 **United Kingdom of Great Britain and Irelandball** (also commonly known as **Brittaniun Imperiumball**, the **United Kingdomball** and **UKball**) is a sovereign state, colonial empire and a  countryball located in the British isles, specifically in Europe. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, making it an island nation.

He is one of the main and if not, most powerful empires in the world as of now, its empire dominates every continent giving him the name “Where The Sun Never Sets”, especially since the colonial empire ranges from North America to Asia.

His economic levels is superb, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there are no poor nor homeless people, he has the biggest economy on all of Europe. His military is well trained and his naval forces dominate the oceans, this has caused some nations to be scared of him and others to have a high respect towards him.

## History

### Napoleonic Troubles (1792-1815

UKball and the other conservative, monarchist European empires formed a new giant coalition against  Franceball, who defeated them in 1792, and again in 1794/5. She made a puppet state out of  Dutch Republicball, attacked  Papal Statesball in 1797 and tried to disrupt UKball's trade with his colonies in 1798 by landing in Egypt. However, UKball blew up her ships at Aboukir Bay, known also as the Battle of the Nile, and she was forced to abandon the plans after having build a new organisation in Egypt to withdraw it from English and Turkish influence. In 1800, UKball sent a fleet to  Denmark-Norwayball, and  Swedenball's clays, to persuade them not too enter the Northern League with  Russian Empireball, which succeeded. He annexed  Irelandball's clay in 1801 as well. UKball paid a new coalition (the Third one) who was defeated again by  Franceball and ended in 1802 with the Peace Treaty of Amiens. However, UKball refused to leave Cape Colony to  Batavian Republicball, and war resumed with his sister in 1805. He defeated her at Cape St. Vincent, then annihilated her navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, escaping from an immediate invasion, winning control of the high seas. At the same time he sent a new coalition of  Austrian Empireball and  Russian Empireball to bash her on the continent but  Franceball crushed it in the battle of Ulm, and after taking  Viennaball, in Austerlitz.  Denmark-Norwayball, having been attacked by UKball, joined  Franceball in 1807/9, and by 1811  Franceball, after having kicked all the successives coalitions, ruled most of Europe.

But then  Franceball invaded Imperial  Russiaball's clay in late-1812, winning at Borodino, but was forced to retreat from a burning  Moscow when she was sick. She was defeated by the Sixth Coalition in 1813 at the Battle of Leipzig, and by June 1814, the Coalition forces were moving in on Paris; UKball had landed in  Portugalball's clay (his ally since 1386) and helped  Spainball kick out  Franceball and Napoleonic (Kingdom of) Spainball, her son, there in the Peninsular Wars (1808-1814).  Franceball sent her Bonapartist instincts to Elba, but they escaped, and in mid-1815, returned to  Franceball's clay.

The War of the Seventh Coalition, saw  Kingdom of Prussiaball defeated at Les Quatre Bras by an instantly resurrected french Grande Armée, before the gathered  Prussiaball’s army, UKball and  Dutch Republicball stepped in to help him at the Battle of Waterloo, where  Franceball was defeated for good, and her Bonapartist instincts sent to UKball's estranged son St Helenaball's clay, where they died in 1821. UKball and  Austrian Empireball set up the Congress of Vienna, to decide on the terms of the Treaty of Paris, and the Treaty of Kiel as well, sharing a new Europe in Great Empires to control  Franceball.

### **Rule, Britannia!- The Pax Britannia  (1815-Present)**

After the reduction of the liberal  Franceball, UKball emerged as the world's foremost power. He now had a massive overseas empire, and billions of pounds' worth in industrial and economic revenue. He began a policy of abolitionism (anti-slavery), and was first to abolish the slave trade in 1807, then UKball freed his  Black slaves in 1833.

UKball's status was soon put to the test, as in 1839, his most profitable colony, India experienced troubles with the  Afghanballs to the North-West. The East India Company's opium trade with  Qing Chinaball had also just been cut off, and UKball beat up Qing China for  Hong Kongball in 1841/2. UKball's cities grew and grew in the mid-19th century, as the Industrial Revolution attracted migration to London. However,  a potato famine in Ireland during the year of 1845 caused discontent in his mind. The Maori signed the Treaty of Waitangi with him in 1840 though, which made him happy.

However, right after hosting the Great Exhibition of 1851, he went to war with  Franceball and  Sardiniaball against  Russian Empireball, who was being aggressive towards the declining  Ottoman Empireball. Despite a beautiful victory under the  French commandment at Sevastopol in  Crimea, UKball suffered a bad defeat due to a military blunder at the Battle of Balaclava. By 1856, after another Baltic expedition had been planned, the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Crimean War.

The 1856 Arrow Incident gave him an excuse to go to war with  Qing Chinaball again, with  Franceball, in 1860, when he burned down  Qing Chinaball's Summer Palace, and got Kowloon for his adopted son  Hong Kongball.

UKball also built a large sewer system at home, after the Great Stink of 1858, and introduced labour and welfare laws, including pensions, in the 1850s and 1860s. He did not interfere with  USAball's Civil War, and instead made inventions like photography, steamships, and discovered Darwinian evolution. By 1871, however, the balance of power was dramatically shifted when two newly-unified nations appeared on the world stage -  Italyball and  German Empireball. As demands for Home Rule from the  Irish and  Scottish grew, he ignored them and fought the Zulu Wars of 1878-79 and the First Boer War of 1881 for the Empire. However, after an Egyptian campaign in 1882, UKball participated in the Berlin Conference, and during the Scramble for Africa, forcibly adopted many new African balls, such as Sokotoball, and Rhodesiaball. He got the island of Cyprusball in 1878 following an incident with  Ottoman Empireball.

In 1885 he led a campaign in  Canada, and in 1892 formed the Labour party at home, after the Ripper murders of 1888. In 1890, he traded Heligolandball to  Germanyball for custody of Zanzibarball, with whom he fought a 38-minute war with in 1896.

The new century dawned with UKball at the apex of his power, the largest, most powerful, and by far the wealthiest empire known in history.
