I am writing a character right now, though I have questions regarding government. Seeing that there are knights, I assume that whatever kingdoms that are in this world are feudalistic. If not, what type of government would run what's left of society? It would help me write my character.

Yep, the various realms of the world are ruled under feudalism, or close analogues. There might be a few Venice-style independent trading ports scattered along the coast, but for the most part it's kings and lords and barons and whatnot.
