This is my third CJ, and my first UB (have done 3 on ST, only one here (y) ) I originally did Toso Arroyo, I did much of the region however only did 1 update (technincally 3). That was a flop and almost a year later I started my second... Stone, a Pacific NW Republic, I got dissatisfied with Stone and gave up on it. Currently I aspire to make this CJ my biggest and best so far (actually going to be pretty small in population lol ) So without Further adue (did I spell that right?)....
The Kingdom of Waterbridge was created with the onset of Colonialization in the New World in 1643. Waterbridge is a small isle located along the opening of the Chesepeake Bay, home to (going to be) 150,000 people. The nation developed much with the United States, Its nearby neighbor.
The capital of this small nation is New Mistley, the original Mistley was founded in 1664 as the second capital of the Kingdom which was founded as a seperatist movement from the King's throne, and lasted until 1844 when a disagreement among farmers led to a fire overcoming the town overnight, the townsfolk had to wait till the fire burned out and then began to rebuild in the rubble, of the 20,000 townsfolk in Mistley, 476 died, most of asphixiation from the fire. The second Mistley was finally finished and incorperated in 1847. The national governement meanwhile operated out of the city hall complex of the Bridgeish city of Riverbourne in the South. The city has come to symbolize the fight of the Bridgeish people and the style of Bridgeish life.
(Google Maps' Map of Waterbridge with some notes on the kingdom's location)
The Kingdom has been a Constitutional Moncarchy since the rebuilding of Mistley in 1845. The reign of Bridgeish Kings and Queens:

Mr. Cooke was then apprehended by Bridgeish officials and in 1962 was executed by electric chair at Riverbourne National Penetentiary.
1955-1982: Queen Anne I- Led the nation through the Psycadellic revolution and the heat of the Cold War, albiet, it was in the opposite ocean for the most part.

1999- : King Jordan I: Has taken Waterbridge through to the New Millineum to the present day.
Monarchs: 17
Pre Constitution Monarchs: 11
Post Constitution Monarchs: 6
Kings: 13
Queens: 4
The above mostly follows the Nation's History aswell.
And now to Present Day Waterbridge, more specifically the Capital of New Mistley!
The greatest house in Waterbridge of course belongs to the King, the residence of King Jordan I:
Located to the South of New Mistley Lake (Its man made fyi ) King Jordan has resided in this Mansion since his Birth in 1964, born to Her Royal Highness Anne, wife of Jacob at....
New Mistley Federal and Military Hospital. Built in 1951, It has been the Royal Medical Center and the Military's Medical Testing Center since 1953.
The federal Congressional House hosts all congressional meetings, between the 25 Congressmen representing the Isle's people.
The highest court of the Land is the Supreme Court of Waterbridge, located next to the Prime Minsiter's House.
All of these buildings are located in a section of town known as "Federal Park"
Neighboring to the Congressional Lawn are the Thornshire Road Shops, these are only a few shops, most of the shopping district is not the "Thornshire Road Shops," only the ones that are located at this particular corner. This included the King's Arm's Pub (built in 1724), named so as it was the location of King Samuel I's deadly duel in 1736. It was one of very few buildings to survive the 1844 Fire.
More of an anecdote... New Mistley Stadium (Capacity: 6,000), home of New Mistley United F.C. of the Waterbridge Premier League (10 teams).
And then there is this picture which is slightly out of place but should be posted is...
Lake New Mistley
