In the ruins of post-Holy War Scotland, Highlanderland sprang up.
In the reconstruction after the war, all the destroyed building material was left there.

It is ruled by the Council of Moustache-Twirlers.
The native population is mostly comprised of Ladies and Gentlemen, but a few Females have immigrated in.
Since the reclamation of London (which they found floating through space), that has been their capital.
A large statue of Jules Verne was erected in the city square.

No one seems to think this war is worth stopping.
Their public battles make for fun viewing on boring days.
