I am faithful to the English Empire and Queen Elizabeth I.
Letter to Monarchy Dear most highest Queen Elizabeth:
My ship has a leak and repairs were desperately needed, so I found a port like peninsula to dock the ship. This was a new land that I claimed for England and named it Nova Albion. The day after we docked there my crew and I were suddenly surrounded by some natives of the New World. All of the natives threw down their weapons and started doing some ritual that looked like they were worshiping a god. I am horrified by the very idea of man-worship. I tried to tell them in sign language that I was human, but nothing I did could shake their belief. They gave us tobacco, they gave me a crown, and I assume that they made me king. I couldn't tell for sure so on a brass plate I engraved that the name for the peninsula shall be Nova Albion and it belongs the you and all of your successors. So now that we own the land I think we should explore it to see how much more land there is to claim.
