Wrythe

Wrythe is the capital city of the Empire of Austenasia, proclaimed so in the 2008 Declaration of Independence.

History
Wrythe was founded on 20 September 2008 as the first piece of sovereign Austenasian territory. It was the only Austenasian land until 21 February 2009, when Glencrannog was annexed by the Empire. On 28 August 2009, the Austenasian Army invaded and occupied a small piece of ajoining land known as Commius Flats, which was de jure annexed the day afterwards.

Features
Wrythe consists of:

The Imperial Residence
A three bedroomed semi-detached house which is the residence of the Imperial Family and nominal meeting place of Parliament. Also known as 1 Imperial Road and 312 Green Wrythe Lane, the Imperial Residence is the centre of Wrythe.

Wrythe Public Park
A lawn, flowerbeds and patio next to the Imperial Residence, home to all sorts of wildlife and the frequent visiting place of the Imperial Family. It features Wrythe Pet Cemetary, the final resting place for a crab and 4 fish.

2 Imperial Road
A one-roomed structure at the opposite end of Wrythe Public Park from the Imperial Residence. No official purpose has been given to it yet, but it is Crown property and there are plans to transform it into a prison or storage facility.

Commius Flats
Named after the first confirmed ruler of the land of Wrythe, a King Commius, Commius Flats is a small area of cemented-over ground seperated from Wrythe Public Park by 2 Imperial Road. It is State property under the Stewardship of the Ministry of Defence, and there are plans to transform it into a weapons testing site.
