The Anglo-Saksen Commonwealth, also referred to as Angsax, is a country located in northern Apollonia. Angsax is a direct continuation of the Anglo-Saxon Commonwealth and was formed in response to ongoing negotiations between the various tribal leaders.
Etymology
Although comprised of seven kingdoms, the country takes its name from the two primary groups that form the commonwealth, the Saksens and Anglish.
Geography
The commonwealth is a collection of seven kingdoms across northern Apollonia along the shores of the Clear Sea and Violette Sea.
History
Early History
The current tribes of the commonwealth began migrating into the region 1400, with the first tribes, the Saksens and Jutts, arriving from the south. Other tribes, including the Angles, Humms, and Balls, began migrating into the area soon after from Lyrica island, pushed out by Storish invaders. Finding safe passage through Cognito and Lac Glacei they settled in northern Apollonia, extinguishing the Oceanic people and reducing the Purple Islanders to a mere shadow of their former selves. Some of the tribes soon coalesced into the state of Cranda.
Angsax was founded by the Beckford Dynasty around 1465 AN as the Whealsh, Humms, Myrca and West Saksens settled in the northeast corner of Apollonia. The Beckford dynasty married in to the Crandish kings and soon the two states joined to form the massive Kingdom of Arminy.
Government and Politics
Angsax is a commonwealth heptarchy ruled by a High King who presides over the seven kingdoms. The seven kings combined form a Kingsmoot, a legislative body that acts as a governing council and elects from among its peers one to serve as High King.
Culture
The commonwealth is comprised of seven separate tribes, each with their own kingdom: Angles, Saksens, Whealsh, Humms, Jutts, Balds, and Myrca.
