The Constitutional Monarchy of Glerica, also referred to colloquially as Glerica, is a country in the north-west of England it occupies around half of the most north-western island in England, and shares a land border with Safalra. Glerica is bounded by the Hypocriscian Sea to the East, International Waters to the West, and the “Most Northern Sea” to the North. Glerica was formed as a nation around 1200 years ago and takes its name from its first King, Mattian Glerican.

Although seen as a fairly new country, Glerica ranks as a fairly influential nation, and tries to develop significant scientific and cultural developments to share with its Region. It is the place of origin for the Glerican Language and the “Glerican Church of Whatever”.






















Brief History

Prehistoric Glerica

Cave paintings which have been found in the Riverton Caves have suggested that humans first settled in what is now Glerica at around 1500BC. Unusually, these paintings suggest that instead of the typical “Hunter-Gatherer” pictures common from that time, Prehistoric Glericans seem to have bought what can be described as fast food from traders carrying trays. There are also scenes of these people with domesticated Glerkbacks. Scientists agree that this is incredibly fascinating behaviour for people of these times, or just a really, really, really good hoax.

At this time, Glerica was connected to mainland England by numerous land bridges, and therefore increased population diversity.
