The Brettish Isles, also called Brettania or the Commonwealth of the Brettish Isles, is a micronation based on a combination of Victorian and Cromwellian England. Located in the northeast corner of Micras, the country seceded from Batava following a long period of inactivity in that nation, taking up the mantle of unofficial heir to the legacy of New Brittania while also developing its own unique style.

Government

History
Delvenus
In its earliest history the Brettish Isles were occupied first by the Republic of Delvenus.
Pax Brittania
The Kingdom of New Brittania succeeded in uniting the islands and forging a strong naval empire that spanned the oceans and centuries. Wherever wood could swim, there you could be sure to see the flag of New Brittania. New Brittanians were an offshoot of the Lovely Diaspora but stood out as an exceptional micronation thanks to the enigmatic leadership of King Jeremy, who founded the empire.
Batavia
After the fall of New Brittania, the Kingdom of Batavia, based nearby on Benacia, absorbed and colonized the islands, renaming them Nova Batavia.
