Helyg Cwsg (/hɛlɪɡkusɡ/ (
(listen))) (Sleepy Willow) is one of 5 territories located within Qaflana, comprised of a small field with a cluster of trees. Located next to the Aenopian territory of New Llandudno and Subsidiaries, Helyg Cwsg was formally annexed on 11 July 2020 by Qaflanan Prime Minister Simon Reeve.
Etymology and terminology
Helyg Cwsg originates from the Welsh words 'Sleepy Willow[1][2], the Sleepy part of the name being a reference to Qaflana's first Emperor Alex Halbesleben and his often erratic sleep patterns.
'Helyg Cwsgian' is the official demonym used to describe something belonging to or originating from Helyg Cwsg, this is also the demonym for an individual from Helyg Cwsg. Technically, 'Helyg Cwsg' can refer to the entire territory, or to the infrastructure of the area ; there is a small distinction between the subjects.
History
On 11 July 2020 during a Senate meeting, it was decided to downgrade the status of the 4 Qaflanan territories located in Alabama to 'Homeland Territories' due to the fact that the only person able to enforce these claims left Qaflana in September 2019. It was also noted that these territories were claimed by Moriskval[3] as a 'successor to Qaflana' despite having never dissolved. Because of this, it was decided by PM Simon Reeve to annex a small piece of land located next to New Llandudno and Subsidiaries on 13 July 2020. This was officially confirmed by Emperor Leon Montan on 14 July 2020.[4]

Transport
Due to its location and infrastructure, New Llandudno and it's associated territory is the most transport-reliant in Aenopia, with the territory featuring 3 roads and plans for a joint Airport and Airforce base. Situated next to the city of New Llandudno in its Macronational host is the Calder Valley line, which often see trains passing roughly every 15 minutes to British settlements such as Manchester, Blackburn, Preston, Blackpool, York and Leeds. Plans are underway for a joint airport-airforce base to be built close to New Llandudno, for which will see flights to New Aberdare operated by Aenopian Air delivering small supplies. It is expected that the first flight will take off from New Llandudno Joint Airfield in 2021 utilizing planes built by Marco- an aviation company located in New Aberdare that builds aircraft.
Railways
Helyg Cwsg formerly had a railway station located nearby at what is now New Llandudno and Subsidiaries.[7] Stansfield Hall railway station opened in 1869 and predominantly received services from Halifax to Burnley as an alternative to Todmorden railway station. However the station was closed by 1949 [8] and demolished a few years later. No traces remain of the station. Next to the station sat Stansfield Hall signalbox which was initially a 16 lever L&Y frame which was extended to 20 levers when additional railway lines were added nearby. By 1944 it had expanded to 24 levers. As with other boxes in the area, it closed on 22 October 1973 when Preston Power Box took over control of this section of line.[9]
