The Grand Duchy of Detmere is the second smallest autonomous region of the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland in terms of area, with six provinces, and the smallest in terms of population with 14.7 per cent of the total.
Provinces
Detmere has six provinces: Carlmarch, Gottering, Hiliscar, Northmarch, Sluist, and Strabane.
Semling
The capital of Detmere is Semling, a kafkaesque city. Until recently, the skyline of the city was dominated by Semling Castle on Kinnock Hill, glaring down upon the winding closes, wynds, and occasional roads below. Since 1945, however, many of the old row houses and much of the less salubrious sections of the Medieval quarters were demolished to make way for new industrial plants, better planned housing developments and, from the 1960s, skyscrapers, albeit in limited quantity.
The growth of green space was not neglected. Peter Laederbeck, Lord Mayor of Semling between 1945 and 1957, was instrumental in extending existing parks and creating new ones in dilapidated industrial areas. From one of the ugliest and unhealthy cities in the United Kingdom, Semling became one of the most beautiful.
Constitutional Position
Detmere is one of two administrative divisions that devolved from the Kingdom of Isselmere, of which it formally remains a part. In accordance with the Articles of Succession and the Constitution, the royal second in line to the throne is the Grand Duke of Detmere, a tradition that has made the demands of Detmerian nationalists woefully optimistic at best.
