Realmwall

Vote from anywhere. Approved recipes go to the art centers; the winning drawing puts an item into circulation.

Design a recipe: pick what goes in, what comes out (existing items or brand-new ones), and where it can be crafted.

Approved items need art before they go into circulation. Pick one and draw it; everyone votes on the drawings.

The Herald (the most reliable player) keeps the roll and runs elections. Every election the top devices by score fill up to ten Council seats, with a 15% margin needed to unseat a sitting member. Each kingdom is hosted by one council member, who runs its simulation and streams it to the players inside; kingdoms are balanced across seats by population and score. Walking through a gate hands you from one court to the next. Hosts send a snapshot of their kingdom to the Herald every 3 seconds, so if a host vanishes the kingdom is restored on another member.

Growth. When a kingdom holds too many people, a wall rises down its middle with a gate in it, and each half becomes its own kingdom with its own court — on a different council member, and the council grows a seat if needed. Halves can split again, down to a quarter of a quarter. When two halves empty out, the wall comes down and they merge again. And when the whole realm passes 96 players per kingdom, a brand-new kingdom rises at the frontier, opening gates in its neighbours' outer walls.
