Welcome to the official web page of the Earldom of Rum.
The Lands within the Earldom of Rum are part of the Dominion of British West Florida, a small enclave of Her Majesty's Empire, and the British Commonwealth.
The Royalist Government of British West Florida encourages the immigration of any of Her Majesty's Loyal Subjects, from the Kingdom, or any of Her Dominions, Commonwealths, Colonies, or Territories wherever they may be found. British West Florida is proud of its hertiage, as a Colony of Great Britian, and as stronghold for Loyalists in North America. During the so-called American Revolution we provided safety to those fleeing the rebellious colonies to our north. We now offer welcome and asylum to Her Majesty's Subjects from any other localities that have deserted God and Crown. British West Florida is a land for all those who desire to enjoy the blessing of God and Queen and are willing to support the Monarchy, and Her Majesty's Legitimate and Lawful Government in and for the Dominion of British West Florida. We are, in the words of His Majesty King George III, "A people spread over an immense tract of fertile land, industrious because free, rich because industrious".
