Gibraltar (AKA: The Rock) was annexed by the UK to pre-empt a mooted Spanish invasion in the October 2016. Gibraltar was devastated after the abortive October 2018 Spanish attack, which Portugal, the UK and Ireland narrowly defeated, with logistical and intelligence help from New England, Moroccan and Algerian help. Spain was kicked out of the EU and NATO because they did not like the use of nerve gas on The Rock.

The deaths were 500 Gibraltarians (275 gassed), 100 Spanish, 50 Portuguese, 17 British (5 gassed) and Morocco 5.
