Kingdoms

A kingdom is a group of people, united under one food, one cause, and one purpose. A kingdom may be democratic or a dictatorship. A kingdom can have a government or not. A kingdom could have 50 members or 6, but no less than 5. Kingdoms are the backbone entities of Alushimi.

## How to make one

A kingdom can be made anytime by anyone. If someone wishes to make a kingdom, they should do the following steps:

1. Firstly - decide on a food to base your kingdom around.
	* It's not a food fight for nothing - choose a food you want your kingdom to support. It can, quite literally, be anything! Could be your favorite food like pie, a popular food like pizza, or a cultural delicascy like biryani.
2. Pizza what? Choose a title.
	* Are food kingdoms too boring for you? Try food republics, food clans, food sultanates, food federations or anything! Be as creative as you can with the name.
3. Gather a couple friends, if you have any-
	* Get at least 4 more people to join your kingdom. If you want your kingdom to be taken seriously by others, your kingdom must have at least 5 commies, or freemen, or slaves, or however you want to call the members of your kingdom.
4. Make a Discord server, yæy
	* The most exciting part - feel free to design this server as you wish. We won't judge, unless you're Alino.
5. Get your kingdom recognized by other big boi kingdoms
	* Now what is recognition? It's important so that other kingdoms will actually treat your kingdom as a kingdom, and not just some rebellion or coup. If you are making a rebellion or coup, you don't need recognition, but you can get it anyway if you want just for fun.
6. Pick a sid- I mean, establish diplomatic relations
	* I reccomend doing this step after you get recognition from at least 3 other kingdoms. If you do this step before, some kingdoms might not recognize yours just because your views go against theirs.
	* Try doing a treaty with an existing kingdom. This will, of course, automatically get you to join their side of things in Alushimi, like blocs, enemies and mutual agreesion pacts.
7. Grow your kingdom even more
	* Get even more people to join your kingdom so it can be a big boi stronk kingdom yes.

## How it works

A kingdom in Alushimi has a hierarchy, usually including:

1. The Leader
	* The all powerful owner of the kingdom. Has absolute control over everything and is the person you'd go to when consulting about that kingdom's business.
2. The Second in Command
	* The second most powerful one in the kingdom. When the leader is offline, the 2ic takes over kingdom affairs.
3. The Third(s) in Command
	* The lieutenants. 3ic Government members which keep the kingdom nice, shiny and clean, and are the first ones to deal with stuff before escalating problems to the 2ic or leader.
4. The Members
	* The backbone of the kingdom. You can't have one without members - that's the whole point.

## The premise

A kingdom has only one premise in Alushimi, with many asterisks attatched.

My kingdom and food is best and better than yours.\*

\*Unless you are my ally, then this does not apply to you

\*\*Unless you are not my ally but a good friend, then this does not apply to you too

\*\*\*Unless if you are already part of a block or kingdom I hate, then this does apply to you

\*\*\*\*Unless if that kingdom I hate is pretty small and weak, then this applies to you twice as much

\*\*\*\*\*Unless if you're Alino, then this applies to you 100x as much, I mean c'mon, everyone hates Alino
