A Special Visit

The successful conclusion of the World Airplane Expo finally gave Arthur the leisure to prepare for the establishment of the two kingdoms in North America.

Aside from the already-decided Kingdom of California, another kingdom was named the West Coast United Kingdom, with its capital in Seattle, the largest city in Washington.

The reason for choosing this location was that Seattle was close to the sea, allowing its maritime industries to develop, while the city's prospects for growth were even greater.

This relatively large city, one of the few in the northwestern United States, had also left no shortage of footprints in history.

Seattle's shipbuilding industry was fairly developed at present. Relying on shipbuilding could also improve the economy of the West Coast United Kingdom.
