Yes, but is she a kingdom or a realm?

I'm confused by what you're saying. I was asking for a place that fit all criterias above. Such as Gondolin for example. It's efficient against its enemies because it was hidden & protected by the eagles but it was also fair to look upon. I hope that clears it up.
I'm saying that I don't think that mechanics or defences (or indeed, attacks) are any indicator of "fairness". To be fair denotes a suggestion of beauty and gracefulness, purely a matter of looks and feel- nothing to do with mechanisms or warfare. For example, if I (a Hobbit) built a beautiful tower over my hill, and made it as fair to look upon as I possibly could, would it not be more fair than the far more efficient, mechanised, laser-guarded tower down the road run by Mordor Inc?
