Doggerland

Doggerland is the country in which the Imaginary Elections Mock Elections are held. It is located in the middle of the North Sea.

History
The land has been continually inhabited since the mid-1600s, being populated largely by Scandinavian and British peoples. From 1755 to 1761, a large migration of Brits occurred, many of them settling in the [NAME] province, creating the capital city of [NAME]. Whereas this did not make up a large amount of the population initially, the size of their settlement gradually grew, and their descendants make up the majority of the modern population of the entire main island. The city of Nivelford formed after a brief wave of German immigration during the Franco-Prussian War in the early 1870s. The city derives its names from the German word "Nebel," meaning fog, due to the fogginess of the area upon the immigrants' arrival, and the continued presence of fog in the area.

Politics
Since the 1700s, Doggerland has been governed by an absolute monarchy. On January 25, 2021, the country decided to adopt a democracy as well as maintaining their monarchy. As part of the resulting January 2021 legislative elections, its citizens also formally voted to join the European Union on January 28, 2021.
