Great Britain

Britain is a nation in Northwestern Europe famed for its architects, people, and influence. It was founded out of the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, united in sovereign and goals. It was founded on the server by PM TechGamer5555 and Chancellor WillowShade12. The current monarch is King Pepsi I. The capitol is London, though the capitols of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are Edinburgh, Gwynedd, and Dublin respectively.

Language
The Lingua Franca is typically English, but English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish are official and are the vernacular languages of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. And Scottish Gaelic is spoken in the Highlands of Scotland. Unlike irl, the vernacular languages are more widely spoken, and are the sole languages of signage and life. Government is mostly carried out in English. Cornish and Manx are recognized minority languages.

Division
In Britain there is strong regional management. Especially among the divisions of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Further there are counties within each. Britain will use the irl historical counties instead of the modern ones.

Government
The Governmental system is a Parliamentary Monarchist Confederation. Meaning there is a royal line and a monarch with little power, a Parliament of elected officials, and strong regional authority. Britain also has strong policies of Populism, meaning the individual citizens have the power for change, and the citizens come first. England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland all have devolved power. The leader of Scotland is First Minister Korbie12, of Wales is HeyImCai, and Ireland is First Minister Ice_And_Fire_Fox (Iaff). Of the national government there is Prime Minister TechGames of England, and unlike irl there is Chancellor WillowShade of Britain. They reside over Parliament and Cabinet, and The Chancellor manages most foreign affairs. This is almost exactly the same as irl Britain except regional power is stronger and Populism and Nationalism is emphasized.

Economy
The economic system is heavily Capitalism. Heavier free market is emphasized more than irl, and taxes are low allowing greater economic output. Private companies are important in Britain and travelling around you can see many like for example MAGMART and Clocksco.

History
The individual parts of Britain have their own histories on the server, but all converge into the current history of Britain.

Classic History
Classic History- England began in Classic founded originally be TechGames. England was close allies with West Germany back in Classic, and both worked together for most affairs. London began construction but tended to be a chaotic town due to a large lack of construction organization. Most of Northumbria was annexed by Classic Scotland. At the rise of power of the Polish Empire and Classic England had a sort of debt war with them and TechGames was forced to give power to the Polish throne leaving England as a mere puppet state. In the Planning Era England wasn't planned immediately, though later England was replanned by Tech. Garlicnaut joined the Planning Era and worked out a deal to begin the Royal Line with himself as its first King. Eventually Garlicnaut became completely inactive and was declared "dead." The throne passed to Prince, now King, Pepsi.

Classic Scotland was founded by a completely different set of people, lead by Alex, who is now in the nation of Norway. Scotland annexed Most of Northumbria after a deal with England. In the Planning Era Scotland was founded by Maple, who left Scotland and his friend Craig took over.

Classic Wales was founded by HeyImCai. He constructed a castle and village throughout his time in Classic. He was mostly inactive during the Planning Era.

Classic Ireland, like Scotland, was founded by completely different people. The original leader of Ireland was infamous for his attacks on foreign citizens. During the Planning Area no one planned anything in Ireland for the majority of the time, until Iaff Planned Ireland after being kicked out of Planning Era Finland along with WillowShade12 (Who was classic Germany and later West Germany).

In the Planning Era, eventually Craig leader of Scotland was unsure about his ability to even join the server when it released, after discussions with PM of England TechGames, he said he might have to give the leadership of Scotland to someone else, and if handled right it could form a Union. WillowShade12, the literal oldest member of the server who was (and is) close friends with TechGames and most of the other figures and citizens in the Planning Era British Isles. WillowShade was kicked out of Planning Finland (where he moved from Classic Germany). WillowShade, TechGames and other citizens of the Planning British Isles worked together to make a stable union. Ireland and Wales both agreed, and Britain was united in sovereign and goal. Eventually the infamous former dictator Allah Gaming Planned to set up a regime in Ireland. The British Government and Allah Gaming formed a treaty splitting Ireland and Northern Ireland (with Northern Ireland in Britain) as long as the south had military access through the north. Eventually, another Planned regime from another server joined and kicked Allah Gaming out.

National Symbolism
Britain is often portrayed with the national personification of the woman Britannia. Britannia is portrayed with her grand trident and shield. Britannia comes from the Roman name for Britain. Britannia representing Britain is similar to Helvetica representing Switzerland.

The individual flags of the parts of Britain all represent with this crosses the patron saints of each. Though irl the Welsh flag isn't represented, here we say that the reason the St. Patrick's Saltire is "skinny" on the Union Jack is because of the white on the Welsh Y Ddraig Goch flag.

The British Coat of Arms also is a representation of the nation. Showing historical symbols from all over. Lions and Roses represent England is symbolism, as the Thistle and Unicorn represent Scotland. The Red Dragon and Leeks (yes the vegetable) represent Wales. And Ireland is symbolized by Shamrock and Lyre.

Britain is one of the richest counties in the world for symbolism. This doesn't even scratch the surface. There are flags for even every county, coats of arms for everything, and ancient symbols and traditions worked into everything.

The national anthem of Britain is God Save the King (Queen when the monarch is female).

Though each part of Britain has its own anthem:


 * England- Jerusalem
 * Scotland- O Flower of Scotland
 * Wales- Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
 * Ireland- Londonderry Air (Subject to change)
