Beanbean Kingdom

The Beanbean Kingdom (FR: Royaume Végésia) is a major kingdom which shares its northeastern border with the Mushroom Kingdom. While relatively small compared to its neighbor, the Beanbean Kingdom is still expansive. The kingdom is great enough to encompass a variety of natural formations, including dry mountains and valleys, a forested area, and a large portion of the neighboring sea. Ruled by Queen Bean with the assistance of her son, Prince Peasley, and her lady at court, Lady Lima.

Government
The Beanbean Kingdom's government is a monarchy, headed by Queen Bean. In addition to making decisions on a national level, the government also controls the military and presides over international relations. Based out of Beanbean Castle in Beanbean Castle Town, the government extends its influence throughout the kingdom through various political and military means.

Political Process
Political power in the kingdom is currently divided between three individuals. Queen Bean holds absolute power as queen of the kingdom. Her son, Prince Peasley, confers with his mother regarding political situation and takes part in secret missions when the need arises. Additionally, Queen Bean holds a female court. Her lady at court is Lady Lima, who largely stays by the queen's side, watching over her every need and assisting politically when needed.

The government operates from Beanbean Castle. Special meetings regarding current issues are held in Queen Bean's thrown room. Discussions regarding events and possible solutions are discussed by the queen and any other relevant party present. Usually, these meetings include the queen and Lady Lima. Occasionally prince Peasley will also be present.

Military
The government organizes and operates a group of armored soldiers. Soldiers are employed as guards of government institutions and persons. During times of crisis, they may be employed for special missions. Each soldier wears a metal helmet and breastplate for protection. For battle, a soldier uses a javelin and shield.

Economy
The Beanbean Kingdom utilizes a market-based economy, much like the Mushroom Kingdom. People make a living by providing goods and/or services to others in exchange for tender, either in the form of Beanbean Coins or otherwise. This tender is then used to purchase goods and/or services from a different individual or to build up one's own ability to provide goods and/or services, creating a cyclical nature to the process.

Beanbean Coins are the official legal tender of the kingdom. These coins boast a much higher monetary value than the coins of the Mushroom Kingdom. The exact exchange rate between the two is subject to change rapidly.

Primarily, physical goods are brought to consumers through shops, such as the clothing and item shops in Beanbean Castle Town or the Little Fungitown shop. Each shopkeeper utilizes his or her own sources for obtaining items, and as a result, selection and prices vary throughout the kingdom. Most shops both buy and sell goods. Like the selling price of an item, the buying price varies from shop to shop.

The service economy is typically vaster as it includes both organizations, such as Beanbean Air, and individuals, such as the photographer who resides in the castle town's park. Tourism, one of the Beanbean Kingdom's largest draws, is included in this sector.
