Kingdom Building

In this Living World Campaign, we use the Kingdom Building rules (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/kingdom-building/) with a few modifications. New Almas, as a new colony of Andoran, forces any new settlements to be a Republic, and also forces them to be part of the Andoran Kingdom. Thus, PCs may only start settlements that are part of Andoran.

In order to be allowed to build a settlement, a PC must have their reputation with the Kingdom of Andoran at rank 2. It is at that rank that the Kingdom of Andoran would offer a Charter (See Kingdom Building Rules) to the PC if they request one. Then, for each additional ranks, a PC may start an additional settlement.

At the first rank of reputation with the Kingdom of Andoran, PCs are allowed to start constructing their own buildings on Andoran soil. Prior to that, they may only rent buildings if any are available.

As for how fast time passes on Golarion, it is at a rather of 2 for 1, meaning that two days pass on Golarion when one day passes in real life.
