The Royal City of Kensington is the capital and largest city of Eurasia. It lies 42 metres above sea level and has a population of 24 million (34 million when the metropolitan area is counted). It is an important economic, cultural and political center in the country and in the world, and is the home of the UK's government.

Background

Founded at the beginning of the first millenium CE, Kensington is home to thirty million individuals, along with many vital political, economic, and social institutions. When first founded by Roman explorers in 2 BCE, it was referred to as Novæ Londinivm, and served as the informal head of the Eurasian-city states, an alliance known as the Aseuropaeus League. After one hundred and forty four years of loose conglomeration, Novæ Londinivm noted its superiority, and invaded the entirety of Eurasia - it took centuries to push the Empire established by the Royal City back to its Metropolitan boundaries. Up until 1745, the city's political importance waned in light of British Dominion, though its societal, cultural, and economic importance still remained strong. During the War of Sovereignty, Kensington was restored as capital of Eurasia.
