THE LAND OF CLUB The Floating City, home to the Golden Court, and the home of trade in Wonderland. The Land of Club is known for being a place of commerce and currency, seeing as the first bank of Wonderland was established here. It was here that it became official that Wonderland would trade in platinum, gold, silver, and copper pieces. Many merchants get most of their supplies from this kingdom before moving on. Outside of regular business, this kingdom is the leading one over marine based products, such as fish, boats, etc. That's because the city is scattered around islands with various sectors over different types of trade, with each island only accessible by boat. The Land of Club is also the most densely populated kingdom. T H E . G O L D E N . Q U E E N - - R A V E N N A Ravenna is more of a Director rather than a Queen. She runs her city like a business in order to maintain boundaries for equality and earnings. She doesn't dip her hand in the pot of business, unless to regulate illegal trade, which happens more than many would like to admit. She mainly holds meetings with each sector's mayors to help create, organize, and null laws and practices that may hurt the city's wealth andor the people's state of living. Though she may not be seen as the most sociable or friendly ruler, she is agreed to be a good ruler. She puts her home first and does what she think is feasibly just for it. T H E . G O L D E N . C O U R T These are the ten mayors over the different sectors of the Floating City, each with an expertise over a type of business. These cover vegetation and meat production, alcoholic and non alcoholic drink production, realty, fashion, living amenities and luxuries, technology steam era, carpentry and masonry, medicinal herbs and poultices, weaponry and armor, and fishing. They help Ravenna maintain the Land of Club in hopes of being fair to everyone, merchant and consumer alike. Unfortunately, a few are corrupt and can be bought easily with things and people they desire, but that is why Ravenna only hears their words as mere suggestions. Needless to say, the defense for the Land of Club is heavily based on marine warfare. The water that snakes around the islands keeps it difficult for foot soldiers to make their way undetected by all of the islands, while giving the Floating City's soldiers an advantage. However, the military also possesses foot soldiers for whenever they are forced to fight within their own walls. However, these units are rarely used since no one has made it past the Clubs' naval defense. Queen Ravenna also has her own, small spy network that she uses to help gather intel on future marketing endeavors, news concerning her allied kingdoms, and whether or not Iracebeth is acting up or not. She doesn't approve of how the Red Queen remains alive and can still behead people, but she doesn't dare disagree with the Black and White Queens. She isn't stupid. Needless to say, the economy is booming in the Floating City. Some parts more than others, of course, seeing many sectors depend on the money brought in by sales and taxes. Poverty isn't a large problem but every now and again, you will see some poor soul who isn't doing as well as other people. This is allowed mainly because there is a clear class system in the Land of Club which equates to how much wealth you have. It sadly encourages some people to spend more money than they have and there is no recovery system for them because the Queen doesn't want to encourage bad spending in her kingdom. So where do you go from there? To illegal trade, of course! Though it isn't public knowledge, or governmental knowledge, there are illegally obtained and sold things in the Land of Club. This can include slave trade, sex market, humanoid anatomical sales, grave digging, and other shady services. Ravenna is aware of these businesses existing in her city, but she usually is unable to catch every offender. Unfortunately, having the largest populated kingdom leaves her more blind to dark corners in the city. And if her court is corrupt, there may be no hope in foiling every unit of these illegal practices.
