Southwesterland

Southwesterland, also known as Dumnonia, is a country in the South West Peninsula of Great Britain. It became independent in 2036 and is a Grand Duchy. Its languages are Cornish and English. It has a population of 5.4 million and has a higher HDI than England.

History
Southwesterland were Indo-European tribes until Romans took over the area. However, there wasn't much use to South West England apart from farming. It then became a part of the kingdom of Wessex and England (and Denmark if you include the brief invasions and occupations).

When England became the United Kingdom, forests around the area began to be cut down, creating the moors of Devon, then later fossils & dinosaurs were discovered along the Lyme Bay coastline. At this point the peaceful fishing villages became seaside resorts for the rich. In the 1950s and 60s the tourism industry peaked and Southwesterland was advertised as a Mediterranean paradise. In the 1990s and 1980s that went downhill a bit, but then it got global recognition when the Eden Project was built, a large artificial Mediterranean and jungle biome dome and it received a lot of tourists from Japan, China and Germany.

In 2025, Southwesterland was given autonomy under the name South West England, that's when the flag was created out of Dorset, Somerset, Cornwall and Devon's flag.

In late 2033, Southwesterland became independent along with Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Brittany, They formed the Celtic Union (Ireland also joined) to help them get on their feet, they then were given their sovereignty back in 2036. However, they still use the Celtic Pound.
