Extremadura (1983: Doomsday)

The Kingdom of Extremadura or Extremeñu Kingdom (Extremeñu: Réinu d'Estremaura or Réinu Estremeñu, Spanish: Reino de Extremadura or Reino Extremeño) is a nation located in the western part of former Spain after. While the Kingdom is heavily pro-local and has emphasized the recovery of the Extremeñu language in opposition to the Spanish one, it is ruled by a member (or at least a claimant to membership) of the Castillio-English House of Alba.

Doomsday
Extremadura was not hit with any nuclear devices in the time of Doomsday. However, due to the "beheading" of the Spanish government after the death of most the royal house and Parliament, Extremadura soon was left isolated from the rest of Spain.

Post-Doomsday
With no Spanish state to re-establish government in the area, the mostly-untouched northern Estremeñu and southern Castillian and Leonese people were forced to take the matters of government upon themselves lest the immigration and lack of food became too much and the area was entirely destroyed. They established a local government as so many other Spanish states, with the Junta of Extremadura (Junta d'Estremaura, Junta de Extremadura) taking unofficial control of most of northern and central Extremadura as well as parts of Castilla and Leon's southern regions, Salamanca and Ávila.

While the state suffered from large famines and such problems (leading to a large drop of both regions' populations), it was able to stay together throughout the chaotic 80s. However, soon enough the Junta started to become obsolete as conditions stabilised. After a referendum in the areas resulting on a pro-monarchy victory and the looking for a suitable pretender (all in vain), eventually a man claiming to be young Cayetano Martínez de Irujo of the Duke of Alba's family (and living in the mansion on Alba de Tormes) showed up. With nobody better to choose, his family tree was validated and he was crowned King of Extremadura.

While some opposition showed up, especially among those more pro-Estremeñu and anti-Spanish people in the nation, Cayetano Martí was a rather popular choice in an Extremadura that saw itself in need of a leader and with no better option. He was crowned in 1992. His coronation saw the writing of an Extremeñu constitution, placing several ancient provincial customs (including the anthem and the former Leader of the Junta) as chief in the new, independent state. The constitution was put into order in January 1, 1993, and the Kingdom of Extremadura was born.
