Great Britain

Flag of Great Britain

**Great Britain**, officially the **United Kingdom of Great Britain** is a country in Northwestern Europe. It is a constitutional monarchy, but due to its young age is still underneath a provisional government. Currently under the complete authority of King Edward VIII from the House of Windsor, It will take a while before the scars of the Second Weltkrieg and the decade prior can be removed from the Island. Britain was absolutely leveled during the Second Weltkrieg after nearly three years of constant arial combat from 1945-1948. But also the usage of the first atomic bomb in history on the city of Portsmouth. While the nation is nominally the head of the British Empire. This honor has essentially gone to the Dominion of Canada which has been granted its independence for their service during the Second Weltrkrieg. Great Britian is no longer the most powerful nation in the world. Not even in the Entente as the devastation done to its industry and civilian infrastructure will take years to rebuild. It could potentially even longer than some cities in America like Louisville which were nearly completely leveled. While Great Britain is said to have existed before 1925 most analysts consider this Great Britain as a new regime and thus the establishment date is according to such. As a result, Great Britain is the youngest nation in the entire world as of current day. Great Britain is a member of the Entente and will later be a member of N.A.T.O

## History

The history of the British Isles in the last few years has been chaotic and marked by the weight of Syndicalism and the Totalist, Oswald Mosley. In 1925 the Isle of Great Britain was rocked by a revolution that was seen as unexpected across much of the world. And what was even more surprising was the inability of the British Empire to prevent it from taking the entire Isle. And so began the 23 year long reign of the Union of Britain. For the first decade the Union of Britain industrialized the country and turned it into a paradise for the workers as the syndicalist system functioned regularly. However inside of the parties of the syndicalist government lay a specter lying in wait to strike and hijack the system. And these were the totalists, inspired by the authoritarian Stalinist ideals and in Britain represented by Oswald Mosley. And in the 1936 election the world watched in simple horror as Mosley was elected chairman of the Union of Britain. Soon the wave of Totalisim swept up the syndicalist movement from Britain as the syndicalist dream was crushed under the boots of Mosley, Mussolini, Browder, and Valois. After a few more years the British economy was being switched to that of war as propaganda began to be realized about how the Revolution was coming across the globe and that the German Empire was the greatest threat to it. In 1940, after disputes in Alsace, the Union of Britain joined up with the rest of the Third Internationale and began the Second Weltkrieg. The Union of Britain did not provide much in terms of military support but rather was were the air force and naval power of the Third Internationale came from bottling up the powerful Imperial German Navy and sustaining a blockade that would last for years. As victory after victory came into the Internationale hands, it would be the Entente that would begin their entry into the war by crushing the syndicalists in America and beginning their landing in Southern France. The Fortunes of the Third Internationale would be reversed and the Union of Britain began to conscript the masses and send them to France where they would fight against overwhelming odds. This would prove to be one of the final mistakes of the Third Internationale as by sending its men to fight in France, Britain wasted all of its strength and once it was isolated it would be unable to prevent a naval landing through its army. But the Union had a plan to turn Britain into a fortress with the use of the air force and the navy to prevent any sort of organized landing. But after the Liberation of Ireland in 1947, this task got harder. And soon, another problem reared its head. Britain was running out of planes to sent into the sky and soon aerial superiority was taken by the German Empire. With this, the Union Navy became sitting ducks and naval superiority quickly went into the hands of the Entente. The Entente would land across the Western coast from the Swansea area to the Scottish Highlands. At that point the war was lost but as if to add salt to the wound the Germans would land in dover a couple days after. The Union of Britain had already wasted its manpower and was unable to prevent its fall and Oswald Mosley began plans to escape to Saint Helena and continue the fight abroad. With regular army forces unable to prevent this the Germans did the unthinkable. They used the atomic bomb on the city of Portsmouth witch contained the last vestiges of the Union Navy and was where Mosley was reported to be after the Fall of London. With this display of unmatched power the remaining Union Forces surrendered and the war ended. Only a week as passed since this event and the future of Britain is obscured by the fog of the future. But with tensions rising the German occupation is becoming more contentious of an issue. And the Germans won't leave without some concessions.

## Military

Great Britain is so young that it does not have its own military. Rather it is being garrisoned by a massive amount of Canadian troops who try and keep order as syndicalist agitators still roam the streets, trying to start another revolution.
