| The '''Kingdom of Moorland''', or simply '''Moorland''', is a small state located in northeastern [[Keltia]], bounded on the north by [[Mercury]] and in the south by [[Ostland]]. It considers itself to be a cultural successor to the Kingdom of [[Nova England]], though it does not claim direct descent from the royal line of Josephus I. Although culturally and linguistically similar, it is not to be confused with [[Hurmu|Hurmudan]] [[Moorland]] to the south.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| | |
| Moorland was originally a region of [[Nova England]], though the kingdom is only a recent development, having been declared in 1718. Following the Nova English diaspora, and the departure of the royal family to the [[South Sea Islands]], those who remained behind found themselves at the mercy of various [[the Green|hostile tribes]]. New populations moved in from the west, especially the [[Normark|Norse]]. [[Bassarids]] had also begun to enter the area, moving north from [[Haifa]]. While the [[Warring Islands]] were secured by the benevolent forces of the [[Benacian Union]], the mainland was not so fortunate. Although the Norse were not openly hostile to the locals, they nonetheless subjugated them during the formation of [[Ostland]]. [[Hurmu]], in an attempt to bring peace and stability to the region, established its own presence in the form of [[Moorland]] to the south. But the corridor to the north, outside of Ostland's control and south of [[Mercury]], controlled by the [[Clans of Moorland]], refused to be brought to heel and resisted all attempts at colonization. Over time the Clans, facing continued external pressure, united under Chief MacMartin to form the Kingdom of Moorland. | |
| | |
| ==Geography==
| |
| | |
| Moorland occupies a narrow band of territory running west from the border with [[Mercury]] and a small 12km stretch of oceanfront that comprises the kingdom's only sea access. The climate is temperate and oceanic, and tends to be very changeable. It has mild winters, but cooler, wetter summers. Winters average 6 °C (43 °F), with summer averaging 18 °C (64 °F). In prehistoric times the entire region was covered by ice sheets, and as such has been greatly affected by glaciation. The scars of retreating glaciers resulted in the many hills and lochs now present across the country. As the name would suggest, many moors also exist as a result of bogs left behind in low-lying areas carved out by the glacial retreat.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The country is divided into three regions: [[East Moorland]], stretching from the coast to Newcastle-Upon-Eastmoor. [[West Moorland]], from just west of Newcastle-Upon-Eastmoor to near Borova. And [[Nevermoor]], which extends ambiguously into the western frontier.
| |
| | |
| ==Economy==
| |
| | |
| The currency of Moorland is the Redoubt Crown ([[MOS]]: RDC) which is derived from the former currency circulated by [[Nova England]], the National Redoubt Denarii. As a relatively new currency that lacks widespread circulation in the global economy, it is pegged to the [[Mercurian Crown]] for stability.
| |
| | |
| ==Government and politics==
| |
| | |
| Moorland is a constitutional monarchy with a hereditary royal family who acts as head-of-state and a freely elected Prime Minister who acts as head-of-government.

| With the collapse of the Nova English National Redoubt and Faedertellus, the people of Moorland found themselves defenseless against [[the Green|hostiles]]. Thankfully many reservists from the [[People's Militia]] were still residing in the area and helped organize a new, local defence force. Like during the events of the Great Disaster and Evacuation, the People's Militia became a lifeline for protecting local communities. As power became centralised under King MacMartin, the various militias gradually coalesced into the present [[Moorland Armed Forces]]. The MAF is, in turn, directed by the Ministry of Defence.
