The City of London is a nation led by Lord Mayor Rt Hon. William Wilson II on the continent of Europe. The City of London's government is a Constitutional Monarchy with very conservative social policies. Economically, The City of London favors extremely right wing policies. The official currency of The City of London is the Pound Sterling. At 1,113 days old, The City of London is an ancient nation. The City of London has a population of 8,639,146 and a land area of 93,000.00 sq. miles. This gives it a national average population density of 92.89. Pollution in the nation is noticeable. The citizens' faith in the government is sufficient with an approval rating of 55.0078%.


The City of London, by ancient agreement with the Crown of England, recognises King Charles III as our sovereign.

The City of London lies on the north bank of the River Thames between the Temple Bar memorial pillar (commemorating the old Temple Bar gate) and the base of Tower Hill. The City Corporation is Britain’s oldest local government; it has the status of a county, with powers that exceed those of London’s 32 other boroughs, notably the control of its own police force. “The City,” as it is known, is only a component, relatively small in area, of the larger urban area known as London. Its area corresponds closely to that of the ancient city from which modern London has grown. The City belongs geographically to the historic county of Middlesex, but its special status and privileges gave it autonomy from that county for most of its history.

Since 1991 Canary Wharf, a few miles east of the City in Tower Hamlets has become another centre for London's financial services industry which houses many banks and other institutions formerly located in the Square Mile. Although growth has continued in both locations,[ambiguous], and there have been relocations in both directions, the Corporation has come to realise that its planning policies may have been causing financial firms to choose Canary Wharf as a location.
