The United Kingdom of Greater Britannia
Legal Nation Name: The United Kingdom of Greater Britannia
What Areas Do You Control?:The current territories of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland; Calais (in France) and a small, undefined and fluctuating area around it; the Faroe Islands; Gibraltar; and Iceland (although the interior is only nominally under British control - the coast is, however, under London's direct administration.) Other Overseas Territories have either been annexed by other powers (a motive for new British expansionism) or are too isolated to be governed directly from London. Britain seeks to re-establish control over these lost territories.
Flag or Banner: Political Party: British New Imperialist Party (a radicalised merger of elements of today's Conservative and UKIP parties. These two parties continue to exist but are much weaker and less influential)
Type of Government: Constitutional Monarchy and Parliamentary Democracy
Military: 250,000 (approx.), and rising.
Productions: Oil (from North Sea), Steel, Shipbuilding, Automobiles, limited satellite industry based in Scotland, export of wind-generated electric power to other European nations (if any others still exist).
History of the Nation: Will be completed and refined if/when other European nations join.
Will be along the lines of economic devastation after the Third World War giving rise to extremist parties in an unstable British state (still including Scotland after the socialist policies of SNP failed and drastically weakened both the interior Scottish economy and that of the rest of the United Kingdom, gaining support for continued union with England to prevent Scottish collapse). These extremist groups gained support for much the same reasons as the fascist powers of the 20th century rose to power. Fortunately, the Constitutional Monarchy (still intact at this time) preserved democracy by refusing point blank to sign any proposals by Parliament to abolish the system, both out of genuine concern for the well-being of the British people and out of the expectation that any dictator would seek to remove the monarchy as an opposition and counterbalance to their rule. To protect the monarchy, the Queen issued an order as her last act before she died, re-creating the Royalist forces of the English Civil War. They were to again represent the interests of the monarch, but act only as bodyguards against treasonous aggression.
Since then, elements of the far right have crept into Parliament but are kept from absolute power by the remaining, less radicalised parties and the influence of the monarchy. This has not prevented, however, a significant increase in military spending and militarisation and a more aggressive foreign policy - not opposed by most MPs as Britain lacks the resources to become self-sufficient and a significant world power.
Ultimately, Britain seized control of Eire, the Faroes and Iceland, and consolidated British holdings on the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar by ingraining them into the United Kingdom itself.
