United Kingdom

“”This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

— William Shakespeare

United Kingdom (UK), sometimes referred to as Britain, officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is an island Western democracy and ceremonial monarchy located in north-west Europe. He is a gentlemen, and almost always wear a top hat and a monocle. His favourite thing in the whole wide world is tea. He could be stereotyped as barbaric too, with rotten teeth and a knife for stabbing people in the rainy streets of London.

The United Kingdom is made up of three constituent countries in Great Britain: England, Scotland, and Wales, plus one province in Ireland: Northern Ireland. The UK also owns some Crown Dependencies such as Isle of Man and oversees territories such as Gibraltar.

Britain is often seen as a crumbling old man wishing to live in his past. UK used to be a global superpower, now reduced to just a continental power. But despite this, the UK still runs an organization composing of almost all his former colonies, called the Commonwealth of Nations.

UK's food is trash, ridiculous and disgusting, despite himself having colonized many places with delicious cuisine and spices.

History

After Ireland gained independence in 1922, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland reformed into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

World War II: the Greater War

In 1939, Germany rose up again. When Germany invaded UK's ally Poland, UK declared war on Germany, but his efforts were too little too late. UK didn't want to fight another Great War, but Churchill know that they had to fight again or Germany will take over everything. Still, little actual fighting occurred between the two until France got invaded and occupied in 1940; Free France fled to Britain. Germany switched tactics and conducted air raids that bombed British cities at night throughout 1940 and 1941, hoping Britain would surrender. Britain ordered all his citizens to turn off the lights at night so Germany would have a harder time hitting targets. Britain, with the help of Canada, fought back with their planes in what's known as the Battle of Britain. Germany was unable to break Britain's air defenses and gave up on the large scale air raids in 1941.

The United Kingdom and his dominions faught the Axis across the world, including Japan, who was also on a rampage. In 1945, Germany finally surrendered, finally ending the war. British colonies in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific have been restored after Japan surrendered soon after.

After the Wars

UK was broke after WWII. He tried but soon gave up trying to take land in the Middle East. He left the place in 1948 after realizing that promising the same land to two different groups of people with cultural, racial and religious differences was a bad idea and decided to leave the United Nations to deal with the Holy Land. A new era of war was looming over the horizon, a Cold War. With USA and USSR both now possessing weapons of mass destruction, Britain was no longer a true superpower, however still assisting America such as by becoming a founding member of NATO in 1949. Instead of fighting costly colonial wars like before, he let his colonies go. Day by day, his empire shrunk.

In 1973, UK joined the European Economic Community alongside Ireland and Denmark, which would become the European Union in the future.

By 1989, as the Iron Curtain fell, UK had become a "modern" state—advanced in technology yet retaining his culture. During the 1990s, the economy became unstable, and Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales each received their own parliaments. At last, in 1997, British Hong Kong was handed back to a now communist China. The sun had finally set on the British Empire.

New Millennium

UK was officially involved in the Second Gulf War coalition in 2003, and he fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria between 2003 and 2015. Britain is no longer quite as powerful as he used to be (though still proving that size isn't everything). Still, after the 2005 Islamist terrorist attacks left him reeling, UK now has one of the best security systems in the world and is one of the world's most advanced nations.

In 2009, numerous British MPs were exposed for using taxpayer money to cover personal expenses.

In 2014, there was a Scottish independence referendum vote which the results were 55.30% for no independence and 44.70% for yes. On 24 June 2016, UK announced that he would leave European Union, as he disliked being told what to do. UK officially left on 31 January 2020 at 3:00 P.M. PST, known as the "Brexit". Also in 2020, UK got infected by COVID-19.

Since Kier Starmer took power in 2024, UK has become something akin to an authoritarian dystopia. Islamist migrants flooded in and are damaging the country severly, but facing little to no punishments. Muslim rape gangs faces almost no charges and are allowed to roam free in the UK because the government wants to appear more " culturally diverse", putting women in grave danger. On the other hand, posting right-wing and government/policy-criticizing memes on the internet, defending yourself, or eating bacon could get you arrested and land you long sentences in prison, UK has given up on free speech. Realizing the fact that he couldn't win the next elections due to how unpopular he had become, Starmer cancelled the elections.

In June 2025, UK sent his patrol vassal HMS Spey to the Taiwan Strait to protect Taiwan and monitor Chinese water drills involving driving warships into other nation's boundaries.

In August 2025, UK passed the Online Safety Act, requiring age verification on all social platforms by sending in personal data, and potentially revealing the identities of anonymous users from sites such as Wikipedia and 4chan, despite those websites not being located in the UK. Some have accused UK of being an authoritarian a*shole and censoring the Internet.

Trivia

• A third of Brits drinks for than 3 cups of tea a day!
• There is a special meatball dish in Britain called "faggot".
• Big Ben is not the clock, but the bell inside it. It rings every 15 minutes, and one can hear it from five miles.
• In the 20th century, Britain kind of stopped improving his sewage system. Rainwater and sewage waste go into the same pipe and mix together, so when it rains heavily it spills into rivers. This caused 86% of rivers in UK to be rated "not good".

The Bri'ish Accent

The stereotypical "British accent" is a term often used by non-Britons to refer to the way English is spoken in the United Kingdom. It is often used in memes as a harmless mockery against British people. Here we will explain some of the features of the British accent.

Words like "bath" and "glass" are pronounced with a long "a" (like "barth" and "glahss"). The "t" and "f" sound is usually skipped, for example: "Bottle of Water" = “bo'ohw'o'wo'er”. Words like "soccer ball" and "chips" are different (like "football" and "crisps").

The British are also stereotyped into overcomplicating everything in a sentence and adding a lot of fancy words ("truth or dare" turns into "authentic factual response or mischievous challenge").
