The Kingdom of Albion, commonly known as "Albion", is a country located in Erisia, off the north-western coast of the mainland. It consists of three large islands and several smaller ones within the Brenin Isles. Albion is completely surrounded by the Nautilan Ocean, and shares no international land borders.
Albion is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. The capital and largest city is Kingston, a major financial and cultural hub with a population of around 12 million. Other major cities include Bradford, Caerfyrddin, Kirk, and Peterborough. The modern state of Albion evolved from a series of annexations and unions over the course of several hundred years. The marriage of King Owain I of Cambria and Meabh ua Briain formed the basis for the later First Act of Union between Cambria and !Ireland in 1612. The Brenin Isles had been completely unified by 1753(TBD), and under the instruction of King Rhys II was renamed "Albion" after a legendary kingdom found within the common histories of all constituent nations.
Throughout its history, Albion has been significantly influenced by the Tiberian Church and to this day maintains a close relationship with the High Church. Alban kings are traditionally crowned by the Archbishop Cardinal of Albion, and most historical Alban governments have included, or in some cases even been dominated by, members of the Tiberian clergy.
Albion was among the first countries in the world to fully industrialize, and throughout the early 18th to 19th centuries expanded its influence on a global scale. Well into the 21st century, Albion remains a major power and has significant economic, military, scientific, technological, political, and cultural influence worldwide. Albion has one of the world's largest Gross Domestic Products, and has a high-income economy. It also ranks consistently high internationally in fields of education and healthcare.

Administrative divisions
Albion is divided between four constituent kingdoms and one capital territory, as well as (TBD) crown dependencies which, while not officially part of the Kingdom of Albion, are directly administered by representatives of the Alban crown.
Each constituent kingdom (consisting of Estaria, Cambria, !Scotland and !Ireland) share a common monarch and national government while maintaining their own sub-national administrations to govern local matters. Sub-national parliaments are modeled after the central parliament of Albion, and retain most of its features with some minor differences depending on the kingdom.
