Government Info
Government Type: Semi-Federal Parliamentary Democracy under a Constitutional Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The government of the Dual Kingdom is, in fact, as complicated as it sounds. England and France are both home to individual Parliaments, in Middlesex and Ile-de-France respectively. The Monarch has properties in both cities, along with properties in Windsor, York, Orleans, Caen and Angers. These two Parliaments, when combined, make up the Parliament of the Dual Kingdom or 'le Parlement de la Double-Uni'. French and English can be used in either Parliament, with the overwhelming majority of MPs being bilingual, fluent in both English and French. The Parliaments are known as, individually, the Parliament of England and le Parlement de la France. The individual Parliaments decide on law for their respective regions. De jure they need royal assent, but this is rarely considered in the actual day-to-day workings of the Parliaments. The MPs are elected by the landed citizenry of England (along with Wales and Ireland) and France, respectively. Gerrymandering is common, and rotten boroughs are present. The government is then made more complicated by the existence of the Royal Regional Assemblies, or les Assemblées Régionales Royaux. There are eight of these in the Dual Kingdom and they are, in no particular order; The Welsh Assembly, the High Court of Ireland, the Council of the North, the Cornish Seat, the Breton Parliament, the Senate of Flanders, the Council of Normandy and the Aquitanian Assembly. They deal with regional issues of their said locales; for example, the Council of the North would deal with the subsidization of industry in Northern England, but would still have to adhere to the laws set by the Parliament of England. The members of these assembles, dubbed 'MAs' are appointed by the Monarch on the guidelines set by the people of the regions. They have been largely successful, since their foundation, of lowering militancy throughout the nation. The government and monarch are restricted by the recently-updated Magna Carta, the nation's Constitution. The position of Prime Minister is elected by both houses of a single individual who represents the Parliament of the Dual Kingdom. The Deputy Prime Minister is, usually but not always, the second-most popular individual. There are also the Crown Dependencies, the Isles of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. They have their own parliaments but are under the protection of the Anglois Crown.

Brief Description of your people: The Anglois culture is a one both new and old. The culture itself is the result of four hundred year old union between England and France; and the chaotic civil anarchy which followed it's establishment. It draws from the French, English, Welsh and - to a much lesser extent - Irish cultures, creating an entirely new identity. A book written by French Renaissance author Voltaire entitled "L'Anglois" describes the typical Anglois as such; "The Anglois maintains a stiff upper lip - with which he speaks two tongues - has a strong sense of fair play and is an advocate of liberty. Inventive, graceful and witty, he cuts a striking image amongst the nationalities." The book was a best-seller across the Dual Kingdom, and is widely accepted as the best description of the Anglois.
Religion:Ethnicity: Dubbed 'White Anglois' or 'Anglois de le Blanc' by Parliament. In reality, a cluster-fuck between Frankish, Celtic and Germanic.

Brief Description of your Economy: The Anglois economy is a diverse one, based on trade and production. Due to it being the birth place of the industrial revolution (?) the Dual Kingdom has an extensive amount of industry compared to that of other nations, with coal and iron production in Northern England being at an all time high. The Dual Kingdom also grants loans to other governments.
Goals:
- Gain colonies in Africa and possibly Oceania
- Pacify one of the two possibly hostile neighbours (the Spanish and the HRE)
- Secure Anglo-Scottish border
- Sing 'Angloisia Rules the World'
History: In 1337 began the Hundred Year's War. So called not because it raged for so long, but because it's aftermath was so devastating that it was just as bad as the war itself. English was victorious all the way up to 1360 and - with their new-found Burgundian allies - they were finally able to utterly defeat the French in 1361. The French King was executed, and Edward was declared King of both France and England. What would follow, though, was no Kingship. Anarchy, anarchy everywhere. The French and English armies alike, both relieved of service, were a scourge on the country - some even resorting to burning and looting villages. The French citizenry did not take kindly to the King's inability to prevent this looting and this culminated in the 1363 Rebellion. The peasants pushed King Edward out of the city of Paris, mortally wounding him in the process. From that moment on, all Anglois Kings resided in Middlesex. Edward's successor, Edward, the Black Prince, became King Edward IV, and further saw the anarchy of the nation. The Dublin Rebellion in 1370, the Welsh War in 1372 and the Breton Riot of 1373. With Edward IV's death in 1376, the nation saw further anarchy. Richard became King Richard II, but nothing changed. The monarch held no control, and there was seemingly no way to prevent the chaos.
In 1545, Kind Edmund 'the Pious' started off his short reign with his reception at the Great Christian Compromise. In 1558, Queen Elizabeth 'the Magnificent' of House Plantagenet came to power, and the chaos began to stop. She created the Royal Regional Assemblies in 1560, quelling a large portion of the chaos by 1564. Her skill at statesmanship gave her the title she carried until her death. She pushed through Parliament a new law, which designated French as a co-equal language to that of English. This ended, at least mostly, the rioting in Paris. Elizabeth's reign saw the government take back control from the chaos, and up until her death in 1603 the nation slowly recovered. Her son and heir, King Edmund II took the throne and continued, mostly, down his mother's path. He separated the English and French parliaments in 1612 and made Welsh, Irish, Breton and Dutch 'regional languages' of the Dual Monarchy. More of this continued for several years until his death in 1641. The final major event was in the 1700s, when the chaos finally ended. Along with this came a growing sense of Anglois-identity that we see today, along with the growth of the Renaissance and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy over a Bicameral Federal Parliament
Brief Explanation of Government: The Monarch has total control over the military, however Parliament must approve any declaration of war. Parliament is also responsible for the laws of Scotland and with the urging of the Kings and Queens since 1715 have been granting rights to the populace. The Scottish Parliament has two houses, the House of Chiefs (Upper) and the House of Stewards (Lower). The House of Chiefs is made up entirely of the chiefs the various clans of Scotland. The House of Stewards holds other Scottish nobility and even commoners. The House of Chiefs has been losing their powers and is mainly used to review the laws passed by the House of Stewards before they approve the legislation, however if they reject any legislation coming from the House of Stewards a simple two thirds majority vote in the Lower House can override the Chief's decision. The Monarch must sign all legislation before it can be made solid law.

Brief Description of your Economy: The Scottish economy does fairly well. Its largest "industries" are Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Cloth/Wool/Textiles, Fishing, Iron and Other Ore Mining, Timber, and Whiskey Brewing. Spices and other such goods from Scottish Malaysia are also a large export but are also a sizable import. Bananas and Plantains, Cigars, and Cocoa Beans are exclusively found in the colony of Eilean an t-Siùcair, which ironically bears no sugar and was mistakenly named by the original colonists. The Scottish economy is slowly industrializing, and industrialization is currently only present in the Lowlands, predominately in the areas surrounding Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Goals:
-Maintain current colonies
-Possible expansion into Native American Lands
-Not die to the Dual Kingdom
History: After driving the English out in 1328, Scotland had been able to maintain its freedom from the English due to their victory in the 100 Years War, which had occupied them otherwise with internal problems involving the newly subjugated French populace. With this, the Auld Alliance had ended with the French, and was replaced by a similar version against the new Anglo-French Union with the Kingdom of Burgundy. The Protestant Reformation arrived in Scotland, bu was later ended during the Great Christian Compromise. in which many Scottish nobles had attended, including the Duke of Rothesay. The Scots landed in the New World in 1619 in the Colony of New Lothian (Maine). The Scots slowly moved down the coast, claiming Saint Fergus (New Hampshire), New Kintail (Vermont), Albany (Eastern Massachusetts), and New Glasgow (Rhode Island). Together, the colonies make up what is known as New Scotland. The Scots landed in Eilean an t-Siùcair shortly after. The Scots colonized Scottish Malaysia and have recently begun colonizing New Caledonia (Scottish New Zealand). Peace had been seen throughout homeland Scotland since its independence from the English during the fourteenth century. However, the Scottish Army did participate in minor foreign struggles, both under Saint Andrew's Satire and the Lion Rampart along with the flags of the Dutch, Spaniards and other Europeans who had hired them.

Government Type: Executive Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy (Prussian Constitutionalism)
Brief Explanation of Government: Prussian Constitutionalism. The King isn't Absolute, although he does have a larger amount of power than for example a King in an HM's Government. This power is mainly centered in the military and foreign affairs, although certain matters such as declarations of war are regulated by the Parliament. The Parliament itself is comprised of a scaled amount of individuals that scales with the amount of people in the province they represent (the more people in a province, the more representatives they'll have). Voting for the members of the Parliament is universal, although it is weighted, meaning that individuals in the higher strata have more important votes than those of the lower classes.

Brief Description of your people: The people of Burgundy have a strong tradition to be successful monetarily, although they are often hardworking. This success is often achieved through either commerce or banking, both of which are usually international enterprises. Thus, Burgundians are well-known across the world and have a good reputation. There are increasing liberal tendencies among the poor strata of Burgundy, meaning that the nation is slowly - but surely - turning into a liberal-aligned constitutional monarchy. Religion plays a large part in the personal lives of the Burgundians.
