A commonwealth in the thesaurus is another word for Republic, and the Baron's original title was a Magnet (Ma-ag-ne-T) which in the thesaurus was another word for president, after a while, he became a Baron and stated he was a monarch. Seeing he could not have a republic with a monarch, he changed it into the Grand Barony of Voltar on the 10th of June 2011. A Barony is a defunct term for an area of land governed by a baron. On the 1st of January, the nation became the Kingdom of New Anglia.

External History and Foreign Relations

The first Micronation to be allied with New Anglia was the Kingdom of the Dale Empire, one reason being that King Danny Clarke I is a Liverpool F. C. supporter and the Coat of Arms of Voltar (At that time) contained the Liver Bird. These two nations started the E. U. (M) (European Union (Micronational) but became disbanded. The Nation is now the Dale Republic.

The seconded Micronation was the Empire of Arboria, who had joined the E. U. (M), all three nation joined in the Triple Alliance. The Empire then join with two other nations: the Kingdom of the Oakland and the Empire of Dallmark, all three of these nations became the Holy Dallmark Empire, with the leader of the first two: Felix I as the Holy Empire of Dallmark. When the three nations came to this Wiki, the Barony was not included in the reform of the Alliance. The Marxist People's Republic of Burkland was found a suitable replacement.

The Emperor of Dallmark Felix I or as his user: Kokoszkingston, became inactive due to a block of his user, the page of his micronation was deleted, however, the block was supposed lasted for two days, 22–24 August, and as this was written on the 28th. Felix returned to the site but under the Username: Monarchia, he has left a message on the King's User Discussion Page, however, he has not corresponded since.

28 June 2011 New Anglia accepted an Alliance with The Fumetsu Empire, however, is seems inactive at the present time.

The State of Bascal became an ally.

Legatia is also an ally.

North Crawford has been added to the list of Allies.

The Liver Bird

The National Bird of New Anglia

The Earliest use of the Bird been associated with the then-town of Liverpool was on a seal dating from the 1350s which is now held in the British Museum. The possible species is long debated, the seal that King John had to give Liverpool the right to be a Borough back in 1207, in honour of his patron saint, frequently used the device of an eagle- associated with St. John.

By the 17th century, the origins of the bird had begun to be forgotten, with references to the bird as a cormorant, still a common bird in the coastal waters near Liverpool. The 17th century mace refers to a "leaver", while a manual on heraldry from later in the century confuses matters further by assuming this term is related to the old Low Dutch word lefter, meaning spoonbill - a bird rarely found in northern England.

The College of Arms refers to a cormorant, adding that the sprig in the mouth is of laver, a type of seaweed, thus implying that the bird's appellation comes from the sprig.

The bird thus appears to have originally been intended to be an eagle but is now officially a cormorant. Many modern interpretations of the symbol are of a cormorant, although several - notably that on the emblem of Liverpool Football Club - distinctly show the short head and curved beak more readily associated with a bird of prey.

It is commonly seen on top of the Liver Building, it's also found on many coats of arms in Liverpool, most notably Liverpool Football Club.
