>>5720792England, a proud nation ruled by King William Of Normandy (even though the Norman invasion hasn't happened yet kek), has risen. Aging back to the days before the Roman Empire, most of its people are a mix of the original Celtic Briton inhabitants and Anglo-Saxon settlers. Its capital is the large city of London, once called Londinium by the Romans. Once a quiet group of petty kingdoms, England is now a united nation that has been forged in fire after surviving, fighting off, and expelling waves of Norse Viking invaders.
As a Christian nation, it is devout and in recent years, has had decent relations with its fellow Christian neighbors, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, even teaming up with them at times to repel Vikings. However, relations with Norway (recently converted to Christianity) are icy at best, considering they did little to alleviate the raiding issue. Francia is also on less than amicable terms with England, due to the two having been rivals in recent years. (flavor text)
Their lands are cool and wet climactically and contain a varied landscape ranging from gentle hill country, to humid swamps, to dense forests, to rocky peaks. Despite this landscape, much of their nation relies on subsistence farming and subsistence fishing, having little in the way of trade or export.
Militarily, they have few castles and rely mostly on hill forts and small localize garrisons. Their military has little in the way of cavalry, which could make invading continental nations a little harder. However, England does have heavy infantry units known as huscarls, which proved critical during the Viking age. England is also known for its strong navy as well as its numerous archers.
