Foreoldenland and Beardedland (Mean English: Antigua and Barbuda) is a land in the West Indishlands in the Americkslands, found between the Caribish Sea and the Atlantish Highsea. It is made up of two greater ilands, Foreoldenland and Beardedland, and a reckoning of lesser ilands (including Great Bird, Green, Manywater, Long, Maiden and Everwick Ilands and further south, Wheelshaped Iland). The everlasting befolking reckons about 95,900 with ninety-seven hundredths dwelling on Foreoldenland. The revetown and greatest harbour and stead is Holy John's on Foreoldenland, with Codrington being the greatest town on Beardedland. Found near each other (the main Beardedland flyharbour is less than 30 seamiles north of the main Foreoldenland flyharbour), Foreoldenland and Beardedland are in the middle of the Leeward Ilands, part of the Lesser Fore-Ilands, roughly at seventeen cuts north of the midring.
The iland of Foreoldenland was found by Christoffer Columb in 1493 and named for the Church of Holy Mary the Foreolden. Foreoldenland was taken over by Briten in 1632; Beardedland was first settled in 1678. Foreoldenland and Beardedland fit in the West Indishlands Band in 1958. With the break-up of the band, it became one of the West Indlands Linked-Up Rikes in 1967. Following by self-lawmoot in its inner business, selfstandingness was given from the Oned Kingdom on 1st Fogmonth 1981.
Foreoldenland and Beardedland is still a belonger of the Meanwealth and Elizabeth II is the land's queen and rikeshead.
In Holymonth 2017, Whirlwind Irma marred or shattered ninety-five hundredths of Beardedland's buildings. All the iland's dwellers were drained to Foreoldenland, leaving Beardedland empty for the first time in new-eretide.
