You have to remember that the intier Oddworld Quintology is bassed in Mudos, So it is like Mudos is their intier world. If you look at our intier world you will see that we have no centeral governing body and that only a hand full of people at any time have been pulling all the strings, And they always use fear and money which equals power. If you where to replace 'a hand full of people' with 'a hand full Queens' our world is just like Oddworld.

Actually, the entire Quintology is not necessarily set in Mudos. Lorne has said that they will explore all the corners of Oddworld... And Mudos is not "like the whole world", since it is only about the size of Nigeria; It is a Country, not a World.
Kristen: I know Lorne said this, but I don't think he was referring to the Government, he was referring to things in general. For example, there is nothing to stop a woman becoming Prime Minister [indeed, it has happened], but many would still claim that the world is run by men... I expect the same is true of Oddworld...
Besides, by my theory, the Queens
do control Mudos. The only difference is that they do this via some kind of puppet government. One point I have only just thought of: The Queen
s do not rule Oddworld. Sam and Skillya are clearly subordinate to Maggie, and Maggie is clearly subordinate to someone else. If it
is a Queen who
directly rules Mudos, it is likely to be the Khanzumer Queen. But like I say, I don't think he meant that the Queens formed the government, just that they controlled everything.
