Sure. First let’s start with the pasukim:

?????????????? ???-???????, ????????????-?????: ???? ????? ???????? ???-???????, ???????? ??????.

(Bamidbar 33:53)

??????? ??????? ??? ????????, ????????? ???????????? ??? ?????????, ???-????? ????????? ????????, ????????????? ?????????? ???????

(Yeshayahu 62:1)

Now to the Ramban. In the back of sefer haMitzvos, the Rambam has a collection of mitzvos the Rambam “forgot,” and mitzvah 4 there says that you should make a medina.

The Rambam, Hilchos Milachim perek aleph halacha aleph says you need to appoint a king upon entering the land.

Need I go on?
