Hmmm, interesting point. I would wonder if Gristol got the Britain treatment and was actually occupied by people from other nations and then eventually became a world power, but that would take a lot longer than 200 years. Perhaps intermarriage between royal families, i.e. the Habsburgs?

Good point on the Empresses, they do seem to have ruled since the early days. It's hard to say with some of those names--the only ones I'd for sure peg as feminine are Valessa Morgengaard, Zolana Olaskir and Larisa Olaskir--but still a good observation.

(Also, Ailish Rhydderch? If that's not Morlish, I'll eat my hat.)
