History: History
The New Brettony rose from the chaos that followed the collapse of the old world. Survivors along the eastern seaboard united under shared values of faith, duty, and order. They restored monarchic leadership, not as tyranny, but as a stabilizing tradition advised by councils.

Grand Duke Annatarin, a respected former officer, was chosen as the first sovereign, symbolizing steady, lawful leadership. Early years focused on survival, infrastructure, and drafting a constitution, balancing royal authority with representative government.

Christianity became the nation’s moral backbone, embraced freely by the people. The Duchy expanded peacefully or defensively by absorbing like-minded settlements. Unlike many new states, New Brettony avoided extremes and chose a path of stability through moral order and civic responsibility.

Government Structure
New Brettony is a constitutional monarchy with a unique blend of tradition and democracy.

The Grand Duke is Head of State and Government but delegates daily governance to a Prime Minister he appoints alone. The Prime Minister can be removed by a 3/5 vote of no confidence in the elected lower house.

The Upper House, modeled on the old British House of Lords but improved, includes hereditary nobles, senior clergy, and appointed life peers. It reviews laws, offers guidance, and can delay or amend legislation.

The Lower House, known as the House of Burgesses, is elected by the people through a mixed system that combines district and proportional representation. It initiates laws, controls spending, and can remove the Prime Minister with a 3/5 vote.

Coastal Areas:
New Brettony’s eastern border is defined by a jagged, rocky coastline dotted with natural harbors and historic port towns.

These forests provide natural resources like timber and game, sustaining rural communities and traditional industries.

To the north and west, the terrain becomes more mountainous, blending into the southern reaches of the White Mountains and the Green Mountains. These ranges are less forbidding than the Rockies but still provide natural defense, beautiful landscapes, and a source of fresh water from their many rivers and streams.
