Being Monarch of a kingdom is quite a responsibility. The less experienced of you should consider voting for another who looks to be a strong and capable leader. If you are interested in the Monarchy, there is much to know: Political power is not easy to obtain. Below, I will describe to you both the powers of the Monarch and the methods by which you can gain that throne. |
| How To Become the Monarch |
|---|
| So you wish to be a Monarch, eh? There are a couple of ways to achieve your goal. First, you may be voted in by your fellow provinces. In order to be elected, you must maintain 35% of the vote of other leaders, and you must have at least 2 more votes than any other province. Alas, if you are not popular, this will likely not happen. But there is another way. If you can seize control of your kingdom -- that is, have more than 50% of the total networth on the kingdom -- your vote is all that matters. Whoever you choose to be Monarch will be elected. Unfortunately, to do this, you may have to attack your fellow kingdom provinces, weakening your kingdom's stature throughout the world. Sometimes, civil war is the only way to acheive one's goals. But can you piece together a fragmented kingdom into an effective team? |
| Who has the Votes? |
|---|
| Each province on your kingdom begins with one vote. However, there are ways to obtain additional votes and strengthen your standing. For every 1500 points of fame you gain -- above your initial 1000 -- you will automatically gain one additional vote within the Kingdom Council. By Utopian Law, every province is guaranteed a minimum of one vote. |
| The Benefits & Responsibilities of the Monarch |
|---|
| If you become King or Queen (by force or vote) your province
gains several benefits. Because of the central importance of your province,
your economy gains strength and your income rises. In addition, the prestige
of representing your kingdom makes you military stronger, and the mages gain
interkingdom standing, allowing you to produce more runes. Finally, you are
granted the right by your Kingdom Council to rename the Kingdom as you feel
is appropriate.
Along with the benefits come many responsibilities. Most importantly, you must rule with a fair hand. Seek input from your provinces, or you may quickly find yourself out of office. Each kingdom must find a Monarch to grow, but more importantly, they must find a fair and noble Monarch. It will also be your responsibility to maintain the Kingdom Council Forums, to keep them clean, and to make them a useful service to the various rulers across your kingdom. You will also essentially represent your kingdom to the world, and your actions will reflect on the provinces you represent. Diplomacy and tact will be vital to any kind of long-term successes. As Monarch, you will be responsible for maintaining relations with other kingdoms and organizing Dragon Projects. |
