## Welcome to Trouble in Britain

Ladies and Gents, welcome to this alternate future timeline written and crafted by me, Awesome Pinerin. Trouble in Britain (shortened TIB) is an alternate future timeline where the United Kingdom collapses into a bunch of rump states in 2026. The story revolves around the start of what is called "British Dark Age" where the newly created countries that once was the UK fighting over one another in hope that the former United Kingdom can be reunited together. This was originally a map game idea also crafted by me, and after the map game was finished, I converted it into a timeline. All info is accurate as of the canon date of the scenario - January 1st, 2027.

This scenario is written like an actual wiki for a HOI4 mod, so yes, there will be paths for leaders.

## DISCLAIMER

**This scenario is pretty unrealistic, as it has certainly bended and twisted some politicians' actual personalities. The versions I depicted them as here are NOT representative of what they believe in real life, and if you are offended, then just don't read this scenario.**

## Inspiration

Trouble in Britain's scenario is inspired by a map game of mine as well, of which the inspiration came from the crisis I saw the UK to be in. When the map game was created in October 2021, I saw a UK with soaring inflation, corrupt officials, a slowly dying Queen and increasing separatism. While I never truly believed the UK would actually collapse (or at least, not like that), I felt like that there is a very miniscule chance that this can occur. And so, I started crafting the scenario, also loosely inspired by the 50-states battle royales I often find far too common on Future Wiki or the Althistory wikis.

## Summary

The year is 2027. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is no more after a disastrous Brexit and the terrible handling of the British Financial Collapse of 2022. While it was widely believed for a long time that Scotland and Wales could secede the former UK, nobody could have imagined that England itself will fall apart, and collapse into a dozen rump states. Nobody can tell anything about the real reason why England fell apart, but one thing is clear: The British Isles is now divided, not just by identity, but by wired fences and checkpoints.

The United States, led by Mike Pence, has expressed deep condolences to the people living in the UK, and pledged to provide the new states economic aid to kickstart their economies. The European Union, despite their previous clashes with Britain over Brexit, also expressed their sorrow over the loss of a historic nation. Russia and China are also expressing condolences as well, and also pledged economic support. On paper, it seems like the superpowers are all providing aid for the new rump states that exist in Britain. But in reality, the USA, the EU, Russia and China are already planning their spheres of influence on the new British Isles. The EU want to directly influence London and USSE immediately, as they have major economic value, as well as the Channel Tunnel, which would be a major boost to the EU. America wants to spread freedom and democracy to Cornwall and use them as a puppet to influence Britain as well. China wants to get Lancashire and the industrial North on their side, while Russia is already trying to get Anglia on their side. For now, their ambitions don't clash...at least for now.

On the Isle, some rather extremist groups have popped up across Britain, wanting to establish their own version of Britain. Within the Nationalist Empire of Cornwall, the Leader George Eustice finds himself in a state of constant struggle against his second-in-command and the leader of the British Blackshirts Jacob Rees-Mogg; in England, a power struggle is emerging between Chris Heaton-Harris and former leader of the LibDems, Ed Davey; all the while Lancashire in the North is rapidly becoming a very pro-Chinese nation, following the ideas of Chinese Socialism led by Angela Rayner. Tensions are running high across the Isle, and coupled with the Monarchy now being divided among Anglia, London, South England and the new United Kingdom of England, it's only going to be a matter of time before the British Isles descends into war again. But when?
