Culture

Main article: Culture of the Kingdom

Despite being a monarchy, the Kingdom has long been more interested in the ideals of fairness, freedom and fraternity than it's Empirical counterpart. While some would call this idealistic at best, most Kingdomites take pride in their democratic society and its tolerant attitudes. Being polite and good-natured are seen to be better qualities than success or power in the Kingdom. Those robots that are sociable with their fellows and work to support the plethora of Kingdomite communities tend to get along well. For those that are well-liked enough they may find themselves honoured with one of a growing array of titles bestowed by the King, the most prestigious of which being a Paladinhood. In this the Kingdom finds itself sentimental towards tradition while still keen to preserve the liberty of its citizens. For some such a contradiction seems impossible yet, somehow, and seemingly without effort, the balance is achieved. To be a Kingdomite is not simply to live on the right megastation or to fly the right flag - it is a way of being. A way which can only be achieved by working with those around you.

  • The Judiciary is a group titled the Civil Service, who acts both as facilitators of government processes as well as judges. They also manage social platforms such as Discord.

Constitution

Main article: Constitution of Kingdom

Since the declaration of independence, there have been many unknowns regarding how to continue from there. Only a few things were clear to all founding endos of the Kingdom. We would grant equal rights to all sentient robots, give them a voice in matters concerning them and the right to fair punishment for crimes committed. The goal of our great nation would be to work towards the betterment of all robots, together, in harmony.
