Almondia

The Kingdom of Almondia, shortened to Almondia, is a nation in North America, established on November 12. It currently consists of the northernmost portion of Quebec. It is one of the rump states that was established following the dissolution of the Vincentarian Federation of Mappercraft Colonies, and considers itself the true successor to the former nation, being situated on the former territory of New Estremia and being ruled by the House of Vincentaria.

History
After the dissolution of the VFMC, Almondia was formed in the northern half of what was once known as New Estremia. It was named after the player who planned out and began building what would have been the official capital city of the VFMC. They are known as r0adkills in-game, but they typically go by Almond in most cases, so they became the namesake of the Kingdom.

On November 22, Almondia became one of the founding members of the North Atlantic Union. It is a special autonomous region of the Union, so it is still administered by the House of Vincentaria.

Politics
Unlike its predecessor, which was a federal monarchy, Almondia has been established as an absolute monarchy. This was done because Almondia is much smaller than the VFMC in both size and population and is fully contiguous with no overseas territories. Therefore, an absolute monarchy would be much more manageable.

The monarchy is once again ruled by BigVinny24 and saltimadi, who take the titles as King Vincenzo I and Queen Madi I of Almondia, respectively. They still hold the title of Vincentarian Emperor/Empress, however that title is not used individually on Mappercraft, instead being applied to colonies on other servers.

r0adkills is the Almondian Ambassador and is responsible for handling most diplomatic tasks.

The Kingdom has adopted a neutral and isolationist method of foreign policy which arose from an analysis of the mistakes of the VFMC. The VFMC expanded too much too quickly, and as a result it was hated by many nations and was too involved in European affairs. This onslaught of external pressure on the VFMC ultimately led to its collapse.
