London is a city-state on the island of Great Britain. It is considered the largest and wealthiest city and state in the entire post Covid-19 world. London used to be the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of just under 9 million.

## History

### Ancient History

Despite the evidence of scattered Brythonic settlements in the area, the first major settlement was founded by the Romans about four years after the invasion of 43 AD. This only lasted until about 61 AD, when the Iceni tribe led by Queen Boudica stormed it and burnt it to the ground.

With the early 5th-century collapse of Roman rule, London ceased to be a capital and the walled city of Londinium was effectively abandoned, although Roman civilisation continued around St Martin-in-the-Fields until about 450. From about 500, an Anglo-Saxon settlement known as Lundenwic developed slightly west of the old Roman city. From the 820s repeated Viking assaults brought decline.

After winning the Battle of Hastings, William, Duke of Normandy was crowned King of England in newly completed Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. William built the Tower of London, the first of many such in England rebuilt in stone in the south-eastern corner of the city, to intimidate the inhabitants. Tower of London was destroyed by German spies in 2027.

During the Tudor period the Reformation produced a gradual shift to Protestantism. Much of London property passed from church to private ownership, which accelerated trade and business in the city.

### Pre-Covid

Starting mainly in the mid-1960s, London became a centre for worldwide youth culture, exemplified by the Swinging London sub-culture. During The Troubles in Northern Ireland, London was hit from 1973 by bomb attacks by the Provisional Irish Republican Army.

Greater London's population declined in the decades after the Second World War, from an estimated peak of 8.6 million in 1939 to around 6.8 million in the 1980s. The Greater London Council was abolished in 1986, leaving London with no central administration until 2000 and the creation of the Greater London Authority. In 2008, Time named London alongside New York City and Hong Kong as Nylonkong, hailing them as the world's three most influential global cities. During the Brexit referendum in 2016, the UK as a whole decided to leave the European Union, but most London constituencies voted for remaining.

### Post-Covid

After the first lockdown citizens of London decided to arm themselves and stay home. This was a vital moment for London and its future. When in 2023 the government has falled and gangs from the North decided to invaded London, citizens were ready to repel their attacks. A new provinsional government was formed in 2024 and in 2026 it was voted the constitution that is enforced until today.Many landmarks were burnt. In 2027 the Great Mafia War broke out. Irish Mafia with Right-Wing underground groups tried to kill the president and take power. Northern gangs who have been seetled in London captured some neighborhoods. Chaos started to spread in the city. However, government's army and militias fought door to door and enforced peace. The war lasted for 5 years. It was the worst time for London. Since then, government offered stability and economical prosperity.

London is considered the only civilized megacity in Europe. It is the biggest port and trade node in the Atlantic. Despite its strict immigration policies it is a goal for every European to live there.

## Political System

The system London follows is a Presidential free-speech Athenian Classist Multi-Level Oligarchy. It is a hybrid regime with two parliaments.

London Parliament is elected every 4 years by the people. Each electoral region elects its representatives proportionally to its population. Then electoral regions are combined in teams of 5 and more seats are allocated (+4x to the first party, +3x, +2x, +x to the rest where x is 1 or 2).

The Chamber of honours is not elected. Different classes and society groups own some seats. These seats are covered via internal elections or decisions.

This seat allocation is as follows:

Both parliaments have the right to pass laws. The other parliament must verify the vote. President has the right to veto a result. Then both parliaments vote again 1 month after the veto. President resolves ties in both parliaments.

Elections take place every 4 years. After 2 years of each election day, there are midterm Ostracism elections. People can nominate with 2000 signatures for a candidate. The top-voted candidate is exiled for 15 years from the state and is excluded from any political positions for the rest of his life. Elections were supposed to take place electronically if the voter has an e-signature. However, lack of electricity has restricted this option for years.

Constitution can be reformed every 12 years and 3/5 of the votes are needed. The format of the political system, liberties of free speech, basic human rights, free and uncensored internet rights cannot be changed.

Owners of the press cannot own directly or indirectly any more than 2 media and not any more than 1 medium per field (you can’t own two newspapers or 2 TV channels).

Each district of London has its own Local Government. There are 33 Local Governments. Local government has not the right to change laws. It is elected every 5 years. At the same time, voters choose to change/remove/pass one local law that is valid for 5 years. This law is valid only in the region it is voted for. President has the right to veto the first law. Then the second most voted one is the confirmed winner and there is no veto option. Laws about taxes, human rights and the safety of the state cannot be changed.

## Infrastructure

London is one of the most advanced societies in the post-covid world.

Either with missions for oil extraction in North Sea, or with raids in England and Northern Europe, London is sustainable in oil consumption.

As far as energy is concerned, London is the only state in the world that provides electricity to all each citizens from 10:00-22:00 every day. In addition, industry has access to electricity 24/7 via a private grid owned by London-E.inc, the biggest private electricity provider in the entire known world. Main sources of energy are the seized wind parks in North Sea, dams in Norway and turbines in England.

Internet is free and is available for 4 hours per day during winter months. During summer, internet is only available for 3 days per week for 4 hours due to overheating of the grid.
