British Kepler (Vulpinroid)

British Kepler refers to territory on the planet Kepler-22B that formerly belonged the Old Kingdom of Acorn. After Amadeus Prower's coup on 22 August 2085, the entire planet was temporarily administrated by a United Nations peacekeeping force. The United Kingdom was granted the authority to annex the Acornian territories after agreeing to concessions that acknowledged a recent referendum's results that called for the release of Northern Ireland and its subsequent reunification with the Republic of Ireland. The country of Kepler was therefore formed from the Acornian Territories and simultaneously inducted into the United Kingdom by the Acts of Union 2087 on 1 May 2087.
The Local Government Act of 2087 (an update to the Local Government Act of 1972) further defined Kepler's administrative boundaries by instituting a county system.

==Government==
British Kepler is locally governed by regional authorities at the top level, county councils and unitary authorities at the lowest level. The addition of Kepler added many more seats to the House of Commons, of which Members of Parliament (MP) are able to conduct business either directly at Westminister or virtually. The British monarch is considered to be the Head of State, while the Prime Minister is considered to be the Head of Government.
==Services==
Healthcare is handled by the National Health Service (NHS), primarily in the form of regional trusts that govern hospitals and other facilities and ambulance trusts which handle emergency transport. Police services are handled by territorial police forces known as constabularies. The emergency services telephone number in British Kepler is 999.
==Defence & Intelligence==
British Kepler is considered to be defended by the British Armed Forces which consist of:
*Royal Navy, Royal Space Navy & Royal Marines
*Royal Air Force
*British Army
The British Armed Forces are administered by the Ministry of Defence.
Domestic intelligence is handled by the Security Service (MI5), foreign intelligence by the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), signals intelligence by Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and temporal security by the British Temporal Security Service (MI-T).
