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. |

The Grand Duchy of New Brettony occupies a proud and historic place in the New England region of North America, encompassing parts of modern-day Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Its borders stretch from the rugged Atlantic coastline westward into the rolling hills and dense forests of the interior, creating a diverse and strategically valuable landscape.
Coastal Areas:
New Brettony’s eastern border is defined by a jagged, rocky coastline dotted with natural harbors and historic port towns. These ports have been crucial since the nation’s founding, serving as gateways for trade, fishing, and naval defense. The cold Atlantic waters shape much of the local climate, bringing cool summers and snowy, harsh winters.
Forests and Highlands:
Moving inland, the terrain rises into forested highlands and mountain ranges. The southern and western parts of New Brettony feature thick, ancient forests dominated by pine, spruce, and hardwood trees. 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.
Rivers and Lakes:
Several major rivers wind through New Brettony, including tributaries of the Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers, supplying water for agriculture and settlements. Numerous lakes and freshwater bodies dot the landscape, supporting fishing and outdoor recreation, which form part of the national character. |

Economic System:
New Brettony follows a mixed-market economy. Private ownership and entrepreneurship are protected and encouraged, but the state takes an active role in key areas like infrastructure, resource regulation, and national resilience.

A progressive income tax ensures that wealthier citizens contribute more to the public good, while small businesses and lower-income earners benefit from tax relief.
