[edit] History

Borelia was known as "British North America" until the early 1830s. The addition of much land following the War of Southern Aggression lead to difficulty in terms of managing such a large, as yet non-unified, entity.

The solution adopted after much discussion was to incorporate all the various colonies and dependencies into a single kingdom modeled along the lines of Great Britain itself. The Head of state was to be the currently reigning British monarch in perpetuum.
