The Golden Cheese Kingdom is a kingdom founded by Golden Cheese Cookie.

This kingdom is split into two realities: one in the real-world, deserted sands of the Parmesan Desert, and one in the idyllic, digital Golden City of fallen souls.

The kingdom is inspired largely by the culture of ancient Egypt with perhaps some influence from Mesoamerica, these being reflected in its sun-bird-god worship and hidden golden city respectively. The kingdom's futuristic technology is inspired by ancient Egypt's notably-advanced society compared to its peers, while its endless wealth is based on the "rich," flavorful nature of cheese.

Unlike the other kingdoms of Cookie Run: Kingdom, the Golden Cheese Kingdom underwent a large-scale revamping of its original concepts seen in The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom; much of that featured in the art book is now considered inaccurate to the game's canon.

Golden Cheese Kingdom

The real-world Golden Cheese Kingdom is a land of naught. Its empty palace halls sit in silence, the citizens all being killed off in the Dark Flour War. All that remains are the souls of those killed kept safe in sarcophagi and the Cheesebirds working away in the adjacent mines. The Cheesebirds endlessly mine for cheese minerals while waiting for their queen to return, while The Golden City's servers and the cheese wheel containers of the lost citizen's souls are maintained by other dedicated Cheesebirds—though a soul or two may slip through the cracks.

The Golden City

A world woven of illusions and regrets

In stark contrast to the Golden Cheese Kingdom of the physical world, the Golden City is teeming with life and nurtures no pain or sorrow. This digital world artificially supports the "lives" of the lost Golden Cheese Kingdom citizens, allowing their souls to continue to exist in a perfect world where all their desires are met forever. With hedonism and greed at its very core, this world exists due to Golden Cheese Cookie's grief-driven denial to let her citizens—her most valuable treasures—be lost.

Cultural Inspiration

The Golden Cheese Kingdom and the Golden City are inspired by Ancient Egyptian religious architecture, with depicted structures and artwork resembling many of the famous features of Ancient Egypt such as the Great Pyramids of Giza and logographic system of writing hieroglyphs.

The Golden Cheese Kingdom possesses qualities of many different eras of Ancient Egyptian history whose key qualities such as polytheism and temples strongly persisted before the common era. It would be reductive to elect inspiration to one era of Egyptian history, but the eras of the Ptolemic Empire and Roman annexation are considerable candidates due to Golden Cheese Cookie's resemblance to archetypal Cleopatra and the presence of a Colosseum in the Golden City.

Development

For a collection of the information on the previous Golden Cheese Kingdom iteration, see Golden Cheese Kingdom/Artbook.

The Golden Cheese Kingdom, as seen in The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom, was initially staked as a land whose only citizens were Cheesebirds. The Cheesebirds worshiped Golden Cheese Cookie as their golden goddess; while this detail of worship remains the same in the final version of the kingdom, this initial pass also had denizens donate all of their gold to the queen and partake in endless festivals and holidays all dedicated to revering her.

All of this and more cast the Ancient Hero in a highly unfavorable light that made her feel hardly like a hero at all; thus, her kingdom, its traditions, and its queen herself were revamped into the current iteration of the Golden Cheese Kingdom.
