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. There are about 60 mickelred indwellers today, most within the great towns London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield and Bristol.
