Isselmere — officially, the Kingdom of Isselmere — is the largest and most populous autonomous region (region) within the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland (UKIN). Since 1015 AD, the Kingdom had been joined by personal union of the thrones of the former kingdoms of Anguist and Detmere, both of which were indisputable parts of the Kingdom of Isselmere by the sixteenth-century. The advent of devolution under the Constitution Act, 1986 brought about the separation of the two ancient kingdoms of Anguist and Detmere from that of Isselmere as autonomous regions in their own right within the united crowns of Isselmere and Nieland.
Devolution has not adversely affected the Kingdom at all. Economic ties between Isselmere and the Kingdom of Nieland have strengthened as the regional governments of both regions have sought to distance themselves from radical extremists, such as the primarily Isselmerian Loyal Monarchist Party demanding an end to the UKIN's experiment with federalism, and the Nielander Party arguing for complete separation of the two Kingdoms. Increasing ties with the Grand Duchy of Detmere, exemplified by the tight industrial links between Isselmere Motor Works, the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland and Detmerian Aerospace Dynamics, as well as the strange, slow spread of Anguistian throughout the UKIN has led to a marked decline in inter-regional squabbles, contrary to expectations and nationalist desires.
Population
The majority of people within the Kingdom of Isselmere are native Isselmere-Nielanders, but recent conflicts have led to a marked rise in immigration and particularly in war refugees. The Union Ministry for Social Development and Ministry of the Interior as well as the Isselmerian Ministry for Education and Skills and Ministry for Children and Family Services have adapted to these changing circumstances admirably with strident educational campaigns, effective job centres, and good social housing. Instances of legislation admitting refugees only as guest workers have been loudly declaimed by civil rights groups, politicians, and the two most recent monarchs, Robert VI and Henry V, alike.
Economy
The Isselmerian economy is dominated by three main industries: publishing, information technology, and automobile and motor manufacturing. Isselmere Motor Works is the United Kingdom's largest automobile manufacturer and a major contributor to the State's defence.
Constitutional Position
Although the Principality of Anguist and the Grand Duchy of Detmere are administratively separate regions within the United Kingdom, officially the two regions remain part of the Kingdom of Isselmere. This constitutional position continues to infuriate and frustrate Anguistian and Detmerian nationalists.
