Britain

A bridge in a city called 'London'.

Britain is a country on Earth. It is home to multiple British people, who are characterized as 'strange' in comparison to the rest of the world due to 'something about them' seeming a little bit 'off'.

In meta terms, British people are 3D while others are 2D, and their artistic styles clash drastically because of the sharp differences between the Professor Layton style and the Ace Attorney style. To the characters within the Snatverse, this extra-dimensional quality is unseen by most.

## Overview

Britain and London was introduced in Professor Layton versus Phoenix Wright, which takes place shortly after Trials and Tribulations but before Apollo Justice— as Fey had not yet left for her training and Wright had not been disbarred yet, as the two visit the city known as 'London' for the Legal League of Attorneys summons. However, while he was there, he found himself defending a girl named Espella for assault.

Britain is home to many strange and curious locations, but most centrally to Ace Attorney being Labyrinthia, a drug testing ground for the pharmaceutical company Labrelum Inc.

Britain is also neighboring with various other countries of which it holds ties to, one of which being France.

## The Merger Conspiracy

Britain has not always existed within the Ace Attorney universe, and thus no British people existed prior to when it was introduced into it.

Britain was merged into the Ace Attorney universe when Mike Meekins was assaulted by Jake Marshall during the events of Rise from the Ashes. Due to Meekin's extra-universal nature and status as a alter-reality being, his assault caused his original universe (the Professor Layton one) and his current one to collide.

This did not happen immediately, and it's unknown when the merge actually happened due to the secrecy surrounding Britain's existence. However, thanks to the development of Labrelum and cooperation of unspecified government agencies, most if not nearly the entire world are completely unaware of the fact that Britain, or its entire land mass, did not exist previously.

Unspecified memory-tampering drugs have been used on the entire world's population to supplant memories of the country being taught in schools, and assistance was made to ensure that certain families would accept suddenly having British relatives they are sure they did not have previously.

### Mental Wellness Pony

The Mental Wellness Pony is a side effect of the memory-altering drug on the brain, only experienced by few people who've been effected by it. Notable people who have experienced the Mental Wellness Pony are Phantom, Marshall, and Atmey, but it's possible that more people have seen her.

### American-British

The American-British are a subtype of British people who have no explanation as to how they exist. People such as the Storyteller, Espella, Darklaw, Foxy, and Barnam all fall into this group due to their stylization but definite existence in Labyrinthia since before the merge happened. Whether they existed prior to the merge is unknown, as non-british people in both games are completely different.

### British-ification

British-ification is a process by which a previously non-British person becomes British. This is a very rare occurrence, and the only know person who has gone through it is Ghoul.
