Throne: This link provides general information about your province.
Council: This shows how your province is running. There are several links to view
Affairs of the State: General information about your province, including, peasants, some important figures and information about your status. This page is important in telling you if you are starving, and how your resources have changed from recent times.
Civilian Affairs: This page mentions how happy your peasants are. The happier your peasants are, the more efficiently your province runs. At the bottom of the page, there are some comments on how your peasants feel. If you counter any negative messages, your happiness should stay fairly stable.
Military Affairs: This tells you where your armies are, and what forces you have training.
Internal Affairs: This shows what buildings you currently have, and which ones are being built.
Arts & Sciences: This shows what science points you have, but it is probably better to use the "Science" link to show you what bonuses you are receiving.
Mystic Affairs: This shows what spells are currently cast on you, and how long until they wear off.
Our History: This page provides some interesting information about your records, but is in fact, fairly useless.
Kingdom Growth: This page has graphs of the growth of your kingdom by Net worth, Honor and Land. This can be important to see how wars or peace times affect your growth.
Forums
It is important to visit the forums regularly. This is where almost all information is posted about occurrences in your kingdom. As Utopia is a kingdom orientated game, communication is vital, so receiving information by the forum, and posting regularly is a must
Politics
This is a page where you can monitor who has the title of King or Queen, and has certain powers that normal provinces don't. It is important that you vote for the member whom you believe would be the best leader.
Relations
This page shows what relations you have with certain Kingdoms. It can show several things.
Peace: Attacking provinces in these kingdoms will be more difficult.
Hostiles: Attacking these will be slightly easier, and could degrade into war
War: if a war is raging, it is highly recommended that all attacks occur against that particular enemy, as the gains are significantly better than others. Also there is a meter which show who is winning the war. It is important to control this bar in order to achieve those precious "war wins"
The Kingdom
This page shows information about every kingdom in the game. It can show you who is in your kingdom, and roughly their status, and also information from other Kingdoms. To switch to other kingdoms, retype in the co ordinates at the top, and click "select Kingdom". This is important for finding suitable targets to attack.
The Paper & Last Month
