Elizabeth was the first daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sydney, later {{JoW|George IV of Cygnia|King George IV}} and {{JoW|Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon|Queen Elizabeth}}. Her father acceded to the throne on the abdication of his brother {{JoW|Edward II of Cygnia|Edward II}} in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She began to undertake public duties during the {{JoW|World War III|Third World War}}, serving in the Army Reserve Women's Corps. In 1947, she married {{JoW|Philip, Prince Consort of Cygnia|Philip Mountbatten}}, a prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she has four children: {{JoW|Charles, Prince of Wales}}; {{JoW|Anne, Princess Royal}}; {{JoW|Prince Andrew, Duke of Melbourne}}; and {{JoW|Prince Edward, Earl of Hobart}}.
Ellory I was the youngest son of [[Theodore IV of Cygnia (Game of Nations)|Theodore IV]], and was given his name for its connection to swans. As the youngest of five children, he was not expected to inherit the throne and spent his early life in the shadow of his elder siblings, especially his oldest brother, [[Alexander, Duke of Augusta (Game of Nations)|Alexander]]. He attended Swanstone Imperial Academy for the first years of his schooling years, until the age of twelve. Throughout his early life Ellory was known as a calm, intelligent and sensitive child who was constantly aware of his surroundings.

When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth became monarch of a newly emerged {{JoW|Cygnia|Union}}, born from the collapse of the preceding {{JoW|Empire of Cygnia}} at the close of the Third World War. Her early reign saw the first steps taken after the promulgation of a {{JoW|Constitution of Cygnia|new constitution}}, and the decolonisation of Asia. Between 1956 and 2000, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and realms, including Pakistan, South Africa, Ceylon (renamed Sri Lanka), Tuvalu, and California, became republics. Her many historic visits and meetings include a state visit to Japan and visits to or from five popes. Significant events have included her coronation in 1953 and the celebrations of her Silver, Golden, and Diamond Jubilees in 1977, 2002, and 2012 respectively. In 2017, she became the first Cygnian monarch to reach a Sapphire Jubilee. She is the longest-lived and longest-reigning Cygnian monarch as well as the world's longest-reigning queen regnant and female head of state, the oldest and longest-reigning current monarch and the longest-serving current head of state.
Prince Ellory was eleven years old when the Imperial Palace Massacre took place on 3 May 1933. A group of Imperial Army soldiers entered the Palace on a pretext and proceeded to shoot the Imperial Family, their aides, guards and maids; he was the only survivor, sustaining moderate, but not life-threatening, injuries. He subsequently and quietly escaped from [[Swanstone (Game of Nations)|Swanstone]], and fled to the countryside, where he was found and taken in by the loyalist [[Kennedy family (Game of Nations)|Kennedy family]]. He lived with the Kennedys for the next ten years before returning to prominence in the midst of the [[Great Australian War (Game of Nations)|Great Australian War]] as leader of the Revolutionary movement that ultimately [[Cygnian Revolution (Game of Nations)|toppled the Hellerist government]].
 
   
  +
Elizabeth has occasionally faced republican sentiments and press criticism of the royal family, in particular after the breakdown of her children's marriages, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the death in 1997 of her former daughter-in-law Diana, Duchess of Sydney. However, support for the monarchy remains high, as does her personal popularity.
After the Revolution, Prince Ellory assumed control of the Armed Forces, just in time for the [[Battle of Swanstone (Game of Nations)|Battle of Swanstone]], an extended siege of the national capital by enemy forces. With more competent commanders having returned to the military, the Cygnian Army under the Prince achieved a hard-won victory, and began the push to expel Australien forces from Cygnian territory. The Great Australian War ended in 1945 with an Australien surrender, and Ellory oversaw the occupation of Australie and the creation of the Federal Republic of Australie which replaced the former Australien Rijk.
 
 
In 1946, Prince Ellory was finally crowned as the first [[Emperor of the Cygnians (Game of Nations)|monarch]] of a restored [[Cygnia (Game of Nations)|Empire]]. He remained on the throne for the next fifty years, becoming the longest-reigning Cygnian Emperor in history. He was succeeded by his eldest son [[Theodore V of Cygnia (Game of Nations)|Theodore V]] upon his death in 1996.

Elizabeth (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the current Queen of the Cygnians, having reigned since 6 February 1952.

Elizabeth was the first daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sydney, later King George IV and Queen Elizabeth. Her father acceded to the throne on the abdication of his brother Edward II in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She began to undertake public duties during the Third World War, serving in the Army Reserve Women's Corps. In 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she has four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of Melbourne; and Prince Edward, Earl of Hobart.

When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth became monarch of a newly emerged Union, born from the collapse of the preceding Empire of Cygnia at the close of the Third World War. Her early reign saw the first steps taken after the promulgation of a new constitution, and the decolonisation of Asia. Between 1956 and 2000, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and realms, including Pakistan, South Africa, Ceylon (renamed Sri Lanka), Tuvalu, and California, became republics. Her many historic visits and meetings include a state visit to Japan and visits to or from five popes. Significant events have included her coronation in 1953 and the celebrations of her Silver, Golden, and Diamond Jubilees in 1977, 2002, and 2012 respectively. In 2017, she became the first Cygnian monarch to reach a Sapphire Jubilee. She is the longest-lived and longest-reigning Cygnian monarch as well as the world's longest-reigning queen regnant and female head of state, the oldest and longest-reigning current monarch and the longest-serving current head of state.

Elizabeth has occasionally faced republican sentiments and press criticism of the royal family, in particular after the breakdown of her children's marriages, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the death in 1997 of her former daughter-in-law Diana, Duchess of Sydney. However, support for the monarchy remains high, as does her personal popularity.
