| abstract | - The Kingdom of Washingtonia (Washingtonia or incorrectly referred to as Washington) is an island nation in the North Atlantic consisting of two major islands, North Island and South Island, which are also provinces onto themselves. There are a further eight smaller islands scattered around the two main islands. North Island is physically larger however has a smaller population (2,117,928) than the physically smaller South Island (4,672,195). Washingtonia, previously known as Beauchemin, was a French colony between its first settlement on 9 October 1532 and the Friendship Agreement of 22 February 1791 when the colony was handed over to George Washington and his followers following his exile from the United States. After taking over the colony, Washington proclaimed himself King of Washingtonia and the Washington dynasty has ruled ever since. The Kingdom is both a constitutional monarchy and a presidential republic, where the King serves both a ceremonial and executive role as head of state, and the President is the popularly elected head of government. The Washingtonian Civil War of 1899-1910 was a notable event in Washingtonian political history as it gave rise to the nation's first democratically elected representative body, the Grand Washingtonian Assembly, under its first Constitution. The Grand Assembly is a unicameral legislature wherein its assemblymen are democratically elected at the same time as the President, every five years. Foundersville, North Island is the nation's capital and has held that status since the Kingdom's founding. It was known as Singing prior to 1891. It is the nation's second largest city by population, second to Dandridge, South Island. The current King of Washingtonia is Randall I, succeeding his father, George IV. President Travis O'Neill has been the head of government since his inauguration on 1 June 2011. The Union Nationalist Party has dominated Washingtonian politics in general and the Grand Assembly in particular, and currently holds 57.3% of the seats, with the Christian Libertarian Party forming the opposition at 29.6% of the seats.
