(Hello Everyone)

Si vales, bene est, ego valeo
(I really hope you’re well)

Welcome to the web home for Nova Britannia, a provincia of Nova Roma.

Our province spans the US New England states of Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.

We have a varied selection of Citizens of Nova Britannia. Some have been involved with Nova Roma since its founding, others for some few years, and yet others are new citizens. All add to the dignity of our Republic.

Here, visitors from across the Provincia and around the world can see who we are, our goals and ambitions and activities. This is the public face of the Provincia and therefore a representation of its citizens.

The Provincia Nova Britannia has several means of communicating who and what we are. The first, obviously, is our main web site. The next two sites overlap in usage, but have their own focus. The first is the tried and true yahoo group list:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NovaBritannia/

This provincial mailing list exists to help keep us who live in the province informed about regional and provincial events and activities. Primarily used for all communications, it is now mostly used for announcements, and areas for file and photo storage. I encourage everyone to subscribe to this list. If you haven't, please consider doing so. Your comments/suggestions/ideas are most welcome and encouraged.

The second is the new forum format.

http://novabritannia.com/forum/index.php

Here we can have active and in-depth discussions about whatever topic is appropriate for the various threads. This type of formatting is much better for active discussion than the yahoo group list, as it narrows the focus of said discussion to a specific area. If you don't want to read about a certain topic, then you don't have to. Several members have joined and I encourage everyone to do so. The Provincia needs ideas from its citizens on what we can do to be more active and better enjoy each others company while sharing ideas.

Also, here in Nova Britannia we have several group events throughout the year. We also have hope of establishing many more, at both the provincial and regional levels. Watch the newsgroup messages for information about upcoming events.
