  • Magna Britannia (Great Britain or Albion to the locals) is the largest province of the Insula Britannia and one of the major population centers of the Roman Empire. With the highest population in the Britannic provinces, Magna Britannia has the greatest economic influence in the area and its Senators garner more respect in the Senate than those of nearly any other province. The Consul of the Gaels is situated in Britannia's capital city of Londinium, making it the official center of the Romano-Celtic population. The Gaelic Foederata constitutes the provinces of Magna Britannia, Hibernia, Caledonia and Cambria. The position was created in the 1060's by Emperor Aegranus as part of his recreation of the Consular Congress in Rome following the counterrevolution that ended the Civil War. The Gaelic Consuls tend to spend their time in the city of Londinium as the proximity to Rome enables them to return to the Capitol in only a few hours time. Historically Magna Britannia was the agglomeration of the primary Celtic population centers in the Isles, and so didn't fall into Roman hands until the defeat of the Iceni Tribe in 61 CE. Since then it has received a great deal of focus from the Emperors in attempts to quickly integrate it into the Empire, something which is reflected in its over 86% ethnically Roman population. Britannia has also served as the launching pad for the conquests of both Caledonia (Scotland) and Hibernia (Ireland), and it remains the administrative center of the entire British Isles. Following the Imperial Civil War, once the Isles were retaken from the rebellious Legions, the old province of Britannia was split into three parts. The mainly Cymbrian west was separated into its own Province of Cambria, the sparsely populated north was reorganized with Caledonia and what remained became the urban and agricultural center that is Magna Britannia. With nearly a third of the population concentrated on the provincial capital, and most of the rest in less than a handful of major cities, Great Britain's surface area is mostly made up of vast open plains and marshes. This, along with its large slave population, has allowed it to be the largest producer of grain and other agricultural products in the isles, and easily one of the most self-sustainable Roman province.
