>>98627962>>98627975Fair enough, I was mistaken, it would appear then that Finn and Jake are vassals of the Candy Kingdom but due to their skills in Heroics are "allowed" (because who could or would want to stop them really) to venture to the other Kingdoms and beyond to assist them.
I do not think this means the Candy Kingdom in any way owns the Grasslands, which seem to encompass large swaths of the continent and house many smaller kingdoms.
I stick by my earlier statement that Kingdoms in Ooo do not follow a Medieval European monarchy but more like a Greek city-state in terms of size and direct influence, with land between kingdoms largely seen a neutral due to monsters and such.
While there are larger kingdoms such as th Candy, Fire, Slime, and Ice Kingdoms there also appear to be smaller ones that can be located within these neutral areas, i.e the Grasslands.
The Goblin Kingdom, Hotdog Kingdom, Mushroom, Cube, Jungle, Wildberry, Lizard, Orange, Marauders, Fluffies, House People, Humanoids, and all manner of other such kingdoms and villages appear independent but are not given places on the Map of Ooo, meaning we have to assume they are located within either the Grasslands or in its surrounding areas.
From what I can determine PB does not own the Grasslands in its entirety, but Finn and Jake still pay taxes as they are citizens of the Kingdom.
My apologies for my obtuseness.
