Gibson (Joan of What?)

New Cambridgeshire is a state in Southwestern Cygnia. It is bordered by Swanstone to the south, Auralia to the east, and Gascoyne to the north, and the to the west. New Cambridgeshire is the 5th smallest by land area and 8th most populous of the 18 Cygnian states.

New Cambridgeshire was established when the citizens of the city of Liverpool and its surrounds voted to form a new state. The territory seceded from Swanstone on 8 October 1823, and was admitted into the Federation as a state one week later on the 14th. During the short time it was not a state, New Cambridgeshire was known as the Territory of New Cambridgeshire. After rushed elections to the newly formed State Diet, the first New Cambridge government ratified the Constitution on 12 October, and New Cambridge's request to join the Federation was approved by the Imperial Congress on the 13th.

Liverpool is the state capital and its largest city. Its licence plates carry the state motto, "Pax Nos Defendit" (Peace Protects Us).
