Name of Nation: The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire
Government Type: : Monarchy under Queen Emily the First. The state is somewhat Autocratic, but if 70% of Parliament are in agreement, the Queens word can be repealed in order to ensure no tyrant ever takes control of the throne. It has managed to avoid being an absolute dictatorship, although from time to time acts of cruelty are commited, it sticks inside human rights laws for the most part and remains democratic.
Territory: The British Isle including the former Republic Of Ireland, the 14 british over sea's territories (Circa 2013), Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Papau New Guinea, Haiti, Tasmania, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Iceland, The former thirteen colonies and Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Ghana, Seirra Leone, Fiji, Dominica, Cuba, Nigeria, Jamaica, South Africa, Madagascar, Botswana, Venezuela, Burma, Nepal, Guyana, Suriname, Columbia, Belize, Portugal, Bahamas Porto Rico, Domonica, Nambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zanzibar, Bangladesh, Guinea, Senegal, Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire, North Korea and India.
While this has placed a large deal of land under their control, it is also rather spread out. The Empire relies on rapid expansion using blitzkrieg tactics in the case of war.
The New British Empire organises it's territories into 3 catagories:
Founder: These are the Territories of England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland (Scotland was made one in 2025) and the 14 over sea territories. They have the most power of all and have representitives in the Supreme Parliament of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
Collaborator: These are all the American Territories, South Africa, India, Jamaica, Burma, Fiji, Zanzibar, Dominica, and Sierra Leone. They either rejoined the Empire of their own accord as it grew in power and were given this special status to keep them separate to the conqured nations or have stayed loyal to the empire to the point of being granted this status. Collaborator territories have their own Parliaments for a high level of self governance, however these are subordinate to the Supreme Parliament. Collaborator territories have some representitives in the Supreme Parliament
Conqured: These are any Territories that don't fit into the other two catagories. They have the most limited self governance, but they still have elected parliaments and make some decisions of their own. Conqured territories are allowed only a single representitive in the Supreme Parliament. Overtime, Conqured territories may gain Collaborator status
Military: Her Majestys armed forces include: Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, Royal Marines, British Army. All of which are powerful and well trained. The British special forces such as the SAS, SBS, SRR, SFSG are among some of the most elite in the world. The Military of the British Empire is both large and powerful. The Royal Navy is by far the most powerful of it's branches, and is arguably the most advanced and most powerful navy in the world. The Army follows after that. Consisting of millions of highly trained soldier from across the globe, the British Army is superb. Using some of the latest technologies and with excellent training, Her Majestys Armed Forces are the envy of many nations around the globe.
Economy: The Empire's Size and Diversity allows sufficient economical exploitation to run an empire. Gold is easily obtained from the Africa Territories and Timber and Oil from the former US, while there are thousands of years worth of Coal reserves under the UK (True story, look it up). Metals come from many different territories as well as the UK. Sugar comes from the North American as well as a few african territories. The trading is mostly handled by several companies such as the East Asia Company, the West Asia Company, the Africa Company and the Americas Trading Company.
Foreign Policy: Despite the Empires past, it's main policy is geared towards peace and trying to get others to join peacefully. Peaceful Annexation is slower than it's military eqivilant, and so there is unrest among some high ranked Military Official on the Issue, but the Queen herself is in direct opposition to conquering the world through military power
History: Britain holds a colourful history, especially in the wake of the war.
In 2014 the Scottish independance referandum granted Scotland independence from the United Kingdom, Britain was set to crumble having been taken from being the most powerful nation on the planet to being a small island that was bickering amoungst itself in the space of a century. As Scotland ceceeded, so did Northen island in the following months. The united Kingdom was now merely England, Wales and the 14 oversea's terretories. In early March 2015 when Queen Elizabeth the II died and two days The prime minister, David Cameron was assassinated by a supposed Scottish extremist, and in April 2015 an army of Scottish soldiers invaded Britain. In the resulting two year conflict, the entirity of Parliament were killed, and several members of the Royal family killed, but the Scottish military was unstable, with large numbers of desertions and turn coats as many refused to fight the British, and the British, with the support of Scottish defectors, were able to rally enough support and launch a counter attack into Scotland and eventually Scotland was defeated. This victory was owed mostly to the turn coats from the Scottish force, so Scotland was not punished for it's actions
The elderly Prince was crowned king and both him and Mathew met formally in a meeting in downing street. During this meeting, power was restored to the Royal family making them more akin to the Kings and Queens of old, while the position of Prime Minister was given absolute power and the authority to make laws and changes without the consent of Parliament, although if more than 50% of parliament was in agreement, these laws could be repealed and if 70% of parliament was in agreement, the Prime Minister could even be dismissed. It was in this meeting that it was decided that, in light of the collapsing world, Britain must reform it's empire in order to stabilise the planet for the greater good. The vangaurds of the new empire started with Ireland just six months later. When the Irish saw the British naval fleet esembling off their coast, having been constructed quickly with the help of American engineers, they defiantly held their ground. They surrendered after the third day of bombardment, both from sea and from air. The commanders of the British forces congratulated the Irish on their brave defence of their lands, and offered them the chance to rejoin the United Kingdom freely and with the same rights as an English or Welsh man, a luxery the Scottish had not been afforded due to their betrayal. The Irish accepted the offer after three nights of debate, and while there was disedance throughout Ireland, no one wanted to oppose the British now that they had full backing from the USA.
It took the united kingdom two years to rebuild it's economy and army to the full, but they were two years well spent. The soldiers set sail to Iceland and claimed it for the empire. Foreseeing the return of the British Empire, the UN desperately tried to stop it, threatening military action. A series of mutually beneficial deals with the USA, however, brought Britain full backing from America and stopped the remainder of the UN in it's tracks. America knew that they would need strong allies with rising world tensions, to do this they assisted with Britains empire building. With America's aide, Britain went to Africa and claimed Sierra Leone and Gambia for it's empire. The Reformation of the Empire was put to the commonwealth and there was split opinion. A few rejoined.
South Africa pledged it's support for the Empire and rejoined, but less than two months later Prince Charles died and was succeded by Prince Henry of Wales.
In 2021, the British empires Falklands territory was once again under threat from Argentina, which invaded en masse. The British sent a force to retake the falklands and there was over a year of bloody fighting between each side, both refusing to back down, both convinced they were in the right. The falklands changed hands neumerous times before a treaty was finally made between Argentina and Britain which finally allowed the Falkland islanders to remain British in return for a sizeable monetary donation.
On December 28 2023, Princess Emily was born and the royal family rejoiced, but this was tempered by the Death of Prince Henry of Wales in a car accident just a day later. He was succeed by Princess Anne.
In 2025, World war three broke out. Britain used this opportunity to capture Portugal and Italy with little resistance due to the war having brought complete Chaos to the UN. Britain moved to support their American Allies, but after years of bloody fighting America collapsed and the war ended. Upon the end of the war, they occupied the lands of the 13 colonies to keep order. There was vicious fighting with other factions in the west and other area's of north america, but eventually the borders were settled by treaties. By now, British military strength was largely expended on protecting that which they had gained.
In 2038, India pledged it's support for the British Empire and stated that it would rejoin. As British Forces arrived to claim India as part of the Agreement of Union, however, Canadian Forces arrived and a conflict started over who controlled India. The conflict was ended with a ceasefire, but the matter of who owns the territory has never been settled. None the less, on all British Imperial Records it is stated as being part of the British Empire, and is treated as such by the British Government
In 2039, Princess Anne died of natural causes and the throne was passed to young Queen Emily
Foes: Canadian Empire. They are viewed as oppressors of the weak and are not liked among the British people, essentially making a sort of cold war between the two of them, especially since the Canadian Empire is a dictatorship rather than a democracy
