Clan can consist of 5 to 100 members. If a clan has less than 5 members, it has a status "__Registering__" and isn't considered a full value clan. Such Clans are shown in grey in ratings.\\

There are two types of Clans: [Monarchic|Monarchic] and [Democratic|Democratic].

Each increase of Clan Level requires a certain contribution of Gold from Clan Members. Only players who reached 10,000,000 points of the Main Rating can contribute to Clan development. Contributions are made by clicking the "Contribute" button depicting Gold in the "Clans" tab.\\

Clans are [Monarchic|Monarchic] by default. Beginning from level 3 a Clan can be transformed into [Democratic|Democratic].\\
