United Kingdom of Great Britain, New England, Ireland, Southern Spain, and Jutland

''This article is about the current United Kingdom as well as the pre-merged United Kingdom based in London. For the other country involved in the merger, see United Kingdom of New England and Southern Spain.'' The United Kingdom of Great Britain, New England, Ireland, Southern Spain, and Jutland, otherwise known as the United Kingdom, British Empire, or just Britain, is a country on Bruhyluven, primarily centered in Europe and North America. Its capital is London and its most populous city is Boston. It is considered one of the superpowers of Bruhyluven, owning land on five continents and even outside of Earth.

The country is effectively an autocracy with deet0109 and NBC in power, but is otherwise a very free country. It was originally founded as just the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, and Jutland (UKGBIJ) in December 2020, much to the disdain of the United Kingdom of New England and Southern Spain, but the two countries united in February 2021.

History
Britain was founded immediately after the Great Reset, on December 1, 2020. This is the date marked on the plaque located in London; the city was founded on the same day. Relations with NBC, the former ruler of the U.K., were immediately soured, while the U.K. moved to establish good relations with the United Nations zone and the SCP Foundation.

Cornwall, part of the U.K., was heavily damaged by the December 1, 2020 "Mop-Florida" Incident where the entirety of Florida was copied and pasted into the Bay of Biscay. This later inspired the January 2, 2021 "Deet-Hawaii" incident, where Hawaii (aka the Sandwich Islands) were pasted in the same spot.

Mespotamia was annexed on December 31, followed by India on February 1, 2021. The United Kingdom supported the U.N. during the 1st Great War in early December 2020, but did not send any forces, due to deet being preoccupied.

Relations with the Ordensstaat Burgundy were and are quite cold ever since the country was founded on December 2, 2020, due to the bridge between Great Britain and France being severed. Tensions reached a boiling point during the English Channel Crisis on January 31, 2021, when the Burgundian navy parked itself close to the island's territorial waters. The British Navy was hastily deployed, with support by the United Republics of America, whose involvement escalated the crisis. Eventually a settlement was reached; 50% of the Burgundian navy was removed from the Channel in exchange for a Burgundian naval base on Cornwall being ceded.

Despite originally being hostile to the German Empire, the two later joined forces in the Gang of Six against Notforc and the URA. The U.K. did not officially participate in the war against Notforc, but did seize military installations placed in British territory.

On February 19, 2021, the two United Kingdoms officially merged into the single United Kingdom we have today, instantly becoming a superpower on the server. Details about the former United Kingdom of New England and Southern Spain can be found on its page.

The U.K. was a participant at the Berlin Conference on February 28, 2021, gaining several colonies in Africa. It also participated in the partition of Dakosia on April 1, 2021.

Geography
Being a large empire, Britain's geography is quite varied and expansive.

Europe
The U.K.'s primary territory is in Europe, specifically the British Isles. Its capital city is London, on Great Britain, and other cities on the island include Glasguh, Edinbruh, and Card. The island is connected by bridges to Ancap Island and Jutland, as well as to New Shetlands to the north. The island of Ireland is also part of the U.K., with its cities of Doublin' and Bellfast.

Jutland was one of the first territories to be added to the U.K., being situated in northern Denmark on the peninsula of Jutland. It borders the German Empire to the south. The Faeroe Islands to the north are also part of the U.K.

Southern Spain was once a part of the UKNESS while Gibraltar had been a separate colony of the UKGBIJ; the wall between the two is still present. The U.K. also claims Malta.

The Americas
Because the UKNESS was based in the eastern U.S., this area is another core area of the Empire. Its largest city is Boston, and it borders the German-held territories of Columbia to the west. This territory, known as New England, stretches from Georgia to Quebec and includes several former states of the URA. Florida is also claimed as part of New England, but this is disputed. More recently, the British Arctic Territories were claimed in place of Dakosia's Canadian territories.

The Falkland Islands and Dependencies were one of the first British colonies.

Asia
Mesopotamia, better known as Iraq, is a British colony in the Middle East, with the cities of Baghdad and Coveryourselfinoilville.

The British Raj covers the territories of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. It is run out of the administration office in Gujarat, and is home to the Indian Space Center, although it is nothing like its former glory.

Africa
South Africa, also including Namibia, Lesotho, and Swaziland, was the first UKGBIJ colony on the continent. It is nominally run out of Cape Town, but legally, every city established in the colony will be one of its capitals. South Africa was greatly expanded to include Angola, Rhodesia, and Bechuanaland following the Scramble for Africa.

Morocco is an even older British presence on the continent, formerly part of the UKNESS. It also includes Western Sahara.

Following the Scramble for Africa, British colonies on the continent also included Nigeria and Dahomey (capital: Lagos), as well as Uganda (which also includes part of southeast South Sudan).

Outside Earth
Nether Ohio, a copy-paste of Ohio in the Nether, is a British colony as well.

There is a bridge going north from Scotland that eventually crosses over the North Pole and leaves Earth entirely. After a few hundred blocks of void, it reaches an ocean in North Earth (part of Outer Earth), where the bridge continues until it reaches an island. That island is a British possession known as New Shetlands.
