With ten regions bordering a number of other nations, these numerous borders has made the Kingdom a key tactical crossroads which was frequently fought over during world wars for the ocean crossings between North America, Western Europe and Scandinavia.
The UK recently (November 2011) found itself a target for it's resources and was defeated, divided up and occupied by Canada, Ireland and France.
After 3 months of occupation the then CP of the United Kingdom surrendered Scotland and N.Ireland to Ireland in return for peace. The loss of 2 of its constituent Kingdoms leading to the reversion of the nations name to the Kingdom of England, in-line with the excessive roleplay established by its older citizens.

The succeding Kingdom has found itself rather unchanged domestically with its ageing population that dominate the leadership of the nation remaining in place along with all the accroutements and byzantine rules they established in the UK.
The Kingdom has a retained its recently re-introduced national army although it offers a relatively small military capability and like its predecessor it relies on diplomacy and mutual protection pacts for its defence, using the influence of the few elder citizens that often take leading roles in alliance headquarters to persude its current alliance ONE to send it aid.

This peculiarity has carried through to the Kingdom of England although it is not embraced by all the top 5 parties.
Country President
The President of the United Kingdom is the head of the Kingdom of England's Government, The traditional parties operate a policy of patrimony and therefore the elected CP appoints and manages a number of 'ministries' that perform various in-game and community functions.
The current Prime Minister is Talon Karrde of the The Unity Party.
Congress
The UK usually had 40 Congress seats, although this could vary considerably during times of war. The December, January and Febuary and terms went by without elections due to invasion.
The Kingdom of England has yet to hold a congress election across all of its potentential regions. The elections in March saw a heavy proportion of votes being cast in the traditional capital of London.
On the 'Traditional' forums the congress or 'House of Commons' may vote on various legislation. Legislation comprises of proposals written up and enforced entirely within that forums community and are not part of the in-game mechanics, legislation covers such things as constitutional issues, government structure, government procedure and any schemes or projects that might draw significant public funds.
