British Union State

The **British Union State** (or Nazi Occupied Britain) was a puppet state created by Nazi Germany after the loss of the Allies in World War 2. Here all of Britain including England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are occupied under Nazi rule, it's also the first puppet state formed after the Axis victory of World War 2 around 1946. Just like the US and France, the official government of Britain is changed from a Constituational Monarchy to a Fascist Dictatorship; and London still remains the capital unlike France where its capital was moved from Paris to Vichy. After the Second Revolutionary War, the United American Resistance, led by a union of resistence groups, helped the british resistance liberate britain and overthrew the oppressive regime thus dissolving the Puppet Government permanently.

## History

Not much is different in the British State compared to both the French and American State seeing how all three are under totalitarian rule and are heavily authoritarian seeing how they're all now under German, Japanese, and Italian rule. Radio and television news broadcasts are fully controlled by the government so only the right information can be released to the public. The British Union of Fascists never dissolves as Adolf Hitler forms a friendship with the founder Oswald Mosley and helps Britain become the Fascist state it is today.

The National Anthem of Britain is changed from "God Save The Queen" to "Comrades the Voices", the anthem of the British Union of Fascists. Oswald Mosely overthrows the monarchy and becomes the leader of Britain only to simply follow Hiter's prders; the Royal Family and Winston Churchill are exiled to Australia and are never seen again. Much like France and the US, the Hitlerjugend is introduced and concentration camps are set up in isolated areas in England, Scotland, and Wales. Scotland also never tries to declare independence due to the heavy occupation taking place thus rallies and protests could have never taken place. The flag is changed completely from the Union Jack to the flag used by the British Union of Fascists.

## Government

The Union had become a Fascist republic, with direct control over many colonies (though the number of British colonies was reduced significantly). It was led by a State Union Leader, who was Oswald Mosley, the leader of the Union of British Fascists, which was one of the few parties permitted in the country. Hitler gave the new British Fascist regime independence; allowing them to make their own decisions. However, German influence was still strong. The government spread the idea that the British were a Germanic people, and the German language had become one of the requirements to learn in school, with English. Nonetheless, few actually started using the German language, even within the government.

## Economics

The Economy of the Union State is considerably prosperous, being closely tied to that of the rest of the Reich. The Greater Pound Sterling is the official currency.

## Geography

The total area of the Union State is approximately 244,820 square kilometres (94,530 sq mi). The country occupies the major part of the British Isles archipelago and includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern one-sixth of the island of Ireland and some smaller surrounding islands. It lies between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea with the southeast coast coming within 22 miles (35 km) of the coast of northern France, from which it is separated by the English Channel.

In 1993 10 per cent of the B.U.S was forested, 46 per cent used for pastures and 25 per cent cultivated for agriculture. The Royal Greenwich Observatory in London was chosen as the defining point of the Prime Meridian in Washington, DC, in 1884, although due to more accurate modern measurement the meridian actually lies 100 metres to the east of the observatory.

The Union State lies between latitudes 49° and 61° N, and longitudes 9° W and 2° E. Northern Ireland shares a 224-mile (360 km) land boundary with the Republic of Ireland. The coastline of Great Britain is 11,073 miles (17,820 km) long. It is connected to continental Europe by the Channel Tunnel, which at 31 miles (50 km) (24 miles (38 km) underwater) is the longest underwater tunnel in the world.

The Union State contains four terrestrial ecoregions: Celtic broadleaf forests, English Lowlands beech forests, North Atlantic moist mixed forests, and Caledon conifer forests. The country had a 2019 Forest Landscape Integrity Index mean score of 1.65/10, ranking it 161th globally out of 172 countries.

## Territories

The Union controlled largely the same territories as the former British Empire, however, many colonies were lost to other countries. Germany took control of northern Egypt (Upper Nile), Italy took Tripolitania, Japan invaded Australia and Papua New Guinea, Spain took control of Gibraltar, the Greater Arab Republic took control of its territories in the Middle East (Iraq, Aden, and Oman). India became independent under Japanese oversight, and so did Burma. Hong Kong, Malaya, Sarawak, and Brunei were taken by Japan as well. However, the Union nonetheless maintained many of the Empire's old colonies, and tried to acquire new ones as well, in order to keep British nationalism going across the country.
