<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The embodiment of [[Ankh-Morpork]] into the figure of a matronly warrior-woman in flowing Ephebian robes and battle-helmet is often drawn by [[Fizz]] for the [[Ankh-Morpork Times]]. The suggestion has been made that she looks not unlike Lady [[Sybil Ramkin]].<br />
<br />
Care should be taken to ensure that nobody really believes in her. Otherwise the risk is run of creating yet another [[anthropomorphic personification]] as has already happened in [[Borogravia]], where the Grand Duchess [[Annagovia]] manifested through [[Wazzer Goom]], in response to a nation's fervent prayer for something to replace the insane [[Nuggan]], and the vehicle of Wazzer's belief.<br />
<br />
If anyone in Ankh-Morpork were to develop a similar fervent belief in Morporkia....<br />

Morporkia is clearly a sister to the [[Roundworld]] characters of [[wikipedia:Britannia|Britannia]] and Hibernia, the national goddesses or representations of all that is British or Scottish, similar to those of Marianne of France and Lady Liberty of the USA. Britannia is commonly depicted as a fearsomely large but handsome woman wearing a toga and a centurion's helmet, holding a trident and leaning on a shield bearing the Union flag. The [[Fizz]] cartoon at the beginning of {{MR}} shows an almost direct parody of the traditional representation of Britannia.<br />
