Britney

**Britney** is a country located at the northwesternmost point of Vellichor and is a bordering country to the *Impassible North*. Britney is also a border to two other countries in Vellichor, them being Deleon to the south and The Wildland to the east; to the west, the Wind-Kissed Ocean is present which also influences Britney's wet climate.

## History

The Nobodies were the only residents of Britney, formerly known as North Deleon. They were led by Britney, a Romani jewel-merchant who also hungered for a gloomy, rainy, and wet environment. The Nobodies were a group of about 120 outcasts who were drawn away from society in South Deleon (now just 'Deleon') and travelled north to escape the yearly sun, humidity, and heat South Deleon had to offer in its desert region. After travelling through the many biomes of South Deleon, including corn valleys and coastal cliffy waterfalls, they finally arrived in the lush, mossy, and wet country of North Deleon after walking through a thick cover of mist on the thirteenth day. Lady Souleil De Leon, the current queen of South Deleon, decided to check on the Nobodies and Britney and found them in southernmost North Deleon, where a quick pact was signed between the two ladies to separate the area south of the mist and north of the mist, establishing the country of Britney.

## Country Description

Britney is a country in western Vellichor that has three international borders. The country is well-known for being drenched in precipitation and heavy rainfall as well as being one of the windiest and foggiest regions in the world with annual rainfall averaging 11,870 millimeters with 267 days of very heavy rainfall. The president of the country, Duke Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, has decided due to the extreme rainfall in his country that the national outfit should be no other then the traditional rainhat, raincoat, rainboots, and umbrella. The country used to be part of Deleon but the extreme weather differences between the two have split the countries and about 300 years ago, Britney was made. The country is extremely lush and green, with emerald-shone meadows due to the amount of rainfall. The country's heavy rainfall has made it home to an abundance of rain-loving animals such as the common bullfrog, the common frog, the earthworm, the mallard duck, the common slug, the common snail, the mute swan, the common goose, the red fox, the cellar bat, the white-tailed deer, and the rabbit. People in Britney have a variety of accents, depending on which region of the country they are from. In Northern Britney, people would likely have a British-influenced accent, while in Southern Britney, people would likely have a more American-influenced accent. Additionally, people in Britney who speak Singsong English would likely have a unique accent that is distinct from both British and American accents.
