Overview

Located in the south-central area of Doggerland at the delta of a major river, Lancastria is one of the larger city-states in its respective region. Lancastria is broken up into several smaller governing cities/towns. It is made up mostly of Canadian-American refugees, however it contains a small minority of Slavic and East Asian peoples. It is home to several large corporations like Agency Industries (A.I.), the Northern Continental Corporation (N.C.C.), and the Avro Corporation (Avro).

Lancastria is made up of several people fleeing Canada, as well as parts of the United States, during various coups and civil conflicts that ravaged North America in the 2900s. It moved to the location it currently resides today in the early 3000s, and has since begun constructing itself to try to be a large economic and military power within its region.

History

With the aftermath of the meteor around 2350, the regions that were once under the control of the nations of Canada and the United States collapse. It wouldn't be long until warlords, minor states, and corporations would begin to rise out of the ashes of the once two great nations, and fight for control over North America. North America would be a no-mans land of war as warlords, corporations, and minor states would begin to try and form.

In the late 2700s, a mysterious man known as "Sir. Halifax," or "Mr. Halifax," would arrive in the Hudson Bay and make landfall around a very old port town known to locals as "York Factory." He would revive the port town as a major port, and begin trying to unite the peoples around the western regions of the Hudson Bay into a region known as "New Yorkshire." Moving upstream of the major rivers of the area, he would begin to create a new region called "New Lancashire." Some people on North America believed he was trying to bring English power back into North America, and would regard this new English Empire as the "Dittoshire" Empire (Ditto meaning second coming, shire being slang for England).

Into the 2800s, these regions would begin to rise and eventually unite into the first Lancastrian state, which would be located in parts of Western Canada and the northern United States. By the early 2900s, New Lancashire would be reformed into the Federation of Lancastria. Lancastria by the mid 2900s would see the continuous battles and destruction to the south and would move further north, forcing themselves to dive deep into the research of thermal construction to help in the severe cold, and would become friends with some of the Native American tribes that still existed up this far north. They would also focus more research into explosive chemicals for ammo, helping them to eventually figure out space travel. Even with all these changes it would be far too late to keep themselves secure, as when the battle between Chisel Enterprises and the Galactic Federation would break out, there would be far too little resources and viable farmland to keep themselves afloat in North America. This and the destruction caused by these large powers in the late 2900s would force many of Lancastria to flee eastward to an island they have heard about and visited before.
