History


The creation of Gabon resulted from the discovery of the uninhabited land mass by Captain Television and the subsequent claim of the land by Then Queen GetSkinny under the doctrine of terra nullius. Through the issuance of letters patent by The Queen, the Principality of Gabon was formed with the initial sole city of Salisbury. After that time, the Principality of Gabon flourished and increased its mainland territory. It then encompassed the village of Bakerswood on the southeast and the town of Cottingham in the south, recently adding the sub-province of Venice to the northeast of the capital.

Throughout this time as a Principality, The Principality of Gabon was governed by a small privy council and her Majesty Queen GetSkinny, who ascended to the throne after the death of her father, King George III, on 8 April 2008. The government was an absolute monarchy without a constitution.

After GetSkinny's accession to the throne, Her majesty, by letters patent created the position of Lord High Chancellor and through a Commission appointed BritishWanderer to that office. The Lord High Chancellor had effective control of the Privy Council and was entitled to require them to present information about the activities of Gabon to himself.
