A neumono becomes queen by blunt force of personality. She, or rarely a king, is one with such a strong empathic link that other neumono are drawn to her and form a hive, to make a simplification. The hive shortly becomes self sufficient, and will continue even if the queen should die or somehow be unavailable.
If there is no queen in an already existing hive, then another neumono may take the lead again, by sheer personality force, but also by how well she matches in with the hive already. Usurpation of an existing queen is possible, but very rare.
No matter what, the queen acts as the baseline for the entire hive's personality and thought patters. In many ways, she is treated as the entire hive in a single embodiment. In compassionate hives, the queen is amongst the most generous. In combat hives, the queen is among the toughest of our race.
There used to be other heirarchy positions in previous ages, but those were purely ceremonial and artificially made. At present, there is only the queen or king, and everyone else.
