His Royal Highness, King Kevin of Þiðbandið & Jabia

Hello everyone, my name is Kevin Knight, and I am King of Þiðbandið, It's Colonies, and the Þiðbandið empire.
If you are wondering where Þiðbandið is, it is in the southern part of the continent of Neapiri. We also have colonies located in the western parts of Neapiri.
We are the largest country on the continent, and are the oldest and most powerful - now bow down to me!
