'''Saint Matilda''', often stylised '''St. Matilda''' is a [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian overseas territory]] in the [[Concordian Ocean]] that is made up of one large island and two uninhabited islets. Apart of the East Antilles, it is located 59.8 km south of the Rook Isle ([[Vistaraland|KVC]]) 232.2 km from the [[Gondwana|Gondwanan]] mainland. Originally apart of the Flax Isles, it remained under Morstaybishlian administration following the 1709 Bursil Agreement, where the Rook and Pulchra Isles were sold to the [[Vistaraland|Vistari Empire]]. It derives its name from the Prophet Matilda in [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] belief. The territory's total area comes to 202.92 km² (78.34 square miles) and reported a population of 54,782 in the 2012 census. It's capital is Bourbonsville.
The [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrians]] were the first [[Aurora|Auroran]] nation to settle on the island. They signed a treaty with the native Andorec peoples in 1658. Morstaybishlia took control of the island from 1660 to 1669. In ensuing years, it was at war with Ethalria six times, and the rule of the island changed frequently (it was ruled three times each by the Ethalrians and Morstaybishlians). In 1705 the Morstaybishlian's took definitive control and administered St. Matilda as apart of the Flax Isles, where ⅔ of the territory was sold in an exchange in 1709.
