Union of Britain

The National Flag of the Republic

The Union of Britain is a socialist republic on located in the British Isles. Created by the events of the 1925 Revolution.

## Britain between the Wars

### The Moderate Government

From its conception in 1925 to the dawning days of 1936. The Union was always controlled by the former elements of the Labour Party and its associate groupings like the Independent Labour, the National Socialist, etc. Led by men like Phillip Snowden, whose vision of a revolution and socialism are limited to say the least, yet his position and his government is ever more precarious with the charge of treason hanging from the royalist and the charge of counter-revolutionary, a Kerensky of England as it was declared by the ever growing radical left from the opportunity and fervor after 1925.

### June 14th Conspiracy

The Snowden government pursuing a moderate Labourite path to sociaism eventually would come to a boiling point with those that violently oppose it. As such was the conspiracy of June 14th, 1936. Several Republican National Militias units, long a hotbed of radical with its lack of structure and command marched on the capital joining force with a large part of the union. However, R.E.D command also intercepted a conspiracy by the royalist elements in the military to use the opportunity to defend London to seize the Government and launch a counter-revolution. Thus calling the military to the defend of the Government seems almost implausible, but in this chaos, Secretary of Home Affair, Oswald Mosley would save the day after his speech to a large mass of strikers convinced them to turn back and cut the transportation of the Middlesex Regiment to prevent a counter-revolution. Then with his own volunteer militia - the Revolutionary Guards and the police, they barricaded the roads to the city blocking the rebellious militias. Delayed and disorganized, the rebel militia dispersed after loyal units from Wales can be recalled. While with the main royalist conspiracy force - the Middlesex Regiment stranded and eventually surrounded, its leadership gave up after news that the city is safe and calm.

### The Mosley Government

In the aftermath of the two successive coup attempts, the Government of Phillip Snowden resigned. Triggering an election that Mosley easily sweap up with his popularity, charisma and more importantly the backing of the Labourite who saw him as the one capable to bring about a true English Socialism. Thus Mosley officially took office as the Chairman of the Union in the summer of 1937.

The Mosley Government quickly declared itself to full backing of the French-led revolutionary reforms. While strengthening the R.E.D, Mosley also got rid of elements dangerous to him by sending them to France to take part in Operation Lumiere and the subsequent war as the Strategic Warfare Assistance Department, among these most notably would be the director T.E Lawrence himself.

A new economic plan drafted by Mosley known as the Revolutionary Industrialisation Program aimed to solve the failing British industry following the lost of the capitalist market and a decade of shifting major focus to he Home Isles's agrarian problems. The plan also included the rearmament of Britain for the coming war and the defense of the Isles. The Republican Army was centralised and put directly under the Government and the incorporation of the new Department of Political Warfare, leading to the disbandment of all Republican National Militias in place of a new British Revolutionary Guards, thus eliminated most of the radical left's attempt as formenting independent military power.

## Britain at War

The RIP prepared Britain fully for the war, despite strong protests from the traditional left-wing elements that always stress pacifism. With full backing of the English Socialists and the National Labourites, Mosley declared war on the German Empire and deployed the bulk of the Republican Army in France. The Republican Navy served with distinction to deter the majority of German and Exiles Naval actions in the French rear.

## Post-War Britain

### Democratization

Following the beginning of the war in 1939, Mosley has pushed through the legalisation of the Act of Wartime Government and thus a national unity policy that in effect a national wide censorship and political repression that suspended most of the democratic structures of the Union of Britain until 1946. With the end of the war and no justifications can be further made to his authority without creating serious opposition within his own faction and those of the English Socialists, not to mention the French Communards. The 1946 General Election of Britain carried on as soon as it was possible although under a strong censorship and carefully vetted candidate list, however, an election is an election and once more the traditional alliance with the Old Labour, National Labour and the English Socialist brought Mosley another term, that is due on 1951.

## Politics of Britain

### National Labour

A faction of moderate Labourites who was the backbone of the prior Governments of Britain, also whose credits and powers were absolutely destroyed in its failure in 1937 and was reduced to a mere junior partner in Mosley’s power sharing pact. If they win the 1950 election, which would certainly not be a victory made by the National Labour’s popularity. Its leader would be Malcolm MacDonald, forming a cabinet of mostly Mosley’s yes-man yet again

### English Socialists

##### Main article: Blairism

The English Socialists are a strange group of revolutionaries, neither too radical nor too moderate, yet calling for a revolution of their own. Its inspired by the lots of Clement Atlee and especially that of Eric Blair in their vision of an English Revolution and the English Socialism based on a patriotic and romantic vision of the English way of life in opposition to the foreign imports of ‘’German philosophy imposed with a French flavour’’ of which they refer to the radical socialists. And another point would be its total opposition to pacifism, this faction, along with the Mosleyists favour rapid armement for British home defense and power projection. This faction is as much powerful as Mosley and in many ways they support Mosley but not without conservation as this faction commits itself more to the principles of Democracy and often views Mosley as a demaguage power hungry politician who cares nothing about the revival of England. Upon their electoral victory in the Mosley’s Democracy, only a moderate cabinet of lesser voices can take power, being a certain Hugh Dalton.

### Mosleyites

The Mosleyites are supporters of the "Grand Protector's" distinct, if highly unorthodox and repressive, vision for England. Citing the absurdly dysfunctional state of affairs before the Chairman's reign, as well as the existential threat beyond the German border, they continue to sway much of the population. This faction represents Mosley's personal gambit to remain in power, and is a decently likely winner of any election to come. Should the chairman win once again,He will further cement his control.

### The Radicals

Relic of the old fire that scorched the British political landscape in 1925, a broad terms for groups that are unrelated to eachother, with contradicting ideologies and structure outside the mainstream political establishment of Britain. The influence of the radicals can mostly be seen over the unions that have lost their autonomy to the Central Government and desire the restoration of their old autonomies and however, their power bases are most powerful in the schools and universities, in the student's political clubs and its militants.
