Caitland (Caitish: Cataibh) (turquoise) — Dalriadan gf Bernician bf
Cumberland (Cumbrish: Cumbry) (brown) — In our world, Cumbric died out and Welsh lived; here, it's the other way round.
Monkchester (blue) — The privileges of the Haliwerfolc have been much abused over the centuries by coal merchants and slave traders; though Monkchester itself was no slave port, there is not a building in the city unstained with the trade's blood.

Gow (Gowsh: Gouw) (rose) — 21st-century mercantile Protestant republicanism. Once had the world's greatest colonial empire, now its largest financial services industry.
Roland (grey) — Normans without the Latin influence, basically; they speak English because it's funny. "nooo that's not how languages work!!!" Don't care.
