United Kingdom (Faction)

The United Kingdom was one of the 5 factions present on Pickleslmao. It was led by Noah and founded on 150 BED.

## Statistics

### Capital:

Bruh Island

The Faction was dissolved during The Closing of Pickleslmao along with all other factions on the server. The faction only had one member during it's entire existence, Noah.

The United Kingdom held 2 main territories, British Bruh Island and Josh-Ted-Landia. In addition to these, the U.K held many island territories and Fort Island.

## History

### Founding (150 BED)

The United Kingdom was created along with Mexico on 150 BED. The founding took place on Bruh Island when Noah joined the server. From 150 BED to 130 BED South Bruh Island was the capital of The United Kingdom. This was because Noah's main base was on South Bruh Island and the area was the most developed place on the server. However, on 130 BED the U.K moved their capital to Josh-Ted-Landia after Noah moved most of his items and valuables to the colony.

#### Expansion (150 BED - 60 BED)

After the colonization of Josh-Ted-Landia, Noah sought to colonize islands North of Bruh Island to limit Mexico's potential routes for expansion. This led to the creation of the British Island Territories on 100 BED. These islands would remain under British control until the server shut down on 50 AED.

Another colony was Fort Island, a repurposed colony near Connor's Old Base to prepare for potential conflict with Connor and the faction of Sweden. The original plan for Fort Island was to have TNT Cannons positioned towards Connor's Old House in case he made any moves. However, these TNT Cannons were never built and Fort Island was never used for its intended purpose.

### First War of Pickleslmao (75 BED)

> *"15 Diamonds in 50 Minutes.." - Noah*

After Noah threatened to blow up Connor's base unless he gave him 15 diamonds in 50 minutes, Noah proceeded to blow up Connor's old base before 50 minutes were up, therefore bringing the United Kingdom into conflict with Sweden. After Connor's house was blown up, Noah pronounced that Sweden was dead and Connor went into exile. Thus, the First War of Pickleslmao began.

#### Annexation of Old Sweden

After Sweden's capital was blown up, Noah sought to annex all of Connor's land. This included a village and Connor's Old House. Under U.K occupation, Fort Island was incorporated into British Sweden and a colony tower was set up over Connor's Old House. Old Sweden was under British control for the entirety of the First War of Pickleslmao, and Connor's Old House was under British rule until the server shut down on 50 AED.

#### Bombing of Josh-Ted-Landia

After Connor secured Emiliano's support, the duo took TNT and blew up Noah's Old House on Josh-Ted-Landia. This was the largest explosion of the server's history, and enraged Noah. Because of this bombing, Noah threatened to blow up Emiliano's Tower, this led to Emiliano pulling out of the conflict and joining Noah's side instead when Connor provoked him.

Emiliano booted Connor out of exile and along with Noah, killed him many times until he surrendered. This led to the end of the war in a Noah-Emiliano victory.

#### Treaty of Sweden

After Connor surrendered, the Treaty of Sweden was signed between The United Kingdom, Mexico, and Sweden. This treaty saw Connor go on trial for the Bombing of Josh-Ted-Landia, and saw the United Kingdom annex the Connor's Old House area. The village next to his old house would become a neutral area, however the United Kingdom still technically held control of the area until 25 AED, which it was then split between Noah and Emiliano. The occupation of Old Sweden would end with Old Sweden becoming a full colony of the United Kingdom and Connor having to move and establish New Sweden.

### The Era of Peace (75 BED - 25 AED)

After the First War of Pickleslmao, the United Kingdom stopped expanding, and Noah started to prepare for the fight with the ender dragon. During this time, the territories and colonies became more developed, and it all columnated in the unfinished Railroad Project, an operation by Noah to connect all of the U.K territories by railway. This operation became obsolete when Noah became the first player on the server to get an elytra.

After the Death of the Ender Dragon, progress on developing the territories slowed. Noah shifted his work away from developing the U.K and more towards building the Pickleslmao Museum, which he would never finish.

The final big project to take place on the U.K was the Construction of the Beacon after the Death of the Wither. This beacon was built on British Bruh Island and was completed on 25 AED.

### Decline of the United Kingdom (25 AED - 50 AED)

After the Construction of the Beacon was finished, development of the U.K stopped completely. Noah stopped playing as often and no new buildings were built, and no new projects were started. The only thing Noah did was admire his work as he accepted that the server would not last much longer.

The final thing built on U.K soil was the Dragon Egg Monument, which Noah built on 50 AED when the server was pronounced dead. The monument was made of diamond blocks and built next to the beacon on British Bruh Island. On the top of the monument was the one dragon egg that was taken after the Death of the Ender Dragon by Emiliano.

After the Dragon Egg Monument was built, the United Kingdom was dissolved by Noah and he left the server for the last time.

## Importance

The United Kingdom was the most powerful faction on the server, and controlled the most land on the server.
