Anglisc Landbit' is a country on the isle of Anglisc Landbit, which is to the west of Ireland. It is sparsly populated and not known for its military might or economic prowess. It is, however, known for its use of Anglish, the devoutness of its people, and its rough history.
History of Anglisc Landbit
The Arrival
Anglisc Lanbit was founded in 1042 anno dommini by a group of Englishmen who were shipwrecked on the island. It is almost miraculous that the people came to Anglisc Landbit; the island is of considerable distance from Ireland. The group, which was sailing to Ireland but got lost in a terrible storm, included women and children and allowed the original people to reproduce. Several other ships in similar shipwrecks occured, and by 1066, the year of the Norman conquest of England, Anglisc Landbit had roughly 1,000 people. This number continued to grow as the population reproduced and the occasional shipwreck brought yet more people into Anglisc Landbit. It is through these occasional shipwrecks, occuring on average once every fifty years, that the people of the island learned about the outside world.
The Founding of Meriggsburg
Merrigsburg, the first town on Anglisc Landbit, was founded in 1042 with the arrival of the first shipwreck. The wood from the old ship was used to build the first buildings. With around a thousand people settling on the island by 1066, nearly all in Meriggsburg, the town was of an intermediate size. Around this time, the first town leader, whose kin ultimately became the House of Merigg, James of Merigg, arose and proclaimed that Merrigsburg needed order. James was a street preacher, having no church, and in his sermons he often placed political arguments for a central authority in the haphazardly built town. He proposed the use of folcsmight, or democracy, to determine who would be in charge. Running uncontested, James was proclaimed Greatfolcðingman of Merrigsburg on his order. He created the Folcðing, or congress, and had the people elect ten folcðingmen. These folcðingmen were to act as James's aides, helping ensure the rule of law.
James's acts included the reconstruction of parts of Meriggsburg as a kind of city planning. The streets were haphazard and uncoordinated, and so they were laid out on a grid. At the center of town, a new church and towncenter were built. Though modest, these improvements made James and his descendents the Greatfolcðingman for years to come.
