A duchy (AKA, dukedom) is a polity comprised of a group of regions. I suppose its dictionary description summarizes it:
Duchy - The territory ruled by a duke or duchess; a dukedom
How to Create a Duchy
The option to create a new duchy can be found in the "politics" tab. Obviously it's for Rulers only. A new Duchy can only be created from Cities, Strongholds or Townsland regions which already have a Lord in place. The current Lord of that region will be the new Duke.
After creation, it no longer needs to include a city, stronghold or townsland. Or for that matter, it does not require any regions either. Lords of a duchy can freely pledge allegiance to other Dukes leaving the current one commanding no regions, if the Duke is not well liked.
Rulers have the option to dissolve Duchies that has no regions. They also have the option to rename Duchies, at a cost of 50 gold. Rulers are strongly advised to make sure their scribes are not too stupid to get the name of the new Duchy wrong.
