History
Nova England as a micronation was first conceived following its founder Josephus discovering micronations through a simple advert of the Danny Wallace's 'Lovely' Project. After weeks of attempting to start a micronation within the actual Lovelian Forums, Josephus then established Nova England's first forum. Although now lost to the winds it enabled Nova England to finally start to develop its somewhat unusual culture. The forum at first attracted a mixture of English Nationalists who all shaped the nation towards its first cultural identity which was based on Roman Britain. However this was latter developed further to allow for more Anglo Saxon elements to be pushed into the culture which is reflected best in East Moorland English which is a complete bastardisation of Latin and Anglo Saxon. Early in its history Nova England became close allies with another nation based upon the British Isles, that nation was New Britannia. NE and NB shared very close relations with each other right up and till NB's death in which the spirit of their nation was passed on to the Nova English who still upkeep some of NB's territories now.
During 2008 Nova England became a SAR of Riponia due to worries that mass activity may have caused the death of the Fatherland. However almost as soon as Nova England joined activity was boosted by the pure number of Nova English attempting to achieve Nova English separation from Riponia. Yet in the end no such political wills were needed as Riponia died and Nova England became a De facto Nation. Over the past few years Nova England has followed a rather isolationist policy but since mid-2010 it has seen a large revolution in terms of activity and production. Which has caused it to seek out foreign nations in attempts to trade goods and services in order to fund and continue various developments.
In 2012 the Kingdom of Nova England suffered a dramatic drop in activity, which ultimately resulted in its removal from the map. During this period New Sussex was absorbed into what is now known as Mercurian Nova England with the New Britannian Territories being claimed by other nations.
During early 2013 the Kingdom of Nova England re-established itself within the former New Britannian Territories. Focused around the newly established capital at Port Impregnable, the Kingdom of Nova England began to engage in relations with other nations and aided in the initial setting up of the Dominion before once again succumbing to inactivity.
As of January 2017 the Kingdom of Nova England has reformed in the National Redoubt Region of Eastmoorland.
Government
The Government of Nova England has always been based around the British Model of a Constitutional Monarchy. However various differences were developed in the early stages of Nova England to create stark differences with those using the standard British system. Firstly was that the Legislature was undertaken by a elected body known as the Witan. In which practically all citizens that were either Exarches (Lords) or Elected Witan Members (WM) were able to discuss legislature and ultimately pass it through for authorisation by the Monarch. Nova England as of yet uses an un-codified constitution which gained its first most important piece from Exarch and Chief of the Witan Arcaviir in 2007. He was the first Chief of the Witan to develop a codified system for the passing of all legislation through the Witan and was hence known as the 'Rule of Law'.
Politics in Nova England are relatively cordial with very little Political rivalry developing between the few citizens of the Fatherland. Whilst the two only Ministries of Nova England are the Ministry of Interior Affairs and the Ministry of Defence. Both of these Ministries contain various Departments which are often the places in which many more specialised information is produced. Elections in Nova England are now somewhat simulated with a forum vote which counts as what is known as the Party Vote. Whilst a second 'Simulated' vote decides on which parties have been able to gain various consituencies. Citizens of the Fatherland are then encouraged to develop the various political parties in what ever way they wish as long as it fits with the basic outline set out for that party.
Geography
Mainland Nova England is located upon the large continent of Keltia. The terrain of the nation itself is somewhat varied, with lowlands on the mainland part of New Sussex. Where as Large once volcanic islands that make up the rest of New Sussex (Mercurian Nova England). In contrast there were the large mountainous chains of East Moorland and the far stretching forests of Southern Burwood. Both of which make up part of the evacuated territories. In the far south were the Britannic Territories, most of which are currently under foreign occupation.
Currently the Faedertellus is located within the mountainous National Redoubt Region of Eastmoorland.

Military
The bulk of Nova England's military falls under the remit of the Nova English Armed Forces which itself is directed by the Ministry of Defence. In addition to this the Ministry of Defence also maintains control of independent People's Militia units, the National Military Schooling Institute, Royal Para-Military Police, the National Defence Initiative, the Meteorological Office, Nova English Weapons and the intelligence gathering organisation Special Operations Executive.
Support for the Armed Forces has always been strong within the population, with many citizens undertaking voluntary service within the Armed Forces or a branch of the People's Militia.
Despite being disbanded following the Great Disaster, the Ministry of Defence was re-established in 2017 with the reformation of the Faedertellus and the passing of the Reorganisation of the Nova English Armed Forces Act. The current Ministry of Defence Chief is Colonel (Ret.) Alfwaerd Killer.
Regions
Nova England is made up from a number of regions with the major regional boundaries which are known as Provincias and then smaller sub-divisions which are known as counties. Traditional Nova English Provincias consist of East Moorland, New Sussex, Burwood and Nova English Korea. This later expanded to include the New Britannian Territories following the collapse of the Britannian Empire. However following the evacuations of late 2009 only the Provincias of New Sussex (Albeit Diminished), Nova English Korea and the New Britannian Territories. As of March 2017, the Kingdom of Nova England is centred within the National Redoubt Region of Eastmoorland.
National Redoubt Region (Eastmoorland).
Exarch: N/A
Population: 222,908 (As per National Redoubt Region Census - February 2017)
Capital: Newcastle-Upon-Eastmoor
Counties: National Redoubt Region.
The National Redoubt Region of Eastmoorland, has long been a bastion of the Faedertellus. Centred around the city of Newcastle-Upon-Eastmoor, the region utilises the national terrain to house the ultimate fallback location. Prior to the Evacuations and the Great Disaster the region boosted a number of industries ranging from agriculture to vehicle manufacturers. However since the rebirth the region has become the starting point of the resurgent Kingdom of Nova England, with its former industries slowly being rebuilt.
Culture
Nova England has always been a micronation that is based around the Earth nation of England. However rather than just using modern English Culture Nova England explores a whole mix of Roman British Culture as well as Anglo Saxon culture. From this a culture of binge drinking, militarisation, nationalism and a bastardisation of languages that has become East Moorland English. In micronational terms Nova England had developed its culture since the King John I who in Nova English history was the first Monarch to fully unite all of the Nova English tribes following his expulsion from West Grinstead by rival Lords. Following this a state of readiness and militarisation permanently stayed on the minds of all Nova English and continues on to this day. As said before many Nova English are very nationalist and are almost fanatical in their views but nearly all Nova English are also religious with the main religion being a form of protestant Christianity. In addition to the Bible Nova English Christianity also includes an extra book known as the 'Book of The Holy Lance' which is based upon Nova England's introduction and intergration into Christianity.
Economy of Nova England
List of Companies of Nova England
Following the Evacuations and the Great Disaster, the Nova English economy is currently engaged in a recovery phase. The current focus of the economy has been the reestablishment of national infrastructure, including a major rail link to the Republic of Mercury. Whilst dissolved companies have been asset stripped and auctioned to Nova English citizens planning to create either new firms or rekindle the assets of the dissolved companies.
Traditionally the Nova English economy has consisted of a firm bias towards the manufacture of military equipment. Which include small arms, naval vessels, vehicles, aircraft and munitions. In addition to a strong agricultural industry, which allowed Nova England to be self-sufficient in produce.
The current trends of the Nova English economy suggest a return to the norm with several companies offering services to the Nova English military, alongside a strengthening agricultural sector.
In April 2017 the Nova English Trading Company was established to enable exports & imports with member nations of the USSO Common Market.
