## History

### The land(England)

As one of the leading member states of Europe, the United Kingdom's membership of the former European Union allowed it to take part in the European Administration following the Great Disaster in 2345, ceding vast amounts of soverignity to the Administration to help cope with the effects of the devastation. By 2360, the United Kingdom had effectively ceased to opperate as an independent nation, leading to nationalistic groups led by the Royal House of York dominating the local politics of the region; following a failed independence referendum in 2366, the House of York began to establish it's own revolutionary army, secretly financially backed by the Canadian Brotherhood. Launching the so-called People's Revolution in the summer of 2370, the House of York attempted an uprising against the European Administration, which harshly cracked down on the seperatist movement and placed the British Isles under strict marshal law, stripping the region of all remaining political autonomy from the Administration Council.

In a period of marshal law which lasted for over 200 years, the British Isles became rampant with factions of the former revolutionary army, whilst the House of York retained it's claim to the now dormant British throne, resulting in an inherently unstable political landscape as civil war became rampant in the isles. After briefly securing independence between 2510 and 2512, the region once again came under the perview of the European Administration and would remain that way for the following centuries, until 2907, when a new British army constructed in secret deployed itself to the continental European plains, overpowering the scant boarder guards and forcing it's way into Brussles, the capital of the European Administration. Ultimately, following a meeting between the leaders of the House of York and the Administration, the British Isles were granted their independence from the EA, allowing them to forge their own independant future.

However, this new United Kingdom remained deeply disunited and fell into a second civil war in 2917 as King Greggor was unable to keep the factions within his territory united; with the army split between factions, King Greggor enlised the help of the Balthazar Security Corperation to provide a private army to help put down the rebelious districts of Ireland and Scotland, which were defeated by 2923. Now heavily reliant upon the BSC, King Greggor was deposed in 2931 and replaced with a new merchantile council, led by the CEO of the Balthazar Security Corperation, Adrian Toomes. Under the directorship of Toomes, and later his sucsessor Stephen Lorde, the merchantile council expanded its perview across the British Isles, inviting companies such as the Fox Corperation to join the administration. In 2965, the emerging technological giant CONCORP under the leadership of CEO Geroge Jackson was invited to join the council, marking the first time that a new company had joined since 2945.

By 2984, CONCORP had managed to secure the largest portion of seats on the merchantile council, and subsequently chairman Stephen Lorde was voted out of power and replaced by CONCORP leader George Jackson, who took up the title Governor of Britain. Through his company's dominance in the council, the remaining state entities of the United Kingdom were disolved and instead gradually replaced by off-shoots of CONCORP, effectively making the British Isles into an extention of the company - despite facing opposition from within the merchantile council, CONCORP was able to sucsessfully buy out the Balthazar Security Corperation and negotiated a deal with the Fox Corperation to allow the British Isles to remain as the sole domain of CONCORP.
