The Kingdom of Chicago is the largest and most populous kingdom on the continent of [[North Illinois]], with a current population of 241,081. The Kingdom of Chicago can be confused with [[Chicago]], which is a city ''inside'' The Kingdom of Chicago. The president of the Kingdom of Chicago is [[Miss-Ter Ser Queen President]], which has been president since 1921. She is also the queen of Chicago since 1824. Kingdom of Chicago has been under the rule of the [[Oland Royal Family]] since 1382, and the family ruled even longer in [[The Illinoisan Empire]]. Although current leaders having the surname Simmsoland, they are direct descendants of the first Oland ([[Elliv Oland]]).  

The Kingdom of Chicago separated from [[The Illinoisan Empire]] after The Illinoisan Revolution. Chicago has the same leadership as the empire had, but "created" a new country to prevent public humiliation. The name of the country "Kingdom of Chicago" was named after the countries past [[Isley Oland|queen's]] pet cat named [[Chicago (cat)|Chicago]], this cat was the start of a large Chicagoian tradition of the queen of Chicago having a cat. 

Chicago is widely known for its disaster involving the city [[Chicago]], and the conflict following. The disaster started in 1837 when [[Lobsters]] released the Lobster Nuke onto the capital of Chicago, [[Chicago]], this started [[The Warm War]] and resulted in the capital being uninhabitable. This made [[Shelbyville]] be the unofficial capital of Chicago again. 

The Kingdom of Chicago is a relatively closed down country allowing minimal amounts of people to move/visit the country. They are opening up the country more and more since the end of dictatorship, and the rise of [[The Lobster Resistance]]. Countries which fund [[Joliet]] are allowed to send scientists which are guaranteed to be able to visit. 

== Politics ==
[[File:KingdomOfChicagoMap.png|thumb|Map of the Kingdom of Chicago]]
The Kingdom of Chicago was a '''dictatorship'''/"monarchy" from 1382-1720. This ruling pattern traces its origin from the conqueror [[Elliv Oland]] during [[The Illinoisan Empire]].  

In 1720, the '''semi-democratic system''' was put in place by [[Effie Oland]]. At the time the country was a dictatorship and nobody could leave, and punishments were severe. They changed it to be 1 elected president and the current monarch rule the country together. If their disparity between them, the public were allowed to vote on it. The president stays in power until the public votes for a new president. After majority wants a new president, anyone can begin a electoral campaign. After 6 months a vote will occur where everyone can vote for anyone in the country and a new president is elected.

It is unclear whether or not this system is still in place as [[Miss-Ter Ser Queen President]] was elected president while being the current monarch giving them all the power. A worrying fact is that [[Miss-Ter Ser Queen President]] reinstated a long-dead government agency called the [[Federal Bureau of Kingdom Security]], which was created to prevent revolution. If the queen president were to die, a new election for another president would be forced to occur, potentially being the only way of reintroducing democracy into the kingdom.

==== 1382 ====
After many countries in [[North Illinois]] became independent of [[The Illinoisan Empire]] due to the revolution, Kingdom of Chicago was formed.
