickering mortals and their groveling sycophants like that of the unenlightened backwater that is the rest of the world. Instead, our empress is the one and same ruler who had taken our race out of the grime and soot of our past and guided us to a our ultimate future: one where the elves are to live on a utopia of their own hands, in the land that was once lost, where magic more powerful and incomprehensible than anything seen before is made servile to our every whim. |

} |
|
A Gnomish Co-Government is a government in which gnomes hold a supportive but vital role. Their influence permeates through every faucet of the administration. These gnomes will be more than pleased with this system, but the local civil servants won't be keen on working in a bilingual government. |

Northern Custodians | {
"has_reform": "northen_custodians",
"primary_culture": "fjord_troll"
} |
|
We are custodians of the north, a task left to us by the Giants themselves. Our government must be geared to this purpose, and it alone. |
 |
The Seincourt | {
"has_reform": "seincourt_reform"
} |
|
The Songcourt, a system of government with what is essentially a duke, surrounded by a powerful class of mages, specifically bards. Most of the court's focus is in their own creative persuits, so less time is spent on proper ruling, but the benefits to a powerful bard class are many. |

We have consolidated power behind the Frozenforge clan. May they maintain the traditions of competence and meritocracy that have so shaped our people and be themselves their pinnacle! The councils of each hold will report to a larger assembly in Krakdhûmvror at the head of which will sit the King. This way the previous system can be used to manage the holds, while the king manages them and the realm. |

The Arena in Lapnam Amrik has been the stage of countless fights, which in turn has attracted countless fighters, as a result a society of mercenaries has formed around this violent hub. The captains of these mercenaries, often local nobles are called Daulophs. Fights range from bloodfeuds to bets, man versus monster, mercenary squabbles, dauloph arguments and even heir selection. |

This realm is ruled over by an immortal spirit of a deceased king, passed from life but not from this plane, their sheer force of will allowing them to remain in the mortal world. They are bound to their palace, incapable of leaving their throne. This has led to a lot of problems for our state, we should look for a better long term solution as soon as possible. |

In order to rectify this, the hereditary position of living co-emperor has been created. A popular and prominent noble has been appointed to the position, which he will hold until his death or abdication. While the Ghost-Emperor remains our nominal sovereign, the co-emperor is entrusted with mortal affairs. |

Roangu Thidin | {

Chien Binhrung's sole power, since the founding of the kingdom in 9 BA, has always been the ruling queen of the nation. This unique tradition dates back to when Chien Binhrung was founded by a matriarchal tribe, who conquered many disunified villages on the eastern side of the Lupulan Peninsula. Combining the traditions of their tribe to Kai customs, Chien Binhrung became a land where the queen's will was law and where the people were willing to fight for her against any foe. The tribe that formed Chien Binhrung also picked up the customs of their new Kai brethren, including a focus on open trade with neighbors and adopting the Righteous Path as their new faith. |

Isolated Kingdom | {

Still damaged by the civil wars of the Sewengun Period, as well as the lack of faith it's Menjeotaen and Chimbija subjects place in it, the Kingdom of Daengun is almost incapable of diplomatic interations and foreign affairs. Should the dynasty become fully recognized as the legitimate rulers of Odheongu, this state of affairs will end. |

The Compact of Menjaeng is the constitution of Odheongu, a deal between the king - on behalf of the Odheongun people - and the spirits of the realm. A kingdom following the Compact must send each new king to the island of Somyonghon to beseech the spirits for recognition before being considered a truly legitimate ruler. |

The Segbandal took shape once before during the days of Aul-Dwarov and (short-lived decline notwithstanding) has emerged once more as the rightful authority over the Middle Dwarovar. It is everything Aul-Dwarov failed to be: decisive, innovative, undivided by internal rivalries and squabbles. It now stands in the way it was always meant to: as a rigid structure of holds bound together not only by honour, but also by kinship and law. |

The result of Katouka's of the Undying Flame concentrating all powers of the republic onto himself, the Flame Custodian inherits not only the position of King of Jiantsiang, but also the position of High Priest of the Temple of the Undying Flame and that of Protector, commander of the state's military forces. This allows the Custodian to rule as they see fit, with little to no internal opposition. |

The Alesong is held when a new Keglord is needed. The would-be-rulers drink heavily before every bout, in which they fight each other one on one, until one of them vomits, is knocked unconscious, or dies. The last contestant to remain undefeated is crowned as the new Keglord. After their crowning, the new ruler has twenty years to find themselves a glorious death, be it through combat or drink. A Keglord that lives through his term is exiled from the realm in disgrace, never to be seen or be named an Amethyst Dwarf again. |

} |
|
In the ancient days of Bulwar's bygone Age of Monsters, gnoll matriarchs ruled over the lesser gnoll packs and the native Bulwari in elaborate and sometimes even equitable hierarchies. The rise of the Great Xhaz, however, spelled the end of these arrangements, and though in the centuries since Bulwar has seen its fair share of kingdoms ruled by gnollkind, none come close to the glorious states conceived by those gnolls of antiquity - or so it was until Tluukt 'Cleaver-of-Realms' cleaved anew her own realm and codified the laws and hierarchies still in use today by the Tluuktraak. |

Siádan's Harpy Matriarchy has been reorganised into the first "Harpy Empire", an autocratic and imperialist state, from which a legally privileged and empowered harpy class dominates the rest of society, and the autocratic apparatus rules with an iron fist the disparate subjects of the empire. Every instrument of empire is held in the personal command of the Queen of Siádan, with the Chorsekhíl, her personal guard and paramilitary force, acting as the executor of her will. |

Dakinshi Warlord | {
"has_reform": "dakinshi_warlord_reform"
} |
|
Dakinshiland of the late Warlord era has descended into what can be described as a state of near anarchy. In a world, where the land is poor, weapons are plenty, the most important resource is food and no tribal, family or religious identity exists. In this chaos, the Namingo - chief warlords - exert their power through military might and control over herds of livestock. The Namingo’s hold, however, is loose, kept only by whatever advantage they have. Typically this comes in the form of military might, but circumstances such as blackmail, bribery and even naive optimism have established several warlords’ careers. When a warlord dies, the next one is chosen among their descendants by the lesser warlords in a "free" election, oftenly rigged in favour of the strongest one standing. |
 |
Namasonamingo | {
"OR": {
"has_reform": "namasonamingo_reform",

}
} |
|
The Dakinshi practice a form of matriarchal shamanic feudalism, their society bound by linkages of ritual practice and religious hierarchy. At the top of this hierarchy sits the Namingo, a member of a hereditary shaman family who rules alongside her many spouses both male and female. The Namingo and her family maintain a monopoly on various aspects of the queendom's economy, and her spouses function as a royal bureaucracy. Marriage into the royal household is one of the primary means of social and economic advancement. |

Bandit Kingdom | {
"tag": "H57",
"has_reform": "new_havoral_bandit_kingdom_reform"
} |
|
Oscillating between despotism and outright kleptocracy, the Bandit Kingdom of New Havoral operates on the simple principle of might makes right. Unconstrained by constitutional limits and enforcing a patchwork of legal codes inherited from specific mercenary corps, the iron fist of the Marauder King keeps a number of de facto bandit ‘lords’ in a constant, restless state of mobilisation, cracking down regularly to enforce obedience. The quality of government is pure lottery, determined by whoever has been given transient authority over one’s local area. Much of the population exists at the mercy of nouveau-riche bandit colonial landowners living out a frontier fantasy. Abuses are as such ubiquitous and egregious. |

Ebonfrost Autocratic Rule | {

By codifying the rules of the Ozarm'chadash into a series of duels for succession, we have developed a unique form of elective monarchy. Upon the death of our current ruler, a series of duels are held between the most notable of orcs in the kingdom, usually minor clan chiefs and famous generals. Instead of just doing a final combat with the two mightiest orcs of the duels, they, along with a notable relative of the previous king, must pass a series of trials designed to measure their leadership abilities. |

Raghamidesh Merchant Kingdom | {
"primary_culture": "raghamidesh"
} |
|
The Raghamideshi have long been a mercantile people, seeking new markets and wealth. In time this led to the rise of powerful merchants becoming nobles, and later those nobles mixing with the royal houses. These merchant nobles used their power to enforce a pseudo-elective monarchy in the Raghamidesh lands, where each of the represented houses could put forward a candidate for election. The elective was open only to houses of royal descent, and was just as often won through promises of wealth as it was skill, making both critical components of such elections. |

The Kingdom of Kheterata is ancient. Older than Dameria, the Phoenix Empire or even Castanor. And though many dynasties have come and gone, Kheterata remained. Though prosperity and suffering have come and gone, Kheterata remained. Our control over the Sorrow, the grainbasket of the Divenhal and the bridge between Sarhal and Salahad has provided us with immense amounts of wealth and power. As long as the Sorrow remains, so too will the Kingdom of Kheterata. |

After the reformation of the Kinah system, House Alas’gasidi took over the former Federation and installed a monarchy. The Kinah’s former rulerships were given administrative positions in the newly-formed kingdom’s institutions, and over time the Kinah became associated with government positions rather than territories. In order to legitimize their rulership, the Alas’gasidi proclaimed themselves bearers of the Paragon’s will and swore oaths to ensure the Haraf’ne’s prosperity. |

No matter how rich and fat they grow, the ultimate authority is the Drakelord and by extension the drakon rider armies they send out to enforce their will. Authority comes to those powerful enough to take it for themselves. |

In this place, lineage yields to courage, and the very fabric of our nation is woven by those who rise to glory instead of remaining mired in tradition. |
