History
The West Country was originally one of three semi-independent federations created in 1954 due to post-war austerity, alongside Northumbria and Midlandia. In the 2004 referendum, 54% of Westmen voted to remain at current status, alongside Northumbria. Midlandia voted to become fully independent, becoming Dantomkia in the process.

Ten years later, the independence movement in the West Country began to pick up again, leading to another referendum in May 2015. This time, 75% of the federation voted for full independence, which became official in August. This referendum inspired the independence referendum in the Falkland islands, who, one year later voted to become independent as Falklandia. John Walker was elected as the first president of the fledgling nation.
