Oh, there's tons of articles, theories, strategies, methods, and psychological reports on how to best start your own clan. They go in to everything from psychological mind sets and how to deal with each type of mind set your members may have, theories on the best ways to start clans, tons of articles for beginners, different strategies of starting and recruiting for your clan, leading methodologies for the leaders, governmental types and how they'll have an impact on the members. So much more. Don't worry though, you don't have to have a PHd to understand it, although the articles and reports are very long, it's in easy to understand English.

One thing about clans: Names are sacred. People have sued each other over them, they've hired lawyers to copy right their name, paid money for Incorporating their clan, etc. But it never hurts to try!
