kingdom

Sovereign's entire territory

A kingdom is a territory ruled by a king or queen.

The word extends to any realm or domain: the kingdom of heaven, the animal kingdom.

In biology, kingdom is the highest taxonomic rank, grouping organisms by fundamental characteristics—plants, animals, fungi.

Figuratively, someone's kingdom is their sphere of control or expertise: the kitchen was her kingdom.
