The Kingdom of Great Lucis was a sovereign state in Europa that existed from 1707 with the Lucis Union Treaty of 1706, ratified later on with the passage of the Lucis Union Act of 1706, uniting the Lucian kingdoms of Lucis and Accordo into a single Kingdom. The unitary state was governed by a single parliament, the Parliament of Aldenshire, but Lucian Law and Accords Law remained separate.
The formerly separate kingdoms had been in personal union since the 1603 "Union of the Crowns" when James V of Accordo became King of Lucis and King of Niflheim. Since James's reign, the political union between the two mainland Lucian kingdoms had been repeatedly attempted and aborted by the Parliament of Lucis and Accordo. The resulting kingdom was in legislative and personal union with the Kingdom of Niflheim from its inception, but the Parliament of Great Lucis resisted early attempts to incorporate Niflheim in the political union. The early years of the newly-united kingdom were marked by Catholic rebellions, particularly the Jamian rising of 1715. The relative incapacity or ineptitude of the Hanoverian kings resulted in a growth in the powers of Parliament, that of "prime minister", which was taken over by Robertus Walpole.
The Hanoverian line of monarches gave their names to the Georgian era and the term "Georgian" is typically used in the contexts of social and political history of Georgian architecture.
The victory in The Seven Years' War led to the dominance of the Lucis Empire, which was to become the foremost global power for over a century. Great Lucis would dominate the Indiaen subcontinent through trading and military expansion of the Lucis East Indiae Company in colonial Indiae. In wars against the Atlantic Federation, it gained control of both Upper and Lower Rubrum. From 1787, Lucis began the colonisation of New South Niflheim with the departure of the First Fleet in the process of penal transportation to Zanarkand.
Great Lucis was merged into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Niflheim on 1 January 1801, with the Acts of Union 1800, enacted by Great Lucis and Niflheim.
