Kingdom of Englandball was a kingdom in the British Isles. Its clay is part of modern today's 
UKball.
History
In 
Jutlandball, 
Germanic-speaking peoples called 
Anglo-Saxons came into the British Isles. The Anglo-Saxons lived quite peacefully, being invaded by 
Vikings multiple times, but it was no big deal and later unified under 
Wessexball. That is, until 
Duchy of Normandyball attacked Englandball in what is known today as the Norman conquest of England, bringing in the 
French language and a new flag for Englandball, with 2 blue quadrants with fleur-de-lis and 2 red quadrants with 3 lions.
Kingdom of Englandball during the 1300s was at war with 
Kingdom of Franceball for 116 years, but we'll just call it the 100 Years War because "the 116 Years War" doesn't have the same ring to it. The Kingdom of Englandball managed to hold off the French for a long time until the French pushed back and secured a victory.
1455, Englandball was at war with itself in what is now known as the Wars of the Roses. This was caused after the current king was being a horrible king with absolutely no kingly talents whatsoever. The 2 belligerents were the House of Lancaster (of which the current king was a part) and the House of York (who wanted to overthrow the king). In the beginning, the king's wife was busy doing all the fighting while the king hid. This lasted for a long time until the Yorks successfully overthrew the king, until being overthrown thereafter by a new house known as the House of Tudor.
Englandball was a little late to the colonial game, and so, it tried its hardest to create its own empire, founding colonies only to fail much later. That is until the year 1624 when it colonized 
St. Kitts and Nevisball and 
Barbadosball successfully.
Englandball was also really good at stealing clay from every other nation, gobbling up 
Gibraltarball and 
Jamaicaball from 
Spainball and also halting 
Netherlandsball from eating up the Caribbean, making England the American powerhouse until 1707 when it anschlussed united with 
Scotlandball to form 
Great Britainball, effectively ending English Empireball and starting British Empireball.
