While Monsters are generally autonomous, many do claim territory of a given size. Monsters who Claim a territory leave a mark around its perimeter that can be sensed by anyone Marked. This territory rarely extends past a few acres of wilderness or a small lot in a city for a single Monster.
A small group of Monsters, generically called a Troupe, together can have a larger parcel of land ranging to a small geographic region of wilderness or a few city blocks. Werewolf Troupes are called Packs and are always led by an Alpha. Vampire Troupes are called Syndicates, Sorcerers are called Circles, etc.
Various Troupes may ally together to form Counsels. Counsels themselves have no claim to any sort of territory - they are simply a coordination of various Troupes to help coordinate matters between Troupes when issues cross bounds of territories.
Most large geographic areas also have a Great Counsel of powerful Monsters that claim no territory, but ensure that the Laws are followed. North America, for example, is ruled by Thirteen different Counsels.
In times of dire need, a representative from several Great Counsels will meet in what is known as a Convention.
