After reading Survival Union's post earlier today announcing their new senators I realized there's not a lot of statecraft going on within different nations or in their interactions with each other. So here's how Amani Kingdom as a state entity is organized around its monarchy and social hierarchy.

From the Amani subreddit sidebar:

We are a Kingdom. This means that we are led by our King who is at the top of the hierarchy. The King will lead the nation from the capital, other cities will be founded too which can be led by Advisors, Dukes or Knights

The Amani hierarchy is a 4 tiered system consisting of, in order: The King, The Upper Nobility, The Lesser Nobility, and the Common People.

• The King is the highest authority in the kingdom. He provides direction and leadership. Major decisions regarding diplomacy, warfare, and internal policy must be made by or approved by the king.

• The Upper Nobility consists of members with the title of Duke. Dukes are given important managerial positions such as city mayors, territorial governors, and minister posts for the nation under appointment from the king. Upper nobles also receive privileges such as access to high level citadel groups including beacons, vaults, and valuables storage. In the future, Duke titles may be connected to land stewardship for the kingdom.

• The Lesser Nobility consists of members with the title of Knight. Knights are also given important managerial positions, although these positions are generally over specific tasks. These tasks can include projects, direct service under a duke, and notably military leadership. In the case of military leadership, knights manage formal military units by ensuring their upkeep, training, and providing combat direction. However, as military leaders knights may not arm or deploy their units without the express order or permission of the King or relevant Duke. While Knights do not receive special privileges like Dukes, they still hold official authority.

• The Common People serve as the base of Amani society. Their role in the government is limited to following laws and directives passed down from the King. Government involvement can be found through service in a military unit under a knight and employment in a government project. Commoners are not expected to give courtesies to nobility beyond obeying official authority.

Movement up and down the hierarchy can only take place through promotion or demotion by the King. Promotions/demotions are considered based displayed potential, actual performance, and loyalty.

The Amani state is built on the King providing direction and decisions for the nation. The nobility fills the management role of ensuring the King's directives and decisions are fulfilled. Upper Nobles perform large scale management and Lesser Nobles perform mirco-scale management. In this way the Amani Kingdom has an official and functional state entity.
