The Commonwealth of British Londinium, Arabic, ثحع ضهممهنشعالتح هف پريتيسح ❊هندينيوم, is an advanced constitutional monarchy in Great Britain and Ireland.

History

The history of British Londinium is long and colourful, and can be split into five periods: the Era of Tyranny, the War of Sovereignty, the Anarchy, the Age of Enlightenment, and the New Commonwealth.

Era of Tyranny

British Londinium had long prospered quietly and peacefully along the coast of the British Isles. In 1329, scouts from the Empire of South Albion first discovered British Londinium. This militaristic country quickly dispatched thousands of elite men-at-arms; they rapidly seized the cities of Westminster, Lundenwic, and Kensington. The capital, Londinium, fell soon after. King Djoser, ruler of South Albion, was not kind to British Londinium - their people brutally opressed, their women exported to South Albion as sexual slaves, and their children arbitrarily executed. The rich and vibrant culture of British Londinium was smothered by South Albion's rule.

War of Sovereignty

In 1497, a small insurgent group, the Swains of Freedom, began to form in the countryside, where South Albion's rule was diminished. The Swains started to raid South Albionian arms caches, disguised as soldiers of fortune from North Albion. However, in 1501, the leader of the Swains of Freedom, Alb, was captured by a South Albionian soldier, and had information about the Swains tortured out of him. King Bahurion, finally having learnt of the rebel's existence, deployed his finest Royal Guardsmen to British Londinium. They were stationed in every city, and oppressed Londiniumers even more. In December 1502, the Swains' remnants encouraged widespread revolt in British Londinium. Civilians and freedom fighters alike slaughtered every single South Albionian in British Londinium.

King Bahurion, in response, began the deployment of his newly created musket units in early 1503. The 1st S. Albionian Musket Division assaulted the city of Lundenwic, and murdered the majority of its denizens. To this day, this is known as the Lundenwic Genocide.

This carnage inspired the rebirth of the Swains of Freedom; their numbers swelled, and a new leader, General Xavier Pulizzeri, emerged. General Pulizzeri, as his first act as the leader of the insurgent forces, led a small team of commandos to South Albion's capital, Warbion, and abducted the king's top scientist. The Swains tapped his knowledge, and began production of cannons and rather modernised rifles.

From 1503 to 1520, the War of Sovereignty continued, killing millions. The conflict spilt over borders, engulfing North Albion, the Republic of Three Red Legs, the United States of Ocean Palm Trees, and the Constitutional Monarchy of British Oxfordshire in conflict.

In 1520, General Pulizzeri saw the need to end the conflict. He marshalled a massive army, numbering at least 100,000, to invade South Albion. By 1521, Pulizzeri had seized all of South Albion, laid it to waste, liquidated countless South Albionians, executed King Bahurion, claimed South Albion in the name of British Londinium, and declared British Londinium's sovereignty. Most famously, General Pulizzeri created a "Forest of the Impaled" out of South Albion's royal court and bureaucracy.

The Anarchy

Age of Enlightenment

New Commonwealth

However, decay began to set in the government. By early 2004, the bureaucracy of the Republic of British Londinium was so bad, it took 12.46 years for the paperwork for a driver's licence to be approved. In 2005, a new prime minister was elected, James al-Malik. al-Malik, and Queen Hemali I redrafted the constitution, to make a country in which all citizens would be equal, the economy would be strong, the people's rights would blossom, and the government would be transparent. This redraft was approved by a landslide in Parliament, and came in force in 2006.

Geography

British Londinium once was an environmentally stunning nation. In recent years, however, the urbanisation of the people, development of miniaturised farms, and the industrialisation of the economy, has resulted in the entire country turning entirely citified, in effect becoming one giant megalopolis.
