Northumberlandball is a northern countyball of 
Englandball.
History
Northumberland has long been a frontier between Englandball and 
Scotlandball, and throughout history (and 
prehistory) countless castles have been created in their rocky lands.
The first true Northumbrian ball was 
Berniciaball, who unified with 
Deiraball to create the mighty kingdom of Northumbria, stretching from Hull to Edinburgh. Not all was peaceful, though, as Scotlandball frequently laid claim unto their territory.
In 1237, after taking much of what we now know as Southern Scotland, the Scots relinquished their claims on the land. Since then, Northumberlandball has been a happy county of Englandball and the 
UK.
In the 1970's and 80's, Northumberlandball became known for their miner's strikes as coal mines shut down around them; the economy is now mostly tourism.
