If Marduk doesn't want an "English quarter," it doesn't have to have one.
More seriously, when I did the map, I added five villages in the crater. I had ideas for four of then, but all the ideas I had for the fifth (Fenris Caern, east in the lake, which now probably will get a new name) were bad. A small, traditional English village (which may or may not send the occasional pirate fleet to "raid" the main city) is a better idea that all the ones I had. What would be a good sort of Olde Englishe Name for a village in the moon(e)?
"Ottery St. Catchpole"? [grin]
Or consult:

Lunepool - "harbour on the Moon"?
Lunemere - "lake on the Moon"
Eastmare - "to the East of a Lunar sea"
Mareparish - "village with a church by a Lunar sea" (I quite like this one; Church of England, of course. [grin])
BTW, those will be 'privateers', not 'pirates', if they have filled out the proper paperwork with the parish council. [grin]
Thanks for the "phillips screwdriver" pun - appreciated!
I still think the conspiracy theory that all the English are in fact deep-cover method actors, and/or robots (or 'biobots') is worth spreading... And them holding "murder weekends" where people come and try and solve a (fictional) murder mystery (you too can be Miss Marple, or Hercule Poirot)...
Also, you need an eccentric vicar for the village... Possibly one who believes there are secret "Moon Men", who have so far hidden from the Fen, and claims the shape of various ancient Lunar outcrops shows they have been shaped by intelligent beings... And who has a robot housekeeper called "Mrs Muggins":

who 'escaped' from a diorama a Super was building. [grin]
