A bit. But it does not need to be. The Kingdom of God is anywhere God is recognized as King and all that implies. Heaven always has been, of course, the Kingdom of God. Christians are working to bring about the Kingdom of God on Earth as is shown when be pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. With love in Christ.

A bit. You tend to find that in made up stories with many interpretations. Take Santa Clause, for example. Does he have a button nose and live on the North Pole? Or not? Is his name St Nick, Santa Clause, Chris Cringle... all 3? Is he some form of triune toymaker? A "trinity", if you will? If his workshop employs elves to make all the toys, how come they look exactly like name brands at Toys R Us? And what about adult gifts? You see, only fact based stories can hope to be cleared up with investigation as facts reveal themselves. With made up stories everyone's got their own version and things just keep getting muddier.

i have been studying the bible for quite a while now, and from what i read and understand god's kingdom is what you could consider a governmet. where jesus is the "president". when people say the lords prayer they ask for god's kingdom to come many don't know what that means, but what i understand is your asking god for his kingdom to come and ruile the earth, it makes absolute sence. if god's kingdom is a place in heaven you go when you die why then would you pray for it to come, and not pray that you go there?

The question of "What is the kingdom of God?" is an important one because it's the thing Jesus always seemed to be speaking about throughout the gospels. Many have assumed that the kingdom of God is heaven because Luke uses the words "Kingdom of Heaven" inter-changeably, but that's quite what it means. There is no explicit explanation of what exactly Jesus means by "the coming of the Kingdom of God." It seems as though in that historical context, everyone basically knew what he meant. Catholics say that the "kingdom of God" is the church, God's representation on Earth- and this is quite a plausible answer. However, this explanation does not explain the urgency with which Jesus preached its coming. If the kingdom was the church, he would not need to warn people of its coming. Obviously the coming of kingdom of God was going to be a horrible thing for some people. New Age fanaticists and Spiritualists will say that the "coming of the kingdom of God" was an indication that a new paradigm of enlightenment and empowering thought was to sweep the human race, evolving us into a united and happy race- but as often the case with New Agers, this explanation pays almost no attention to Jesus' socio-historical context or anything else Jesus ever preached in the gospels. Basically when taking the Old Testament into account, it seems as though the way the first century Israelites would have understood the "kingdom of God", is as a new Davidic Reign that would take place- where God would rule them as King. However, this does not suggest that this will be a government on Earth. The bible points to a coming judgement where all humanity will be damned for their sin, save the few that have been saved through God's grace. It seems then that this Reign of the Kingdom will take place when the sin of the world has been dealt with. When Christians pray that "God's kingdom come" they are praying for God's just judgement of the world to come quickly so that he may be glorified.
