Q: Say that I start my game as the WHITE army and my army also controls the PINK army. In the course of my game, I have a PINK pawn sitting on k9 and it crosses the promotion line, to rest on j9. Does my pawn promote to a PINK queen? Or a WHITE queen?*
A: You promote within the same color. Your queen would be a PINK queen.
Pawns which move into the center 4x4 grid must be promoted to a higher piece. Normally, this would be a queen, rook, bishop, or knight, but this choice can also be a king, which constitutes a regime change, and is discussed in the "Regime Change" section on page 4 of the rules.
* "Queen" being the piece that I want to promote to.
