England
From The Anglish Moot
England is a land on the island of Great Britain in the north-west of Europe.
Its name and being come from the Angles who began settling there in the 400s along with the Saxons, Danes and Jutes. Before this settling there was no land called England, but rather the whole of Great Britain was a mingling of Celtish and Roman folk.
Today, England is one of the four lands that make up the Banded Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, along with Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. About 60,000,000 folk live in England today, most within the great towns London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield and Bristol.
