Where is Nova Britannia?

[NomadicSky]

I was thinking where might a country exist with the name Nova Britannia?

[Flocculencio]

Almost anywhere, really- just have a slightly more classically-minded chap discover it and/or do the naming.

New Zealand could be this Nova Britannia as one of their early leaders, around 1900, had dreams of New Zealand becoming the Britain of the Pacific.

Hmm, I had a dream once were Michigan was the Rome of the Great Lakes…

Ah, it was the Rome of the Great Lakes? It like, did to the Great Lakes what the Romans did to the Mediterranean…

On Mars on the slopes of Olympia Mons or On Titan or Charron, in the Kuiper, the Oort, on the third planet of Tau Ceti, across the great void between this galactic arm and the next, in the Greater Magellanic Cloud. Perhaps the final citadel of human human thought, holding out against the heat death of the universe.

Whereever humans go there will allways be a legend of Arthur and a Nova Britannia.

However, far as Britannia may go there too will go Hibernnia, her people eterally enslaved, eternally seeking thier freedom. Where there is Nova Britannia there will be New Collins, Nova Tara, New Wolftone and Old Paddy.

On Mars on the slopes of Olypica Mons or On Titan or Caron, in the Kuiper, the Oort, on the third planet of Tau Ceti, across the great void between this galactic arm and the next, in the Greater Magellanic Cloud. Perhaps the final citadel of human human thought, holding out against the heat death of the universe.

However far humans go there will allways be a legend of Arthur and Nova Britannia.

I believe in the sequel to When Worlds Collide, After Worlds Collide, the British survivors establish a settlement named New Britannia.

[BurningWickerman]

(Vauxhall) Nova Britannia= A endless stretching wastleland of council houses and tower blocks with violent crime rates of 145.3 per 1000 people annualy. Tourists should be directed to the most cherished festivals of Nova Britannia, with endless street car chases of drug-filled joy riders in blingin' cars blaring Kanye West and the following blaze of sirens and ASBOs being distributed amongst random passers-by. Visitors are advised not too leave their B and Bs or show any interest in decent music.

Well...Albion originally didn't mean just England, it meant the island of Britain. So Nova Albion is Nova Britannia.
Or even using Nova Albion Roman Britannia only covered England & Wales just like England.

So its in California.

New Albion was OTL's California and Cascadia. I say Canada is a popular choice for a Nova Britannia. Then again, an East Caribbean Nova Britannia could be fun, say based in Bridgetown, Barbados (New England)?

I do like the idea of Aotearoa being "Nova Britannia" though.

More correctly New Albion is northern California, the area about San Francisco Bay. Cascadia is further north.

No part of Oregon of Washington could be included in New Albion?

According to the US government the whole of the US was what Drake claimed as Nova Albion.
Protestant maps of the 17th century often show Nova Albion as the general name for most of North America north of Spanish territory.
