 The SCA was not originally a purely historical society, with early personas pulling from fantasy as much as history.  As the SCA evolved, however, it settled into a focus on historical recreation.
+=====Geography=====
+The area where branches of the SCA exist is known as the [[Knowne World]].  The Knowne World is divided into twenty [[branches:kingdom:start|kingdoms]].  Eighteen of these kingdoms are in North America, with Australia and New Zealand forming a Kingdom and Europe forming a Kingdom.
+=====Activities=====
+Within the SCA, one can find people recreating almost every part of the Middle Ages.  Activities can be broadly classified into [[activities:martial:start|martial activities]], such as armored combat and archery; [[activities:arts_sciences:start|arts and sciences]], such as sewing, bardic, and illumination; and [[activities:service:start]] to the society. Regular [[activities:events:start]] are held, where members gather, enter tournaments, and share their knowledge.
+=====Governance=====
+The Society as a whole is governed by a [[scaism:imperium|Board of Directors]], elected by the membership. Board members are assigned various specific responsibilities, including assignment to a specific Kingdom or Kingdoms as an advocate and monitor. Each Kingdom has a Board member assigned to it.
+The Steward of the Society acts as the SCA's Chief Operating Officer. The Steward is appointed by the Board of Directors.
