= Where does all this stem from? =
	Formal political entities are initially in the form of single cities. Cities can increase their areas of influence by expanding internally or by taking over other cities, thus forming larger areas of influence. New cities can be formed by building a city hall and attaching buildings to it. The attaching of buildings to a city is usually done voluntarily by the players who built the buildings (the game engine knows the owner of the city), but some authorities can do it as well. This always includes going to the city hall and filling out a writ of ownership with the ruler's seal on it. Buildings can only be registered from within a certain radius from the borders of the city, and this radius is proportionate to the influence factor of the city.
	
	= Why does one want to create a city? =
	The forming of a formal city enables the people in the city to enjoy many features provided by the game engine. These include automatic listings of a city's resources, the viewing of accurate areas of influence, proper, formal titles acknowledged by certain superior authorities, NPC guard assignments, taxation and automatic bookkeeping of the city's monetary situation, etc.
	
	
	= Who controls it? =
	Players are in charge of formal cities. The founders of a city first gain formal titles by being recognized at the Council of Namhas, and these initial founders can name more nobles based on their personal amount of respect and limited by the city's influence factor.
	
	
	= The Council of Namhas =
	The Council of Namhas is a globally recognized supreme political and religious authority, whose members are the highest ranking leaders of organized religions. Its responsibilities include the official recognition of the birth and destruction of new cities and in that context the naming of the highest, initial political leaders of cities, the recognition of transfers of political power due to invasions, the set borders of cities, and many other things political. The Council of Namhas has local branches, though sporting global influence, due to pragmatic, geographical reasons.
	
	
	= How to invade other cities? =
	Invading groups of buildings that are not formally recognized is simple: build a city hall in the middle of the area and assign every building under it yourself. The original owners of the territory might not like it though... Invading cities that are formally recognized by the Council of Namhas is more difficult, and it includes invading the city hall of the target city as well as the steps mentioned above. The peaceful exchange of buildings in cities is done so that the original owner of the building first releases it from under its power so that it becomes an unregistered building, and then the new owner registers the building from under his rule.
	
	
	= Then, what happens if you have two separate cities both under the same authority? =
	The biggest reason for having separate locations for cities instead of a huge network of buildings is limited resources. You can't have money without precious metals or minerals, you can't have buildings without wood or rock, nor can you have food without nature or farmlands. There always must be one city hall per each city, and the amount of city halls and the combined influence of the individual cities dictates the amount of extra ruling buildings that can be built. Note: CAN be built. There can be a state that is nothing but a bunch of separate cities under different rulers, but more city halls allows more rulers. For example (amount of city halls):
	
	*1 Baron
	*2 Barons, 1 Lord
	*3 Barons, 1 Lord
	*4 Barons, 2 Lords, 1 Count
	*5 Barons, 2 Lords, 1 Count
	*6 Barons, 3 Lords, 2 Counts
	*7 Barons, 3 Lords, 2 Counts
	*8 Barons, 4 Lords, 2 Counts, 1 Duke
	*9 Barons, 4 Lords, 3 Counts, 1 Duke
	*10 Barons, 4 Lords, 3 Counts, 2 Dukes, 1 Prince
	
	...
	These titles are dependant on race and culture, the above was only an example
	
	
	= What about civil wars, coups and usurping? =
	This is always done by violence, and requires overthrowing the throne of the current leader. This requires gaining control of the building of the biggest ruler in the land. However, the downside of usurping a high authority is that the inhabitants might not like it...
