(1.) Overview
Albeinland, officially the Kingdom of Albeinland but also known as Alba or Albion is a sovereign state in west Lorecia, bordering Noordenstaat and Fyngaria to the south, Arstotska and Aswick to the northeast and the Aurora Confederacy to the northwest. The geographical location of Albeinland corresponds to the western part of the same continent known as the Alban Highlands and the islands of Arsey, Brunwick and Boiswell in the Albish Channel. The country have a population of approximately 30 million inhabitants according to its latest census, with the largest portion living in the capital and largest city, Castelby. Albeinland has been a member state of the World Assembly since 1999 and was one of the founding states of the Lorecian Community in 1994.
Historically, the country has its origins in the beginning of the settlement of several Arlethian tribes in the modern-day Albish territory in the 1st century BCE. With the growth of these tribes and the increase of foreign influence by Christian missionaries, the founding of the first Albish kingdoms and cities takes place in the 6th century, with the Kingdom of Anglea, the Kingdom of Cambria and the Duchy of Lencester being one of the most influential in the region. In the 11th century, after several wars and conflicts, the House of Annesley of Anglea managed to unify all the region and thus establishing the Kingdom of Albeinland. The Middle Ages were a scene for military conquests which helped to solidify the territory of the Albish state.
Although the massive conversion to the Protestantism during the Reformation, the absolutist monarchs and the Parliament continued to confront one another, leading to the Oxford Revolution (also known as the Albish Civil War) between 1661 and 1663, with the constitutionalists overcoming the absolutists and introducing a constitutional monarchy into Albeinland. The 18th century was a golden age for national politics, economics and philosophy, maintaining its position as a wealthy nation in Lorecia despite political instabilities at the end of the century due a growing radicalism inside society. The 19th century witnessed the establishment of modern democracy, with universal male suffrage being enacted in 1872 and the vote for women in 1919.
Today, Albeinland is a democratic constitutional parliamentary monarchy, with the Chancellor acting as the head of government. The national legislature is the Parliament, which is divided into two chambers: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is a lower house elected by popular vote while the House of Lords is a upper house appointed by the sovereign under the consent of the Chancellor, the Leader of the Opposition and Privy Council. The country have a semi-written constitution - the Common Charter of 1656, but it also uses another charters and conventions in its legal system. The kingdom is divided between seven provinces, each being governed by a Royal Commissioner appointed by the sovereign also under the consent of the Chancellor and Privy Council. The provinces are: Anglea, Cambria, Lencester, Bedfordshire, Greater Castelby, Zuidland and Saint Laurent.
