Great Anglia, or formally the Kingdom of Great Anglia is a country located in Western Europa on Eurth, a large portion located on the Anglian peninsula. It is bordered by Suverina to the east and Adaptus to the north. Great Anglia lies on the coast of both the Ram Sea and the Amnalos Sea, as well as the Adlantic Ocean. Great Anglia is a monarchy, with its capital in the city of Godstone. Its monarch, King Creighton III, has reigned since 1997.

Etymology

The name Anglia likely came from the Proto-Argic-Europan root *h₂enǵʰ-, meaning "narrow", meaning here "the Narrow [Water]", in reference to Widdeby Sound, the long inlet which runs between the Anglian isthmus and the Amnalos Sea. The root would be *angh-, "tight". There is also a theory that Anglia meant "hook" (as in angling for fish), in reference to the shape of the peninsula. It is also possible that the Angles may have been called such because they were a fishing people or were originally descended from such.

Geography

Great Anglia is a peninsula, bordered by the Ram Sea to the north, the Adlantic Ocean to the west and the Amnalos Sea to the south. Its land borders consist of Suverina to the east and Adaptus to the north. Great Anglia's border with Suverina is roughly delineated by the ($MOUNTAINS), save for the Suverin possession of Cluy-Napoca, which lies on the Anglian side of the same mountain range. Great Anglia's border with Adaptus is altogether less defined, with a portion of the border comprising a straight line from the eastern Anglian highlands to the Ram Sea coast.

Great Anglia is roughly divided in half by Widdeby Sound, a long inlet which separates the peninsula of Anglia-proper from the eastern Anglian regions. West of the Sound, the landscape of Anglia is very flat, with the tallest hill on the peninsula being Hybarrow, standing at 368 metres (1207 feet) above sea level. The eastern regions, however, have a far greater variation in height, roughly sloping from Tarentum in the southwest to the highest points of the ($MOUNTAINS).
