The Plutocracy of Titania (Titania) is a nation established in 2019. It is governed by its sole leader, Her Grace the Duchess of Titania, tomicalover. The town is based on the American Gilded Age and Edwardian Era England; a time in which the wealthy built lavish residences and enjoyed endless social events. Its name is derived from the famed ocean liner, Titanic. The time frame is approximately 1900-1915.

History

Established by Duchess tomicalover in October of 2019, Titania is a plutocracy; a society governed by the wealthy. In October of 2019, Titania joined the United Republic. In the previous creative map, Titania never came to fruition due to the unfortunate timing of the 2020 wipe.

On the 18th of April, 2020, the then Duchess of Titania, tomicalover, formally reestablished Titania for the new 2020 creative map. This took place due to a request by SOP Estevaobuilder who requested that tomicalover build a town to unify the region and connect with his nation. The Duchess agreed and laid the groundwork for what would be Titania's first manor, Marble House. From this agreement, Titania joined the United Republic of Corallium.

On the 13th of January, 2021, Titania formally separated from Corallium. In a letter addressed to the citizens and government of Corallium, Titania stated its plans to become independent. Titania subsequently established itself as its own nation. As the only heir to the throne, tomicalover acceded to become Queen of Titania. The Duchess then stepped down as Queen, preferring her previous title and absence of national responsibilities. Titania also announced that citizens of Corallium and other nations such as Cascadia would be required to have temporary visitor visas if they wish to enter Titania. Citizens are exempt from this requirement if their nation has an International Agreement with Titania or if they do not associate with any nation.

Royal Family

The ruling elite of Titania is the Astor Family. The Astors have been in power since Titania's conception in the early 1800s. Her Grace the Duchess of Titania is a direct descendant of John Jacob Astor I, the most powerful man of the 20th century. The Duchess currently resides in the royal residence, Marble House.

Elstowe Manor

The first planned structure in Titania was Elstowe Manor based on the real manor built in 1898 and designed by Horace Trumbauer. The main manor's exterior was completed with approximately 70% of the interior furnished to plan. Unfortunately, the surrounding garden and tennis court could not be completed before the map wipe of 2020.
