Greater British Empire

The Greater British Empire was an empire founded during the 1600s. It is currently the biggest Nation in the world.
== History ==
=== Colonization ===
British Colonization began in the 1600s with the foundation of Roanoke and later Jamestown. King James I declared that all of the Eastern West America belonged to Great Britain. A lot of nations disliked this, especially France, England's historical rival. The War over America (WITBW) began, resulting in a British victory.
=== Seven Years War ===
Prussia declared war on Austria on 1756, soon France declared war on Prussia. 2 years later, the UK declared war on France. Other nations soon began intervening, such as Russia and Spain. The Seven Years War (WITBW) began. The french took hanover. King George's brother, who ruled over Hanover, retreated. However King George refused to let hanover go and organized a new army to push the French back. Meanwhile in the colonies, General George Washington defeated the French at Montreal. Soon, the French surrendered. Spain gave up Florida to the British, while France gave up all their colonies in North America (besides the caribbean Hati).
=== The Road to Revolution ===
The Colonies were filled with Patriotism. The People of the Colonies celebrated the defeat of the French during the Seven Year War. However, the British Crown was deeply in debt. The British decided a new idea: LET'S TAX THE COLONIES! So the British included the Sugar act and the Quartering Act. However, smugglers smuggled sugar from the Dutch. The British were attacked at the Boston massacre, and they fired their guns on the people, killing 5. Then Patriots disguised as Mohawk Indians and raided a British boat full with Tea and dumped it off, in response to the Townshend acts and the Tea Acts. Soon the British Parliament passed the Coercive Acts (known to the colonists as the intolerable acts). Soon spies reported that the British were heading to Lexington and Concord to arrest Patriots. Paul Revere and others rode to Lexington + Concord to warn the colonists that the British were coming.
=== American Revolution ===
The British Troops and American Minutemen met at Lexington. The shot heard 'round the world was shot, and no one knows who shot it. John Hancock was soon placed as the main general of the army. The British were defeated at boston, but Won at new York. During the worst winter during the war, Benedict Arnold and Horatio Gates defeated the British at Saratoga. The French and Spanish soon intervened in the war, and the war went into huge tensions. At the Battle of Yorktown, the British defeated the French and Americans. Soon they recaptured Philadelphia and Boston, and the Revolutionaries surrendered. The People that signed the declaration of Independence were later hanged.
=== Inter Revolutionary Period ===
King George III was hailed as a hero for protecting the British against the French, Spanish, and Americans. He began reforming the rules of the country. King George was included in many arts as well. When George died, his son, King George IV became the ruler of Great Britain. The New George didn't want to repeat his Father's mistakes, as the American Revolution decimated the British Economy. So he began repealing all of the tax acts parliament had passed. 
=== Second American Revolution ===
Although the tax acts were being repealed, the Americans weren't happy that they were defeated, and so they revolted again, signing the Second Declaration of Independence on August 3rd, 1812. This time, the men rallied on Paul Revere as the main military General, himself being a soldier during the revolution. At the Battle of Boston, The American troops stood against their British counterparts, led by George Washington. The battle took place on a sweltering hot summer's day. In the end, George Washington defeated Paul Revere. The British then retook the colonies, and Paul Revere went to hiding in France.
=== The Great Awakening ===
Due to his victory, Washington was given the position of Post Master. King George IV died after the end of the Second American Revolution on January 16th, 1815. The new King, King George V, repealed almost all of the taxes placed on the American Colonies, and announced the Crown's apology for the huge amount of taxes. George also gave 100,000 Pounds to the Colonies in hopes of forgival. Eventually, the Colonists stopped getting revolutionary ideas, and forgave the crown. At the same time, new Ideas of Religion and Enlightenment began to spring up with the French Revolution (1814-1820) and the Napoleonic Wars (1820-1825). The British managed to defeat the French in the Napoleonic wars, however Enlightened ideas about freedom and Liberty continued to spread.
=== The People's Divide ===
Washington was a hero for defending the colonies, but his death meant that the Colonies were divided once again. The Empire was divided over whether or not to continue Slavery. While the Northern United States, Ireland, England, and Scotland wanted slavery to be illegal, Wales, Ireland, South US, and Pakistan wanted Slavery to continue. Present day India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar stayed neutral. The General to Abolish slavery was former PostMaster and current Prime Minister of the British Empire, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln didn't have that many good generals, but one of his best generals is Ulysses S. Grant. Ulysses S. Grant continued to push the Pro-Slavery forces outta town. The People's Divide is also known as the Third American Revolution because the Americans who were pro-slavery wanted independence as the Confederacy of the British. The British defeated the Confederacy around 1870. Slavery was illegalized, and Black people were freed. Parliament passed the Abolition Act (that outlawed slavery) and the Anti-Discrimination Act (that prevented discrimination). The first Black person to get into Parliament, Fredrick Douglass, became famous.
=== The Opium Wars ===
After the People's Divide, the Chinese began raising the tax on tea, which made the british unhappy. So the British decided to smuggle Opium into China, and everyone became, like, a crazy drug addict. The Chinese then banned Opium and threw it into the ocean, which made the British even more unhappy. So they decided to declare war on the Qing Dynasty. The British won the war, and took Guangdong (Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau). The Chinese however, still kept the tax on tea. So the british teamed up with the portuguese to defeat the Chinese and get in control with the Trade Market and Silk Road and Tea market, and split China up between them. The British part became known as the Cha Dynasty (Cha is chinese for tea), with the British allowing the Chinese to mostly govern themselves, even with their own emperor, however the Chinese still had to rely on the British for Financial Support, etc, making British China like Danish Greenland.
=== World War I ===
On the Year 1913, Belgium started improving relations with Germany in order to keep Belgium Congo. Britain was upset, and asked the Netherlands if they wanted to split Belgium, which they accepted. In response, Germany declared war on the Dutch and the British. France soon joined in, declaring war on Germany, followed by Portugal. Russia and Austria-Hungary declared war on the Entente, while the Ottoman Empire and the Balkan Union declared war on the Central Powers. Italy stayed neutral, while on the other side of the world the Cha Dynasty, Portuguese China, and Japan began raiding Russian Mongolia. Franz Ferdinand was shot by a Serbian Nationalist (Serbia wasn't involved in the war yet) by the name of Gavrilo Princip. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. At this point Italy, which in the previous month sided with the Central Powers, declared war on Austria-Hungary while the Independent State of Triste declared independence as a client state of Italy. Russia decided to switch sides, and relations between Russia and the Ottomans began to improve. The United Kingdoms (Norway + Sweden) declared war on the British later on. Soon it was all out war. The British navy was attacked in the north sea by the United Kingdoms and the German Empire. However, the UK managed to defeat the UKs and Germany. Meanwhile, the nation of Greater Mongolia declared war on Germany due to the Zimmerman Telegram sent to Stanistan. Stanistan declared war on Greater Mongolia. After Greater Mongolia defeated Stanistan, reinforcements arrived to Europe. Russia was pushing German forces out of Poland and managed to defeat the Russian Communists at Leningrad. After Austria-Hungary surrendered, Italy switched sides after the fall of Triste. Germany finally surrendered on November 11th, 1918.
=== Interwar period ===
The Greater British Empire lost a lot of it's money during the war, and wanted someone to blame. So they blamed Germany, and Along with Portugal, Russia, and France they began to steal German Money (by steal, I mean Start a German Debt). The Weimar republic was formed, being a puppet state of the UK, Portugal, Russia, and France. The Greater British Empire was no longer in debt, and began to colonize Africa. The Greater British Empire began taking former German Colonies. Russia decided to colonize parts of Africa. Austria-Hungary was split into Yugo (Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, Part of Bosnia), and Slavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Rest of Bosnia), Austria-Hungary (Just Austria and Hungary), and Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic and Slovakia), and Glacia (which became temporarily part of the UK). Meanwhile Germany didn't only become the Weimar Republic, Hanover also became independent (also temporarily became part of the UK), and the Danzig Free State (Polish Protection). The British Empire made a deal with France, Portugal, Russia, Italy, and Weimar decided to split up Africa. Only Ethiopia (Absennya) and Liberia (Under American Protection). 
=== World War II ===
A mysterious force under a mysterious Austria-Hungarian artist by the name of Adolf Hitler, began marching towards Danzig, taking it and going to war with Poland. The mysterious force, now known as the Nazis, were defeated, and lost Danzig, but went to war with the Greater British Empire over Hanover. Greater British Empire called it's allies for help, including Italy, Russia, Portugal, and France. Czechoslovakia, Yugo, and Slavia stayed neutral. Austria-Hungary declared war on Italy over Greater Triste (actually was what Italy wanted in WWI). Meanwhile Shia (a state that includes Iran, Iraq, Sriyam, Lebanon, Jordan, Arabia, and North Israel) shared the Nazis dislike for Jews, and declared war on the Allies. The Weimar Republic tried to defeat the Nazis, but unfortunately the Nazis defeated them and took control of Germany. France was later occupied by the Germans, however in the South the Free France Force continued to fight. Meanwhile Germany invaded Poland, managing to take the south of Poland, however North Poland refused to surrendered. Germany then invaded Russia, while Romania and Bulgaria allied with Germany. The Greater British Empire sent supplies to Russia, however with Germany distracted, the British began invading North France. France was later liberated by the British, while Japan unfortunately bombed Pearl Harbor. The GBE declared war on Japan. However, Russia defeated the Germans at Volgograd, and began pushing them back. Germany was ganbanged on both sides, and Hitler commited suicide in his bunker. The Allies won the war, and began splitting Germany. Meanwhile the British and Russians dropped Nuclear bombs on Japan, ending the war. 
=== Cold War ===
The UK, Portugal, France, and Russia decided to split Germany into 4. Portugal, France, and the UK united their halfs to form the Hanover-Hesse Union, while the Russian part became the Prussian Tsarship (later became the Prussian Kaisership). Soon the UK and Russia went over a cold war over different types of Monarchy, Constitutional and Traditional. Many proxy wars happened all over the globe, such as when the Antarctic Constitutional Forces sponsored by the UK fought against the Kingly Forces of Antarctica, sponsored by Russia. Many people panicked, in fear of Nuclear Destruction. Both sides began spreading Propaganda: 
==== British Propaganda: ====
Hey you. Listen here. Do you really want to be oppressed by the iron fistists of the Russians? If you do, your crazy. If you don't, consider joining forces with us, the Constitutional Monarchists. You won't regret it. All hail the Queen!
==== Russian Propaganda: ====
Do you really want to be seen as a weak, pathetic, coward? If you don't, then help us defeat the British! The Tsar will appreciate it. All hail the Tsar!
Eventually, one side won, not because one side finally defeated the other, but because the Russian Empire soon collapsed into many Constitutional Monarchist or Democratic States. The British began securing their dominance and helping other Nations in the world.
=== Accidents and Terrorism ===
In the year 1997, Princess Diana died in a fatal car crash. The Nation mourned her death, as she was very caring for the people of Britain. On November 22nd, 1999, a car was heading from Redmond to Wenatchee in the state of Cascadia. U.C. Route 97 is a major north-south United Colonies highway built in the western United Colonies in 1926. The car was crossing the Sam Hill Memorial Bridge in Biggs Junction. The bridge is okay and doesn't need too much repairing. The car went across successfully. 17 people died. Meanwhile in the Middle East, groups such as the Taliban, the ISIS, and Al-Qaeda began attacking British Colonies everywhere, starting after they learned of the Koshesh Massacre. The muslims were unhappy, and began forming many terrorists groups. The British didn't really notice these groups until the 9/11 terrorists attacks, at the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and if not stopped by Passengers, possibly the House of Burgesses. Soon the UK began organizing a group of armies from around the world to destroy these Terrorists. The War on Terror is one of the longest ongoing wars. 
=== Present Day ===
The British Empire has improved it's citizens conditions of living, and has improved its international status more than it had a couple of centuries ago. The British Sprit is still active inside its citizens, and its legacy remains.
== Governmental System ==
The British Empire's Governmental System is like an Electoral College thingy, but its different. There are 3 types of "British Districts" that have different amounts of votes.
=== British Countries ===
British Countries (Example: Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland), being the most important parts in the empire, each have 10 Votes in the "Imperial College". This means that they have the highest representation in the British Government.
=== British Colonies ===
British Colonies (Example: United Colonies, India) have 5 votes. This is due to the fact that they are vital to the Empire. More autonomous/important colonies get 7 votes (Example: United Colonies, Cha Dynasty, India).
