In my latest novel, I have created a fantasy world and would like to create a custom map of said world. However, I do not know how realms, kingdoms, cities, towns and villages all fit into it. My understanding is as follows: - Countries contain realms; - Realms contain kingdoms; - Kingdoms contain cities; - Cities contain towns; and - Villages are independent of towns Is this correct? Can I refer to those five bullet points above as my set-in-stone guide from here on? If not - or even just to learn more on the topic - are there any articles or examples that can guide me here as I would really like to learn this in order for me to progress with my novel?
