Logon, formally the United Duchies of Logon is a sovereign country located off and on the southern coast of the Stratean mainland and northern Frigon mainland. Logon includes the islands of the South Tenific Island Chain, the Northwestern Frigo Islands, and a sizeable portion of land on the Stratean mainland. Almara and Sulmara share a land border with the Washingtonian Republic. Otherwise, the United Kingdom is surrounded by the South Tenific and Rochian Oceans, with the island chains belonging to Logon commonly thought as the "border" between the two oceans.

Logon is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. The current monarch is King Jacob III, who has reigned since 1967, making him Logon's second longest-serving current head of state. Logon's capital is Victoria, a global city and financial centre with an urban area population of 1.2 million. Other major cities include Charlestown, Anderson, Leeds, Fird, and Almarica.

Logon consists of seven constituent duchies: Almara, Sulmara, Washin, Firda, Macola, Don, Bemin, Andars, and Coldsland. Their capitals are Almarica, Charlestown, Leeds, Fird, Gozon, Trum, Lavand, Borson, and Snowhil, respectively. All the duchies have their own devolved governments, each with signifigant powers, with such power being guaranteed by the Almarican and Victorian Compromises. The early modern conquest and subsequent annexation of Sulmara by the Kingdom of Almara, followed by the Almaran conquests in a series of wars now called "the Unification Conflicts" between 1850 and 1868 to form the Greater Kingdom of Almara in 1866, and the surrender of Coldsland, Bemin, and Andars in 1866 created the United Duchies of Logon. The UDL's current name was adopted in 1868 to reflect the decentralization of power from the Almaran monarch to the various monarchs, now called dukes, of the constituent duchies.

Logon has the world's fourteenth-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (GDP), and the fourteenth-largest population. It has a high-income economy and a very high human development index rating at 0.900. It was one of the world's first industrialised countries. Logon remains a regional power, with respectable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence internationally. While it lacks nuclear weapons, Logon's military has a sizeable navy for a country of its size, and the Logonian Royal Army is known to have biological and chemical weapons.

Name

The word Logon comes from the name of an ancient empire that existed in the early first century BC to the fourth century AD, covering what is now most of mainland Logon and southern portions of Washington Republic, with considerable control of the South Tenific Island Chain. The empire was broken up by internal conflicts, disease, and economic poverty and ceased to exist by the beginning of the fourth century AD. When Logon was unified, its former name was adopted as a gesture of goodwill by the ruling Almarans.
