Well, Britain's okay but real civilisation starts in Yorkshire (ask Parisiens where French civilisation resides ...)! Not for no reason is August 1st Yorkshire Day - it is the same day as the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1834.

Mind, there are many who still want to become the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire so I doubt that you'll see autonomy for Greater Yorkshire yet.
