Anglaland, officially the the Canton of Anglaland, is the primary and oldest province of Brytene, located on the centre island of the Brytisc Isles chain in the northern hemisphere of Atlas. Anglaland has the highest population of all the Cantons and is home to the capital city of Lundene, as well as the nation's largest city, Contwaraburg.
Etymology and terminology
The word 'Anglaland' is Old English in origin, and is believed to derive from the term án-geld, meaning 'compensation' or 'reward' - literally the reward it represented to those who first made the voyage across the ocean to discover it.
History
See also: History of Brytene
Anglaland was originally settled by prehistoric peoples from the coastal region of what is now known as Tennstedt, known as the Saxones. The twin warlords Hengist and Horsa united the tribes of Anglaland in the 6th Century, dispatching an army under their trusted bannerman Ida Flamebearer to conquer the island of Nortymba and establish the Kingdom of Brytene. In the 14th Century a war with the Dyflin-Vikingr warlords of Dyflin saw that canton brought under Saxone control, resulting in the total dominance of the Brytisc Isles.
Geography and environment
Anglaland is a lush and fertile region of low hills and rolling rivers. The rich farmland has historically supported a large population, swelling the armies of the region, whilst rich underground deposits encourage trade.
Economy
Anglaland is the powerhouse of the Brytisc economy, producing much of its comestible products and homing large industrial firms such as IDAItech, Wernham-Hogg and Kuribayashi Arms, as well as the global Goldwing Finance headquarters.
Transport
Like Brytene, Anglaland has an extensive rail network, including inner-city metro systems and nation-wide rail systems. Ferries and short-haul passenger flights are also a necessity due to the archipelagic nature of the country.
Demographics
Much like Brytene, Anglaland is notably multicultural, with roughly 14.6% Asian, , 10.3% Latin-American, 10.1% Black, 4.9% Arabic and 3% other.
Languages
Brytene's official language is English, but a variety of international languages can be found, especially near the major population centres.
Culture
Literature
Anglaland is famed for its classical authors.
Visual art
Like the rest of Brytene, Anglish tastes are still very traditional. Tapestries and oil paintings are still popular across Anglaland.
Media
The Brytisc Broadcasting Corporation, a widely-respected and state-subsidised news concern famed for its impartiality, is headquartered in Lundene.
