The Barony of Politarchopolis is part of an international network of groups belonging to the overarching Society for Creative Anachronism. In the SCA, the world is divided up into twenty kingdoms (most of which belong to the US and Canada), and our group belongs to the Kingdom of Lochac.
The Kingdom of Lochac covers Australia, New Zealand, and the Antarctic territories, and is home to forty-two local groups from Auckland to Perth. As a kingdom, Lochac officially has a King and Queen, who are our ceremonial heads of state, and their presence at events is always exciting. You can see a map of the whole kingdom, listing our neighbors outside the Barony.
