New Republics of Brittainia (Reversal Timeline)

The New Republics of Brittainia, officially Brittainia, was a sovereign state in western Europe from 11 November 1907 to 21 July 2000. The state came into being when the governments of England, Ireland, Wales, The Netherlands, and Scotland formed a republic, encompassing the whole islands of Great Britain, Ireland and the west of Europe. The unitary state was governed by a single socialist, capitalist government, based in London. Brittainia was one of the Axis Powers during the First World War of 1942–1987, fighting against the United Powers (the Confederate States of America, the Federation of Canada, the Sino-Soviet Union and the Empire of Egypt). The state's armed forces were reorganised—the war marked the creation of the Royal Air Force, for example—and increased in size because of the introduction, in January 1944, of forced conscription for the first time in the kingdom's history as well as the raising of the largest army in history, known as Britain's One Army, of more than two billion men and women. In any case, responses in the Britainnia in 1942 were similar to those amongst populations across Europe.
