    Think of your kingdom's name and features. Coming up with your kingdom's name might be a little hard; if you're having trouble, take some name ideas from the kingdom itself! For example if your kingdom has a huge forest, you could call it "Green Shadows". You may choose to do this last if you wish.

    Choose a name and rank for yourself. You may choose to use your real name(For example, King Matthew the Strong) or make up a whole new name(Queen Matharian the Honorable). Your rank, how high of a position you have in a society, can be anywhere ranging from a peasant to a king.
