Kingdom

Various kingdoms, city-states and other polities exist throughout Gielinor, generally inhabited and ruled predominantly by one race.

Many of these polities are monarchies ruled by a king or other monarch, while others have a governing structure such as a council or republic. Some civilisations have unspecified forms of government, and not all domains have clearly defined borders.
