Home to the Iceni tribe in ancient days, Norwich is no stranger to uprisings against cruel foreign conquerors. When the Romans stole Boudica's kingdom and had her flogged, she led the Britons in rebellion against the invader and stood against their invading legions. Tragically, Norwich's resistance would end just as Boudica's had, in fire.

Bombed more extensively than almost any city in all of Britain, Norwich's medieval architecture was torn to shreds by the wrath of the Luftwaffe. Taking advantage of a pre-existing redevelopment plan, much of the city was rebuilt into vast complexes by the new government in London, with Norwich's century old architecture torn down without sentiment.

This new and expanded housing has had an unexpected consequence for the government in London. With so many towns abandoned and rotting by England's decay, Norwich has become something of a site of pilgrimage for those discontent with the iron hand England has found itself under.
