You may be looking for Dwarf fortress mode.

Dwarves live in fortresses - usually underground complexes with all the required buildings for dwarven living. They're named in a specific manner.

To tell what your "rank" your fortress has, look on the nobles screen, if you have the manager it should say X manager where X is your fortress "rank". The other option is to stroke z and look at the top left corner where your fortresses rank and name are.
