Thus, English policy becomes increasingly radical over time: if the king finally breaks down, he may try to restore independence from Germany, but it is doubtful the people will forgive him for what he has done. If the resistance decides the time has come for a full-scale uprising, civil war will split the country in two, with the constant threat that the Cornish garrison will take matters into its own hands and restore order, German-style. Finally, there is the question of the "Ottawa Pretender": Elizabeth II, the exiled Queen of the United Kingdom, is closely monitoring the situation, and many speculate that a significant portion of the resistance is acting on her behalf. If her uncle is forcibly removed from power, there is no doubt that the remnants of the British Empire and its American allies will attempt to reclaim the United Kingdom.

Renunciation of the right to war After the double humiliation of defeat in World War II and the collapse of the empire, it became clear that Britain no longer ruled the seas—or anything for that matter. The country's days of conquest were long gone. Now, with the British Isles caught between two superpowers on opposite sides of the Atlantic, it was unilaterally decided that the country would only enter the battlefield for self-defense—or to aid an ally.

The cultural landscape of Great Britain is closely linked to its administrative divisions. In England, dominant cultures are distributed geographically: in the south, the Southern English culture predominates, in the north, the Northern English culture, and in between lies a band of Middle English culture.

In Wales, Welsh culture remains cohesive, but in the south, particularly around Cardiff, a strong English cultural influence is noticeable. In Scotland, cultural characteristics are largely determined by topography: in the south and the Grampians, Lowland culture predominates, while in the north and the Shetland Islands, Highland culture predominates.

The Isle of Man occupies a special place, where the distinctive Manx culture is preserved.

The country, although formally independent, is de facto a puppet of Germany, following its master in all aspects related to the economy and foreign policy, including membership in the German-led Unity Pact. The United Kingdom's factional status is Associate.

Britain has extremely negative relations with its former colonies—Canada, British Honduras, Australia, and New Zealand—considering them "Eternal Liberals." In turn, these countries consider the current British government illegitimate. Mexico also does not recognize the collaborationist government.

Britain has not renounced its territorial claims in Antarctica, which is causing tension in relations with the Argentine and Chilean Antarctic administrations.

From the moment the Wehrmacht's boots began to set foot on British shores, it was clear they would need a class of collaborators who would aid them in their efforts, no matter what. Zealous, dedicated individuals, willing to do anything to maintain the new order imposed by the Reich. And so it happened. Under the watchful eye of the SiPo and SD commander in Britain, Walter Potzelt, the British Free Corps was reformed.

They were staffed by the most fanatical and devoted collaborators—people who worshiped Hitler as a prophet. These men were supposed to assist the SS in their police work. It was the BDKs that committed the most horrific atrocities during the occupation, and to this day, most people recoil in fear at the sight of their insignia.

Despite German assurances of their loyalty and usefulness to the government, the BDK and their leader, Thomas Haller-Cooper, often remain at arm's length. After all, how can one trust people more loyal to Hitler than to their own people?

After the crushing defeat in World War II, the British Isles became little more than a playground for German corporations, which they manipulated as they saw fit. From Volkswagen to the Reichswerke, they dominated the British market and operated with impunity, as the government was unable to regulate their activities to protect British business. These corporations de facto controlled and owned the British economy itself, and the ordinary British worker was at their mercy.

Deutsche Bank Deutsche Bank Representing the bulk of Germany's financial power in the territories conquered by the Reich, Deutsche Bank is one of the largest multinational banks in Europe. When many British banks collapsed after the Sea Lion disaster, Deutsche Bank was on hand to absorb them or put them out of business. Blohm und Voss Blohm und Voss It was once said that one of the most powerful navies to ever sail the seas emerged from British docks and shores. Today, Blohm und Voss, a shipbuilder specializing in both civilian and military vessels, uses those same ports to arm the Kriegsmarine, taking advantage of readily available resources. VEC Unlike its more military-oriented contemporary, Siemens, the General Electric Company (or, as it is more commonly known, VEC) is one of the largest manufacturers of civilian electronics. Known for its relatively inexpensive and high-quality household appliances, there are few well-off homes in Britain that do not use VEC products. Volkswagen was founded in 1937 by the German Labor Front as a means of producing affordable and easy-to-use automobiles, literally meaning "people's car." Having achieved great success in other regions of the Reich, Volkswagen began expanding into Great Britain, where it encountered relatively little resistance from the local population.

The retreat from Britain was an utterly chaotic affair. Today, people in Britain talk about "the list" that separated those who could leave from those who had to stay. This list included most of Winston Churchill's war cabinet, including future prime ministers Herbert Morrison and Harold Macmillan.

The list also included many who were fortunate enough to find themselves under Lord Beaverbrook's thumb, such as current Opposition Leader Michael Foot. The exiles have been adrift in Ottawa for 17 years, and the government is permeated with discontent that they may never again be able to set foot on the soil of their beloved homeland.

Whether it's Queen and Country or the voice of the people, current party leaders Macmillan and Foot have risen to almost mythological status within their ranks. The Exiles' leadership couldn't be in safer hands, if there's any hope left...

A new organization emerged in opposition to the collaborationists: many British subjects refused to submit to King Edward's puppet government. This led to the creation of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Militia, or SVOEV for short.

Maintaining contacts with the Organization of Free Nations in Canada, they work to undermine the collaborationist government. Two main groups operate within SVOEV: the USO and the Left Resistance.

The SOE is a wartime organization engaged in espionage, intelligence, and daring operations. Now their mission is to liberate Britain and restore the rightful monarch to the throne. The SOE was formed after the chaos of the 1956 uprising. Their primary goal is to liberate the working class from the clutches of German corporations. It is led by a coalition of left-liberal organizations led by the war-scarred socialist Jack Jones.

Ever since pro-German, and then collaborationist, groups emerged in Britain, they have been led by the old guard, and the British People's Party is no exception. Downing Street has belonged to them since the time of the Duke of Bedford, and it remains so under Prime Minister Domville.

The architects of British fascism, the Old Guard believe in a top-down approach, in which fascism serves to protect and preserve the old order. Although their numbers in the Commons may be dwindling, their influence remains strong in the House of Lords, where Domville's most trusted allies are found.

Lord Tavistock and A.K. Chesterton still reside there, as does their old ally, Gerard Wallop, Lord Portsmouth, considered by many to be the heir to Domville. However, Wallop himself stands out as the leader of the Organicist movement—a small group of rural revisionists and absolutists. Time will tell whether the Old Guard will remain as it is or will turn to a revival of the Ancients.

The war and the execution of Sir Oswald Mosley did little to slow the advance of fascism in Britain, while the German overlords were penetrating the islands with their tentacles. Unlike his Old Guard rivals, Andrew Fountaine views fascism as a fire rising from below, destined to burn away the old in order to leave behind a pure future; this idea captivates his supporters as much as it horrifies his opponents.

Fountaine and his men lead a faction of the BNP known as the "Ideologues," which seeks to create a far more revolutionary fascist state than the one currently being championed by Chesterton and Domville. Fountaine creates an aura of strength and unity for his allies and enemies, but behind closed doors, the Ideologues are as divided as everyone else.

Newly appointed ministers Geoffrey Hamm and John Bean have revolutionary ideas about how the fascist island's government should function, and their conflict could threaten to extinguish the British flame once and for all...

Richard Austin "Rab" Butler is an odd man out in Domville's office for the simple reason that he is the only one whose intentions don't align with those of his colleagues. While Domville, Fountain, and others celebrate New Britain's rise from the ashes of decline, Butler sees his mission as healing Britain's wounds and restoring peace.

His BNP faction, known as the Pragmatists, includes numerous young politicians, each with their own interpretation of Butler's idea of ​​"democracy." One of them is the up-and-coming minister Reginald Maudling, a Butler supporter willing to dirty his hands with the Germans to gain an advantage over his enemies.

Another prominent figure in Butler's circle is Minister Harold Wilson, a long-time civil servant and the original co-author of the Beveridge Report during the war. Wilson seeks to reform the BNP into a government focused on the welfare and health of the British people.

After the bloodshed of 1956, Prime Minister Chesterton found his supporters defecting to his fiercest critic, Andrew Fountaine. Forced to resign, Chesterton and Lord Bedford nevertheless ensured that 10 Downing Street was occupied by their mutual friend and confidant, Admiral Barry Domville, a longtime member of the fascist Old Guard.

Under the Domville Ministry, the domestic situation in Britain stabilized, paving the way for economic prosperity. Under the control of German megacorporations, Britain entered the 1960s with growth unseen since the pre-war years.

At the signing of the Treaty of London, Hitler decided that Great Britain would be allowed to retain its status as a "free nation" under German leadership. The prime minister chosen by the Germans to lead the country in the immediate postwar period was none other than former Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who died less than a year in office.

He was quickly replaced by Hastings Russell, Duke of Bedford, who established nominal political independence for the British People's Party, a newly formed organization reorganized by the Duke after the deportation of its former leader, John Beckett, to Germany for his nominal Jewish ancestry. As for Britain's significant Jewish minority, over 300,000 were removed from their homes and deported to the Reich, never to be heard from again. It was in this uneasy peace following the Duke of Bedford's resignation in 1953 and the rise to power of the hardline fascist A.K. Chesterton that the real cracks in the British system began to appear. It was during the chaos of the West Russian War that the Resistance found its moment to strike.

Time was running out under the leadership of former British SAS chief David Stirling, who had once again secretly infiltrated the country. The speed with which Germany began to recover spurred Stirling to act quickly in an attempt to break the government, and in late 1956, he called for a general uprising against the Chesterton government.

After several bloody clashes in cities in which hundreds died, Stirling's attempt was thwarted, as was that of communist partisan Bill Alexander. Both were captured and tried for less than 15 minutes, after which they were executed.

On September 3, 1939, Great Britain and the French Republic declared war on the Third German Reich following its illegal invasion of Poland. The Germans invaded through Belgium and the Netherlands to bypass France's Maginot Line defenses. Following the failed evacuation of Dunkirk, Britain suffered further losses in Greece, Gibraltar, and Egypt.

Even the entry of the United States into the war did little to change the situation in the Allies' favor, as Japan had conquered all of Southeast Asia and British India was on the brink of a full-scale rebellion against British rule. However, the situation began to ease when the joint Anglo-American invasion of Morocco was carried out with great success. As a result, the Allies refocused their efforts on North Africa. Thus, in late 1944, Operation Market Garden began—a military operation that proved a decisive victory for the Allies. Although this victory was desperately needed by the Allies, it was short-lived. In March 1943, the Greater German Reich invaded the islands. Having concentrated their main forces in North Africa, the Germans easily advanced in single file until they captured all of Britain. They were stopped only by Northern Ireland, which was defended by a combined force of soldiers of various nationalities. The British, Americans, Brazilians, Uruguayans and many others took part in the defence of Northern Ireland, and some wartime journalists called this defence "the Great Defence of the Free Nations".

Despite their best efforts, the Allies were unable to resist the Nazis in Europe, and as a result, the war collapsed. Market Garden's gains were wiped out almost immediately as the Germans and Italians gained numerical superiority.
