The Eleven-Day Empire was the home base of Faction Paradox. The territory was purchased from King George II of England by Grandfather Paradox under the Gregorian Compact, when that country switched over from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1752, causing eleven days to be skipped from the month of September. The people's belief that the relevant time had been "lost" was sufficient to power the creation of an alter-time state.
The "shadow" London of the Eleven-Day Empire was a mishmash of time-zones, with streets, buildings and landmarks taken from periods earlier or later than its eighteenth century foundations, and should not have been mistaken for the real London of 1752. The authenticity of the Empire's version was irrelevant: what mattered was its symbolic weight. As London had a certain geographical continuity (which is to say, the street layout rarely changed over two millennia), it was possible to walk along a lane which switched from Enlightenment to Victorian to Roman and back again within the stretch of a few yards.
