Cultural Standard
Most clans of this classification tend to stress a special significance to having a cultural-standard, devising for themselves a unique theme or cultural-standard. This can be seen in-game through various forms play, including what is commonly known as role-play and theme-play; where a player becomes a striking embodiment of their character and national culture, acting in accordance to the norms, etiquette and their given role within their respective nation or society. This becomes even more profound on the RuneScape Forums.
Although it is largely a main aspect of these clans, it is not required of players to participate in these alternative forms of gameplay.
Government
These clans aim to implore a heavy emphasis on the general style of their nation, elaborating upon every minuscule detail, including the layout of their governing system. Governing systems are different for every nation and culture; they can be basic, simple to understand, or sophisticated and complex. Some prefer having a hierarchical form of government, favoring that of a monarchy or despotism. Other nations may lead in rhythm to the voice of their people, valuing a democratic process that is ensured via a written constitution or social contract. There are many, many different forms of government; these are only a few I decided to touch upon.
In short, Territorial, Theme-based Clans (TTC) act as real nations in Gielinorian standards,
of their own right.
