Palacetonia

History

Dear Leader was arrested in his previous Country for opposing the illegal Government over its plans for the torture of terrorist suspects.

After being bravely busted from prison by his party colleagues, he hid away on a tanker. Fog descended after 10 days at sea and continued for 40 days. When it has lifted, miraculously, there was land and Dear Leader along with the tanker crew settled upon it and named it Palacetonia.

When the population reached 100 million, there was a major reorganisation of the Nation to include 3 Provinces each with their own Governors. They are: Holmesdale; Norwood and Selhurst. A variant of English developed in the Selhurst Province has been adopted as one of the offical languages called Selhurstian
