During the Great Recession of 1929-2009, the standard of living in England deteriorated dramatically. In fact, by over 200% on average for the whole population. This meant it was impossible for anyone but the very rich to go on holiday. The Government of the time, lead by Winston Churchill decided that the best thing to do was provide free holidays for all, but this proved tricky. They did not have enough money. For that reason, they created Engrand, a spin-off of England, located in the Mediterranean, a cheap holiday destination.
