How to use it
Match the government
Pick the form that fits the politics: Empire for sprawl, Republic for merchants, Marches for a dangerous border.
Keep the style consistent
Neighboring realms usually share a language. Lock the style for a region so the map hangs together.
Give rivals similar names
Two kingdoms that split from one realm can share a root, which hints at an old war.
Example kingdom names
Classic: Cedorath Dominion, Queendom of Calethanth, Kingdom of Draithia, Republic of Saraedor, The Galisia Empire, Grand Duchy of Noreth, Kingdom of Coranheim, Theocracy of Brynenara.
Northern and desert: The Eikvang Marches, The Hralund Empire, The Sneborg Confederacy, Eikstrand, Eylund, Skavik, Hrafnfell, Kingdom of Bjorberg.
What a realm's name tells you
The form of the name says how a place is governed before anyone explains it: a Kingdom has a crown, a Duchy owes it to someone bigger, a Theocracy answers to priests, and the Free Cities answer to nobody. The root word carries the culture, so pair a Norse root with a Jarldom or a desert root with a Sultanate.
