The Kingdom of England (formerly known as the UK) is a medium sized country in Western Europe. 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 new polity was able to secure a congress but an unfortunate decision to open-up the war with France again has meant that the Kingdom is still under occupation by France and Canada.
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.

The Rizon IRC network has channels for all Political parties, Military Units and other miscellaneous channels made by members of the community.
The national channels and forums have a strict moderation policy, any criticism of the moderators, the CP or other prominent figures may result in a ban.

The community also produces a wide range of articles; from election manifestos and guides, to flame wars and fun articles (UK National Media).
The National Newspaper Association, provides a monthly round-up of government and political news as well as quality or interesting popular articles.
History
The Kingdom of England came into being on day 1586 of the new world (March 24th 2012) with the signing over of Scotland and N.Ireland to the Republic of Ireland by UK president Talon Karrde (TUP), Jamesw & Mittekemuis (ESO) and Greatmoff [1].
Assuming the UK's place in the ONE alliance the nation was able to hold its first congress elections and briefly able to end French occupation of its lands and even advance into Northern France. Within 2 weeks however it has been wiped from the map again by France and Canada.
Geography
The Kingdom of England is currently under attack and occupation by Canada and France and its geographical integrity changes daily.

Politics
Like many other countries, the older members of the UK community have renamed the generic institutions of eRepublik as far as possible, such as Congress and the President, to assign a cultural flavour to them and an element of uniqueness. The elected members of the UK Congress are commonly called Members of Parliament (MP) and make up the national forum based House of Commons, while the President is commonly referred to as the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister
The President of the United Kingdom is the head of the UK Government, he or she appoints and manages the Ministers who perform the day-to-day administration of the country. The current Prime Minister is Talon Karrde of the The Unity Party.
Parliament
The UK usually has 40 Congress seats, although this can fall during invasions. Each region will typically have three candidates with four wildcards making up the total of 40. As the region of London holds a large proportion of the UK population, most wildcards tend to be selected from London candidates. During the December 2011 term, there was no people in Parliament due to the invasion, which continued through to the March Presidential elections.
As well as voting on in-game proposals, the House of Commons votes on legislation in the eUK Forums. Legislation comprises of proposals written up and enforced entirely by the UK 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.

Military
Armed Forces
The United Kingdom military has ungone many recent changes and is currently being reformed after its disbandment under Thomas765 (TUP). The new national army consists of one Military Unit operating on a commune system where all troops are supplied with the goods they produce. They fall under the command of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence of the UK military. The army fights at home or abroad in order to defend the United Kingdom and her ONE allies.
The British Armed Forces currently recruit any citizen able to fight and are willing to travel, regardless of strength or rank. Higher skill players receive higher quality and quantity of supplies to maximize damage.
Alliances
Recent history has seen a great deal of change. The United Kingdom was once a member of the ATLANTIS alliance but adopted a policy of neutrality following the organization's dissolution, initiating a period characterized by extremely low relations with it's former allies such as the USA and Sweden. As a consequence the UK eventually joined PEACE Global Community in a memorable episode of political turmoil prior to the PEACE Invasion of North America, a controversial move as PEACE and ATLANTIS were traditionally enemies. The United Kingdom left PEACE in November 2009 after many key allies had also left. The United Kingdom became a member of the Phoenix Alliance, the successor of PEACE, on December 06, 2009. On the 24th of February 2011, the United Kingdom left Phoenix and joined 20pxTerra but left on April 25th 2011, due to dissagreements with other member nations mostly over their treatment within the alliance and foreign policy.
After leaving Terra the United Kingdom tried to maintain the Strasbourg Treaty and for a time succeeded. However with the changing political climate and growing ever-closer to ONE nations the treaty became a Non-Agression Pact despite both France and Germany remaining Terra members. It was eventually disolved (neither side will agree on the reasons), and currently the United Kingdom is at war with all of their former Terra allies.
The UK joined ONE in December as a full member nation of the alliance, having been pro-ONE for most of the year.

Economy
Tax
The UK tax system encourages maximum productivity in the companies which supply it to lower prices, increase exports and raise tax revenue. Products which the UK can produce at optimal productivity have a low local tax and high import tax, while products which the UK cannot produce with high productivity have a high local tax and low import tax.

Trade
The United Kingdom occasionally blocks trade with enemy nations. Due to poor diplomatic relations, frequent targets include Ireland and USA. In June 2011, Greece and Croatia were both embargoed by Jamesw, following their support of Ireland during the UK's invasion.
