London



London was formerly the capital of Britain, in the United Kingdom. However, since the New World's inception, Britain as a nation no longer exists. It is currently under the control of Netami Kihaku.

History
Mere days after the creation of the New World, the leader of London was assassinated in his own office with only a tanto dagger inscribed with the kanji for "revenge" as a clue to the murderer. Due to London's newfound proximity to the city of Tokyo, the former Japanese capital was blamed for the attack and tensions between the two cities rose. Mere weeks later, Tokyo suffered a severe terrorist attack, resulting in massive casualties. London was, in turn, blamed for this, believed by the Japanese people to be an act of retaliation for the perceived slight that Tokyo had caused them. Unknown to both, the two cities and the events that plagued them were little more than pawns in a political gambit. With London now leaderless, elections were held to determine a new leader.

Days into the campaign, candidates began to suffer horrific deaths until eventually only two remained: the young emergent political representative Netami Kihaku, and the more experienced Walter Nightengale. During one of his political speeches, however, Netami was shot through the shoulder in a botched assassination attempt due to the interference of Skie Demiji. Despite the severe injury, he continued to deliver his speech and won the resulting election by a landslide, while Walter quietly disappeared into the shadows.

Immediately following this, Netami arranged peace negotiations with Tokyo which proved successful, forging an alliance between the two cities. When the leader of Tokyo passed away through natural causes a short time afterward, London became the head of the London-Tokyo alliance, gaining Karakura Town as a protectorate. It took Viridian City as a second protectorate shortly thereafter after liberating the city from Team Rocket.

Months later, London suffered the misfortune of being caught in the crossfire in the battle between Vesta Dyre Meiriella and her master. In an attempt to take his student's servants from her and break her tentative alliance with London, the Necromancer sent a legion of zombified ghouls into the city, infecting many of the citizens. Infected sections were quarantined, but during the night, London security was hard pressed to keep them at bay. A team of elites was assembled, including London's own Prime Minister, and after several hours of fierce fighting they were able to eradicate the zombie menace and restore the undead beings to Vesta's control.

Shortly afterwards, the city underwent another attack by the undead, this time led by the vampire, Incognito. Trained from their last battle with the deceased horrors, this time the London defenders were prepared and managed to repel the attack with minimal casualties, employing bullets blessed in holy water, combined with devastating combination attacks from Pokemon against which the vampire horde was outmatched.

During Nararia's reign of terror, the city enjoyed a brief time of peace and prosperity as a truce formed between Netami and Nararia Crimzone kept the Mazoku away from the city. However, Nararia ultimately broke the deal with Netami and attacked, beginning what may be known as the Third Battle of London. During this battle, the Mazoku met harsh resistance from the city's defenders, as Vesta Meiriella, Netami Kihaku and the Mother, Tifa, banded together to battle her, ultimately defeating her and sealing her away, albeit causing great collateral damage to the city in doing so.

Because of the Seige of London by The Necromancer's forces, and a subsequent smaller attack by Incognito, the City of London has become a city under "Marshal Law".
