Lagentia was a colony of the Empire of Adammia. It was located at the residence of Emperor Adam I in Kirkstall. It was 221m² in size and had one permanent resident. It was claimed in November 2020 when the Emperor began renting the property. In July 2021, place-names were created for the colony, most notably the city of Turing. In August 2024 Lagentia was dissolved after the Emperor bought and moved into the property now known as Normandensis.
Etymology
Lagentia was named after the nearby site of the Roman fort of Lagentium in modern-day Castleford.
Geography
The north of Lagentia was dominated by the city of Turing, the de-facto capital of the colony. The south was mostly empty grassland, which sloped upwards towards its southernmost point, which was known as Bain Hill.
Locations
- Turing was named after Alan Turing, the father of computer science. Emperor Adam I studied computer science at university.
- Randouler Way, a footpath which connected the east border crossing to Turing, was named after young micronationalist Nicholas Randouler, Prince of Posaf, who passed away in 2020.
- Armstrong Square was named for Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon.
- Asquith House, home to the Office of the Emperor, was named after H. H. Asquith, a British Prime Minister belonging to the Liberal Party (the predecessor of the modern Liberal Democrats, of which the Emperor is a member). Genealogical research has resulted in speculation that Asquith may have been a very distant relation of the House of Belcher.
- Bain Hill was named after John "TotalBiscuit" Bain, a prominent British video games critic, who passed away in 2018. Emperor Adam I has cited Bain as an influence on his public speaking style.
