Anglia

The Kingdom of Anglia, commonly known simply as Anglia, is a sovereign nation-state in western Asgarnia, Founded by Varis, Earl of Rimmington and Nolfavrell Reliquia, Chancellor of the Republic of Monvallis, it serves as the largest sovereign state within the area of the de jure Kingdom of Asgarnia. The Kingdom of Anglia borders Troll Country to its north, the City of Falador to its south, the town of Draynor to it's east and the Empire of Gielinor to it's west. Aside from its land borders, Anglia also borders the Cather Bay.

The Kingdom of Anglia had once enshrined a constitutional monarchy and so powers are divided between the Crown and the Parliament. However, the monarch delegates some of his duties to others, whether it be governance through the feudal system, judicial matters being handled by the courts et cetera.

Anglia also hosts the Deistic Church of the Three Great Benevolents within its borders at the Basilica of Saint Virgil the Prophet, and Deism is formally the state religion, with the legitimacy of the monarch confirmed by the approval of the Gods in his coronation at the Basilica.
