Cordonia

Cordonia is a fictional European country in the Rules of Engagement and in The Royal Romance series. It is ruled by King Father Constantine, and is the home of Queen Mother Regina, European Guy and King "Liam". Cordonia's capital city is shown to have a large casino district, where the rich and famous, as well as top government officials, gather to gamble.

Cordonia is possibly a larger country than previously thought, as it is shown in The Royal Romance that it also has a mountainous northern region where it usually snows. It is also part of what was once known as The Five Kingdoms from The Crown &amp; The Flame Series.

In Book 2, chapter 16 of The Royal Romance, it is revealed by Liam, that with the knowledge of their spouse, people can partake in relationships outside of marriage.

It is revealed in Book 3, that the Five Kingdoms was once united under one crown and later became Cordonia as we know it.

Trivia

 * Its gambling district seems to be based on Monte Carlo in Monaco.
 * As a whole, Cordonia seems to be based on the Principality of Monaco, a real-life European country. This follows a trope in modern fiction of setting modern-day royal romances in tiny European countries that are easily overlooked, often based mostly on Monaco, the most famous real-life example.
 * It was confirmed in The Royal Romance, Book 3, Chapter 2, that Cordonia has ties to The Five Kingdoms; as they celebrate the Festival of The Five Kingdoms.
 * As of Book 3, known duchies in Cordonia are Lythikos, Fydelia, and Portavira.
