**Protectorates**

 Protectorates are part of the military and economic alliance to a much greater extent than dominions and can sometimes be part of joint scientific research programmes within the empire. Protectorates enjoy shared infrastructure, discounted and increased trade, and strong military aid from the rest of the empire. They fall under British law but are given control of their borders and internal affairs. They mirror British foreign policy and have seats in Parliament.

**Colonies**

 Colonies are parts of the British empire that are Overseas British territories controlled and manned by British people. They have their own Governors who have the same Foreign Policy as Britain. They similarly to Protectorates have stronger economic and military ties to Britain and are given seats in Parliament. Their internal affairs are managed by Parliament and local leaders. They are given seats in parliament and are bound to British laws and jurisdictions. They enjoy military security, heightened trade and joint infrastructure with other member states. They are viewed as direct British citizens and as such have the same foreign policy as Britain.

### **Military**

Britain's Military consists of 3 main branches. The largest and most expansive being the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy directly controls ports on 5 continents and does trade in most areas of the world. Britain's only direct military engagement was with the then world power of Sparta. The City of Limerick fell but successfully stopped further advance by Spartan Ships by destroying part of the Spartan fleet. The Royal Navy employs Dreadnoughts, Carracks, Sloops, Caravels, and other boat types. The Second largest Branch is the British Army who run supply lines, and fight ground battles for Britain and her empire. The last main branch is the Royal Marines, Britain's primary invasion force, whose main jobs are to set up forward operating points and launch amphibious or Naval invasions. Britain also have an experimental military division, but little is known about their numbers or their capabilities. A noteworthy difference of the British Armed forces is its inclusion of multinational members from colonies of the British Empire. The empire works on mutual defense and make the British extremely deadly in their viable range. Their colonies and military installations give the British a distinct advantage of having forward operating bases on 5 continents.
