The Crown Commonwealth of Praetonia is a country located off the North-East coast of the central Haven continent. It is surrounded by the Vascian Gulf - a sea which encompasses Praetonian territorial waters and Her Economic Exclusion Zone. The sea contains numerous small islands claimed as Crown Dependancies, many of them housing small naval and INSFC bases.
Praetonia has no land borders and proposals to build a tunnel to nearby Willink have been consistently rejected due to national security concerns. Mainland Haven has proved unstable in recent years, but Praetonia has managed to avoid any unwanted involvement in these conflicts due to her naval power and island status.
Praetonia has several colonies which have recently been legally amalgamated to form a unitary Crown Commonwealth of Praetonia. The former colonies have varying relations with the mainland, but all maintain very strong cultural and private economic links. Praetonia wields a great deal of diplomatic power through her foundership of the Sovereign League and her membership of both ACTO and APOC. In recent years relations with the CAD powers formerly viewed as enemies have thawed.
History
Praetonia was a feudal monarchy until the First Civil War in the 17th century. This war culminated in the Battle of Kingston and the Storming of the Palace in 1653, during which the King was captured by the Patrician Parliamentary army and subsequently executed after a public trial, the rest of the Royal Family going into exile in Questers. In 1654 the Grand Commonwealth of Praetonia was proclaimed
