== History ==
The history of this nation begun all the way back in 1801, when Ireland joined Great Britain to form Great Britain and Ireland. Many Scottish and Irish never really wanted to join England after what happened a couple of centuries ago (Battle of Bannock Burn, Battle of Glamorgan). Despite with all the people not wanting to unite, it went ahead and Ireland regretted it. Scotland also regret to join too, even though they would be in an economic crisis. After Arch Duke Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian in Sarajevo. The First World War begun. It was an opportunity for Irish and Scottish revolts. Protesting went so far that there was fire in the streets, people joining IRA and SRA to over throw British power on their rightful land. In 1916, the Easter Rising occurred, but it was just a failure by a margin, because British soldiers killed half of the Irish and Scottish revolt supporters. Britain went on to win World War One with France, USSR, Italy, Serbia, Montenegro and some other countries. Then Hitler rose in Germany, invaded Poland and begun World War Two. Again, another opportunity for independence, and the 2nd Easter Rising happened, even more suspected by British soldiers, they stopped the revolt in lest than 2 days. Britain won World War Two with USSR, France, USA, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Canada, Australia and other nations, to take down the Nazi's. Skip forward 36 years after Japan had surrendered to end World War Two, the SRA and IRA were active in England, bombing multiple cities for 7 years. Then, in 1988, Scottish revolts went so far, that they had control of east Glasgow. Not found out by the British until 2000, Scotland was secretly building up an army to combat the British troops, the number of troops was 29,900 active personnel and 60,120 reserve personnel. The Irish done the exact same in Dublin, taking the north half of the city and building up their army to combat British troops, the number of troops was 20,270 active personnel and 47,600 reserve personnel. With all troops combined, the British troops would have to deal with 157,890 SRA and IRA troops, which could be a serious problem for the British troops.
=== The War of Scottish and Irish Independence ===
The war was announced on the 30th November 2000, with 10,000 SRA troops heading towards Motherwell, it was successful and in Motherwell another 1,580 people joined the SRA. On the 2nd December 2000, The IRA launched 17,000 troops in to the rest of Dublin to capture it easily, they then moved on to Bray and Dundalk to capture the towns too, another 6,100 troops joined the IRA during this time. With a Christmas Truce so people could enjoy their new presents, the war was told to re-begin on the 6th February 2001. So on the 23rd of February, SRA and IRA move in to other big cities, Cork and Edinburgh were the big names that went under control of the SRA and IRA. On the 1st of March 2001. Britain surrendered because they were wasting troops and decided that the SRA and IRA were too strong in manpower, so they signed the treaty in Plymouth.
