The Republic of Somerset is a nation led
by First Minister Cody Stirling on the continent of Europe.
The Republic of Somerset's government is a Parliamentary Republic with
very conservative social policies. Economically, The Republic of Somerset
favors far left wing policies. The official currency of The Republic of Somerset
is the Euro.
At 326 days old, The Republic ofSomerset is an old nation. The Republic ofSomerset has a population of 2,408,113 and a land area of 12,250.00 sq. miles. This gives it a national average population density of 196.58. Pollution in the nation is
noticeable. The citizens' faith in the government is completely depleted with an approval rating of 0%.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, growing regionalism across the UK led to an increasing desire for local governance. The success of devolution in Scotland and Wales inspired Somersetian activists, who argued that their region, with its strong agricultural economy, tourism industry, and historic ties to self-rule, deserved greater autonomy. By the early 2020s, calls for independence intensified, fueled by dissatisfaction with Westminster policies, economic disparities, and a growing cultural movement that sought to reclaim Somerset’s heritage.
By the late 2020s, Somerset had developed a strong pro-independence political movement, led by the Somerset Sovereignty Party (SSP). A combination of economic arguments—such as control over its agricultural output and tourism revenue—and cultural revival helped the independence movement gain momentum.
The turning point came in 2032, when a referendum on Somerset’s status was held. With a 58% majority, the people of Somerset voted to leave the United Kingdom and form an independent republic. Negotiations with Westminster were complex, with debates over currency, trade agreements, and military arrangements. However, by 2035, Somerset had fully transitioned to independence, establishing its own government, constitution, and economic policies.
Now a fully sovereign nation, the Republic of Somerset has embraced a model of sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and green energy to drive its economy. The capital, Taunton, houses the new government, which operates under a parliamentary system with a directly elected First Minister. The country maintains close ties with its former UK neighbors, particularly Devon and Dorset, while establishing new international partnerships.
As an independent nation, Somerset has successfully carved out its place in the world, balancing tradition with modern governance. The people of Somerset, proud of their newfound sovereignty, celebrate Independence Day every year on the anniversary of the referendum—a testament to their long journey from an English county to a thriving republic.

Somerset, a land of rolling hills, fertile plains, and rich history, has long been a distinct cultural and political entity within England. From its early Celtic inhabitants and Roman occupation to its Saxon heritage and medieval significance, Somerset has always maintained a unique identity. The county played a key role in various English conflicts, including the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, which sought to challenge the rule of King James II.
