The Northumbrian State (Northumbrish: Norðurymbre Veldi) was the independent sovereign state that governed the Northumberland between its formation in 1923 and its dissolution in 1941. A product of the Continental War, the state was formed by Northumbrian revolutionaries in Hackenbeck and supported by the Entente powers, mainly Vjaarland and Crethia, that were fighting against Ambrose. The nationalist revolt soon spread, and after Ambrose sued for peace in 1923, the state was officially recognized by the terms of the Treaty of Strandhavn. The state existed as a fragile parliamentary democracy, relying on monetary aid from foreign powers to assist in post-war reconstruction. Although it was nominally a protectorate of the Entente powers, increasing radicalism and instability coupled with continental economic troubles allowed Ambrosian interference. In the late 1930s, several high-profile diplomatic crises led to the country's invasion and eventual re-annexation by Ambrosian President Frederic Townsend's military government in 1941, ending the last independent Northumbrian nationstate.
