Britannia is for cities and town who wish to declare fealty to the ruling powers of Britannia.  A Council of Britannia may rule over Britannia in the future.  Or perhaps there will be a new King or Queen.  However, some cities and towns already may declare fealty to Britannia as a way of life, law, and culture.

In older days, Britannia was ruled by Lord British.  However, he departed several years ago. 

Britannian Treason Act 

On December 8, 2006, Ricardo the Thief was tried and convicted of High Treason at the Court of Yew.  The prosecutor presented the Treason Act as evidence in the court case.  The Treason Act was read to contain the following points defining an act of treason against Britannia:

1.  Compass or imagine the death of our lord the Sovereign; or the Sovereign's companion; or their heir, or

2.  Levy war against the Sovereign in their Realm; or adhere to the Sovereign's enemies in their Realm; giving them aid or comfort in their Realm or elsewhere, or

3. Counterfeit the Royal Seal; or any of the Sovereign's money, or

4. Kill any member of the Royal Court; or the Sovereign's Justices; or the Royal Council while in their pursuit of their duties.

Extended Definition:

And because that many other like Cases of Treason may happen in Time to come, which a Man cannot think nor declare at the present Time; it is accorded, That if any other Case, supposed to Treason, which is not above specified, doth happen before any Justices, the Justices shall tarry without any going to Judgement of the Treason till the Cause be shewed and declared before the Sovereign and his Council, whether it ought to be judged Treason or other Felony.
