Creating a campaign is a big job, but almost every GM eventually wants to tackle it. How do you get started? The key is to start small and slowly expand over time. The last article addressed creating a city-based campaign. A realm-based campaign can be created either after the adventurers begin to venture outside of the city, or completely on its own
REALM CAMPAIGNS
A realm is an area of land that can be as large as a kingdom or state or as small as a county. A realm is not usually an entire country unless the country is relatively small and homogenous. Neither is it usually an entire continent, unless the continent is relatively small. The key is to keep the realm relatively homogenous with regard to government and culture; otherwise, you're going to confuse yourself when you're just starting out.
