Geography


History

The Britannic Commonwealth is a remnant of the British Empire. First discovered by explorer Francis Drake, the Isles of Londinium rapidly became British colonies. During the Second World War, British Londinium fought for its independenence from the United Kingdom, and suceeded, establishing the Dual Empire of British Londinium. However, a bloody coup occured, and Skgorria and Atopiana invaded British Londinium, and establishing a fascist puppet government. In the resulting chaos, a once obscure corporation, the Royale Group bought out the entire nation. However, the Government managed to obtain sufficient funds to buy back the nation, and held democratic elections. A cruel dictator, James Swanner, took control and perpetrated a horrific genocide. A Coalition of nations invaded, and a new constitution gave birth to the Britannic Commonwealth of Eurasia.
