Delmar Peninsula

The Delmar Peninsula is a large peninsula in the Unionist Core of the Eastern United States. To the east is Great Lanta; the west, Delmar Bay; and to the south are the Hot Gates, a sea pass controlled by Newport News.

History
Before the Great Nuclear War, Delmar was divided by three states, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. It's name comes from abbreviations of two of those states, Delaware, & Maryland.

Pax Unionism
After the Pope of Unionism created his new faith, his Lieutenant, Stephen Adams, led campaigns into Delmar.

Viewed as a holy act, people living around the Delmar Bay refusing to convert and "civilize" were killed. By the end of these campaigns, the Northern Half of the Peninsula had been subjugated, and land had been cleared for possible farmland or settlement. Dover was laid siege to, and conquered. It was at this time the Pope crossed the Bay and declared the war over on the condition that the Delmars convert.

As punishment for not accepting the faith of Unionism and Pope's kindness, the Pope decreed that it would be the curse of Delmars to forever be ruled by others. In order to accomplish this, he created the position of Governor. This position was akin to a king, though his children would never inherit the throne, and instead be replaced by a leader chosen by the Pope. To further this goal, he created the position of Secretary, one similar to Governor. The Pope split Delmar into the Secerariat of Blackwater, Governate of Delaware, and Seceretariate of Delmar (a nation conquered by the Newports, allowed by the Pope due to his curse), in addition to taking some ladn for himself. Stephen Adams was gifted the City of Saint Franklin, and made Lord therein. He became the founder of House Adams.
