Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any insight as to how you would go about writing a kingdom-building story? Or maybe just a City-State? Like, maybe some links or perhaps just some general tips and hints?
I want this question answered with this aforementioned hypothetical scenario kept in mind also btw:
You and several hundred people wake up in a different realm that already has established city-states or kingdoms and whatnot. Now, the infrastructure is already in place, now it just needs to be maintained. You and these several hundred people are going to be integrated into the day-to-day "cogs" of the kingdom/city and its daily functioning.
So, since everything is already built, or at least there is a stable foundation if nothing else, how and what knowledge/tips would be useful in improving the existing state infrastructure, or at least keeping it maintained. Also, the technological level is probably around the medieval era, but toss in the existence of magic, (all based off of the 6 Elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Dark), and so on...
Is this answerable or have I made it needlessly complicated?
