Worldbuilding

Hmmm you may have redeemed yourself. I'll answer and trust you to not do cheap low-effort teardowns or sarcasm.

For starters, the tone is silly and whimsical, so it'll fail a really hard-nosed political analysis. It's about the realism-level of Shrek. I can't do what lurkerlady said and get rid of the monarchs coz I want to play with the silly tropes of castles and ballrooms and whatnot.

The Good Guy kingdom have a central state that implements most of the demands in The Communist Manifesto: land tax, nationalisation of the banks. It uses this to fund a welfare state. (That is historically inaccurate: absolute monarchies and welfare states are fairly different things, except for maybe the Inca. But not going for realism.)

There's no legal wage-labour, instead worker-owned co-operatives like Yugoslavia. The bourgeoisie try to de-regulate this, and illegal wage-labour does happen under the table. In reality, craft-guilds were not necessarily socialist, but in its ideal form the guild-model can approach a kind of socialism. And the idea of banning wage-labour by non-profit-sharing members is historically attested: "Illegal work did not pass unnoticed by authorities at the time, and are documented by police reports and guild complaints. Guild officers were able to arrest people who were working in the trade without guild credentials, and could use municipal law enforcement to aid them in the arrest." – historical guilds could/should have been more profit-sharing than they really were, especially with non-master-members.

The antagonists include the emerging bourgeoisie. Usury is illegal and they try to conspire and get the crown to legalise it. This compares to how actually the bourgeoisie gained wealth and conspired against the monarchy. The difference here is that the monarch has the class interests of the common people at heart, which I happily admit is unrealistic. The bourgeoisie wants to set up an extractive rentseeking system: the aristocracy wants to keep extracting surplus-value mostly for funding welfare+defense+infrastructure. (Plus admittedly they keep a bit for their own luxury, but imagine the entire GDP gets taxed at 20%, and from that about fifty people are kept in luxury; it's a much lower rate-of-exploitation than capitalism.)

Another antagonist is foreign invading slavers, who are well-organised like Romans. The Primrose Guard will have to fight them off using Vietcong tactics.

Some aristocrats are less virtuous than others, and consider getting in cahoots with the bourgeoisie or the foreign imperialists. Political intrigue, divided loyalties, back-and-forth.

So it's like: benevolent welfare-monarch (Inca is the closest historical example, but this is pure imaginative fiction and not history) sustaining co-operativism+welfare+nonslavery, versus the bourgeoisie and slave-trading imperialists.

The critique that monarchs are not in reality benevolent is valid, but this is not supposed to resemble reality.

An orthodox Marxist take would be Monarchy>Capitalism>Communism. In this fictional fantasy lie, the Monarchy is fighting the capitalists FOR communism.

The central state does what Charles Tilly says a state does: levies taxes and maintains itself. It largely leaves the individual alone and focuses on tax, defense, welfare, and infrastructure – the tributary system of the pax romana or the pax mongolica (plus welfare). The way Italian city-states treated the contado might be an analogy here but I need to read more Jacob Burckhardt, Gene A. Brucker, and Lauro Martines to find out.

The state does not do what Michel Foucault says the modern state does: enforce justice on the individual. The villages within the kingdom run their own affairs (much like the barbarian villages in Kropotkin's Mutual Aid with community-justice) and pay the protection racket in gold and soldiers. Kropotkin says that the model of barbarian villages gave way to the model of walled cities when defense required stone walls. The rural contado of the kingdom are the barbarian villages, while the central state is the walled city that maintains the roads and organises violent defense. Adding welfare to that village-state relationship is a fantasy.

One neighbouring realm (less built so far) may be an anarch like the Old Swiss Confederacy or the Frisian Freedom, I haven't decided yet.
