Are there any kingdoms today? Yes. There are currently 36 constitutional kingdoms, one absolute theocratic kingdom, and 5 absolute kingdoms.
"a politically organized community or major territorial unit having a monarchical form of government headed by a king or queen"
The kingdom that dominates public consciousness is the United Kingdom. What a political and social reach that one has.
Can the Vatican City be a kingdom? It is termed an Absolute Theocracy. It falls into the second definition: the spiritual reign or authority of God.
Kingdom seems like a structure from the past along with a video game of the present. I wonder how many video games have kingdom in the name or as part of the structure of the game.
There are all kinds of Kingdom video games - there is even a Kingdom Come. There is a Virtual Vatican where the video game lets you play Pope. or if it is a video game, is it now kingdom with no capitalization?
So here we are at Disney Orlando - home of the Magic Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom - the other parks lack the kingdom designation.
