Loxwood’s Queen Katheryn Adelina I decided that enough was enough, and if the UK’s politicians weren’t going to sort things out then The Kingdom of Loxwood would have to go it alone.
Addressing the people of the realm, Queen Katheryn Adelina said: “Due to the political turmoil that is unfolding around us, we can no longer occupy the space between the past and the present. We must progress. We must move forward.”

Declared its intentions to its people through public address by Queen Katheryn Adelina 1
Has its own government and permanent population
Secured its own currency – The Loxwood Groat
Recruited its own army
This means that the Kingdom of Loxwood has legitimate grounds to apply for independence from the United Kingdom.
The only remaining steps are for it to be recognised by existing states within the international community, and possibly to join the United Nations.
