Fantasy Guide to Political Structures

A Horse! A Horse! My X for a Horse!

Let's be honest, fantasy authors love their kingdoms and empires. You can throw a rock in a bookshop or a library in the fantasy section and you will 99.99999% hit a fantasy book that will be set in or mention either of those structures. But what are they really? What's the difference between them all? Are there any more examples of structures that would suit your WIP better? Are you using the right terms? Let's have a closer look.

Duchy

A Duchy is a small territory ruled by a Duke/Duchess. While Duchies can be found in kingdoms, some duchies were sovereign states in their own right. Duchies are usually small by land mass but some duchies such as Burgundy were extremely powerful and influential. Independent Duchies were usually apart of a kingdom but grew so powerful that they eventually broke away to become a sovereign state in their own right. An example would be modern day Luxembourg, historic Milan and Burgundy.

Principality

A principality is territory ruled by a Prince/Princess. A principality is typically smaller than a kingdom and in some instances, can be apart of a larger kingdom or be a sovereign state. Principalities have a history of having broken away from a larger kingdom or eventually becoming apart of a kingdom. A principality within a kingdom is ruled by a Prince/Princess, usually an heir of the monarch and can be used to train them up to assume the throne in the future. Examples include Monaco, Liechtenstein and Andorra.

Kingdom

A sovereign state/country that is ruled by ruling King or a Queen. A kingdom is much larger and more powerful than a principality. Kingdoms can be feudal, meaning they are ruled in a strict hierarchy or an autocracy where the monarch rules alone with minimal input from the government or constitutional where the monarch is more of a figurehead and the government has a good chunk of control. Examples include England, Thailand and modern day Spain.

Commonwealth

A Commonwealth isn't a popular choice in fantasy but it is an interesting structure. A Commonwealth in its most basic form is a collection of states that are linked by either a shared culture or history. A Commonwealth can be a politically power or an economic power, with every state allowed to participate as much as they like. Not one state leads the others, it is all one group of equals. A Commonwealth can be a good idea for a group of nations that are more powerful together with them keeping their own independence.

Federation

A Federation is a political structure that is made up of united states or countries that are under a single government but each state is still independent and rules itself. Each state can have different laws, different cultures and economies but they all answer to the single government. Examples include the United States of America.

Republic

A Republic is a territory that is ruled by leaders and heads of state that have been elected on merit and by choice of the people. Republics are not just countries but can also be much smaller areas such as cities. Republics are democratic in nature, with the people having a say in who leads them in accordance to a constitution. There are many kinds of Republic: presidential, parliamentary, federal, theocratic, unitary. Examples of Republics include the Republic of Ireland and the city of Florence.

Protectorate

A Protectorate is a country/region/territory that is independent but relies on a larger, more powerful state for protection either in a military or diplomatic sense. A Protectorate was often used by Empires in order to maintain control over an area without annexing it. There are many reasons a larger state and the protectorate would agree to this, mainly the protectorate is much smaller meaning it is far more vulnerable to attack or it has very little power when compared to other states. A Protectorate allows the territory some power to rule itself but the larger state may feel the need or desire to interfere in the dealings of the territory. Examples of protectorates include the client kingdoms of the Roman Empire like Egypt before its annexation and Puerto Rico.

Empire

An Empire is a collection of nations that are united under one sovereign head of state or government. An Empire is formed by one nation steadily taking control of other nations, either through straight invasion and colonization or acquiring them through marriage and other less violent ways. An Empire is powerful mainly because it can drum up more resources, more influence and more military power. An Empire might impose the traditions, beliefs and culture of its principal nation - the nation that started it all - onto its colonies for better control and feeling of uniformity. Empires never last, that is something to always remember. Empires will eventually fragment due to the vast size and sometimes revolt among the conquered states. Examples of empires include the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire.

So, thanks to a friend, I just discovered that in the Bible there were relations between angels and humans that resulted in giants called Nephilim. How would that work in the GO universe?

2010s wattpad clearly written by a middleschooler highschool AU but Al-An is the exact same bitch and his arc is just learning to work within the bullshit. He dedicates a Katty Perry song to Robin at the school talent show. Saves her from the bullies. And swoons seeing her her terrible pinterest outfits but hes still like “Systematically replacing your arteries for specialized PBC pypes would significantly improve your survival chances” and also still somehow got the ok to commit infanticide that one time.

Hovering

Summary: You get shot and Crosshair doesn't leave your side.

Pairing: Crosshair x f!Reader

Warnings: Blaster wound (non life threatening)

WC: 500

A/N: Y'all got me soft for Cross. This has been sitting in the drafts for a bit.

The blaster shot genuinely startled you. You weren’t expecting it. You thought you’d cleared all the clankers around you. The blast hits the left side of your abdomen and you go down immediately. 

You hear your name being shouted by every Batcher. They were clearly all immediately concerned. Crosshair reaches you first, though, shooting the last clanker.

“Hey, how about that shitty dodging?” Crosshair teases you, checking out the wound. 

“I know.” You cough a laugh, gasping in pain.

“Don’t laugh.” You can hear him practically smirking.

“Don’t make me laugh, then.” You try to smile through the pain up at him.

“How many times a day do you say ‘That’s not funny, Crosshair’?” He chuckles, obviously trying to keep the mood light.

You appreciate it. You know you’re not going to die, but the discomfort is definitely real.

Unable to help it, you laugh again and wince in pain again. “Ugh.” 

Crosshair shakes his head, clearly amused but you don’t miss the way that he’s crouching over you, trying to protect you from any hidden droids, waiting for reinforcement. 

“I’ve got ya!” Wrecker shouts, starting to gently pick you up. 

“I’m alright.” You tell Hunter as he approaches.

“Not looking so hot right now.” He shakes his head.

“Are you insinuating that you think I look hot at other times?” You tease him.

“Glad to see your humor is still intact.” Echo chuckles.

“I’m here.” Tech’s voice fills your ears from the Marauder.

Wrecker starts walking quickly toward the Marauder with you cradled in his arms. You’re trying to focus on something other than the embarrassment you’re feeling. You’ve never been shot before. You’re typically very stealthy and careful.

When you finally reach the ship, Wrecker lays you down on the bottom bunk. Tech allows Echo and Wrecker to fly so that he can come check you out.

“Is she going to be okay?” Crosshair asks Tech before Tech can even kneel down. 

Tech gives him an annoyed look and Crosshair takes off his helmet, sits it up on his bunk and then moves out of the way, still slightly hovering. He doesn’t take his eyes off you.

“Give it to me straight, doc.” You tease.

Tech smirks. “I think it’s a clean wound. Definitely missed all the important parts. Looks almost like it just hit the flesh. You’re definitely going to live.” 

He helps you sit up so that he can patch it up and gives you a shot for the pain. You notice Crosshair offering support by holding you up. You look up at him, giving him a grateful look.

“Get some rest.” Tech pats your knee and stands to go take over for Wrecker. 

Crosshair helps you lie back on Hunter’s bunk and sits on the edge of Echo’s bunk across from you.

“That was… a close one.” Crosshair tells you. “Glad you’re alright.”

“Why? Would you miss me if something really happened to me?” You grin over at him.

He rolls his eyes and leans back against the wall, crossing his arms. You fall asleep that way, staring at each other.
