== History ==
=== Initial Creation ===
The Holy Celtic Empire was created on the 17th of August and was originally called "The United Kingdom". The creation of the nation was sponsored by the [[Roman Empire]] in protest to [[France]]'s regional power. Both the capital and nation were created on the same day.

=== French intervention ===
Shortly after it's establishment, [[France]] demanded the nation be named under a pseudonym that implied French control. A deal was reached to rename the nation to the neutral name "Cheshire" for a undisclosed sum. However after the addition of [[Queensland]], Owned by [[Phinkleforb]], the name "Holy Celtic Empire" was adopted.   

Although created with an intention to prevent further French influence on the island, The Holy Celtic Empire is allies with France.

=== Current day ===

Today the Holy Celtic Empire is the 9th biggest nation by overall population.

=== 31st August ===
The first election saw [[PhinkleForb]] run uncontested and LizTruss replaced.

== Catholicism ==

The Holy Celtic Empire is a nation rooted deep in Christianity with the first building built being the Saint Mary's Church in [[Nantwich]] with the help of Rome where mass is held every week. The strong Catholic sentiment has allowed it to enjoy unusual close relations with the [[Roman Empire]]

== Land Disputes ==

==== Nantwich-Northumbrian Dispute ====
The capital, [[Nantwich]], borders the French owned town of [[Northumbria]] creating minor tensions.  [[LizTruss]] has repeatedly called for the dissolution of the town to enable expansion north. This remains unresolved

==== Welsh division ====
[[Tritonau]] was created following a negotiation between [[LizTruss]] and [[Stormraft]] which ultimately divided northern Wales vertically along the mountains. Despite joining the nation, a wall was agreed to be built along the parallel which both sides adhere to. This is a resolved dispute
