1990s

Life today

Newport docks, from the Transporter Bridge

Newport Docks, in Gwent, South Wales.

The UK give Scotland independence in late 2014 after a Scottish referendum favoured this 6 months earlier.

UKIP radicals, Anti-peace process Irish Republicans, Fascists, the EDL and Islamic radicals are the main threats to the nation and have been related to several bombings and killings since 2001.

Crown Dependencies

There are 4- Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Mann and the Territory of Shag Rocks, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

Overseas dependencies

It has a few semi-attached ex-colonies like the British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands (A better world TL) and Frisia (A better world TL).

Given its dominance and leading role in the establishment of the British Empire, many times England and the English are used as synonym of Great Britain and the British, respectively, by people outside the United Kingdom. The other 3 constituent nations are Gibraltar, Cornwall and Wales.

Gibraltar 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 narrowly defeated  Spain with Moroccan 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.

Economy

The economy is very diversified and the nation is very stable in economic terms. It is a major exporter of oil, natural gas, fish products, cheeses, wood products, beer, hand tools, powered machinery, plastic furniture and polypropylene piping. Tourism, banking, mobile phone production, heavy industries, car construction, cobbling, coal mining and light industry are also major industries.

It once ruled over several places and still has close ties with the former colonies like New Zealand and New South Wales.
