kingdom

realm, empire, land, country, reign, rule, monarchy, domain, dominion, nation, state, world, sovereignty, principality, territory, region, protectorate, fief, commonwealth, republic, world. "Reign," "realm," and "dominion" are particularly appropriate for the kingdom of God. "Kindom" is sometimes used to express the meaning of "kingdom" without the triumphal and male overtones. "World" can be used in quasi-scientific uses, for example, the animal, mineral, and plant worlds (but retain the biology term "kingdom" in scientific writing). During the reigns of even the most powerful and influential queens (for example, Queen Elizabeth I), no one ever used the word "queendom."
