United Kingdom of Britannia

Note: This is not yet a country, only one that is being considered.

Overview
With the end of World War II, it was clear that the Sun HAD begun to set on the British Empire. Having lost most of its colonies, the UK was a shadow of its former self, and, to lower financial burdens, had created the commonwealths as autonomous areas in the hope of slowing the backslide. It didn't happen. Gradually, many of Britain's colonies were stripped away as, in the early 21st Century, the Irish invaded Northern Ireland and quickly took it over, while Everetti tore the choicest chunk out of Canada. Many Britons began to wish for pride and prestige that had been lost when the British Forces were defeated in Norther Ireland, where the majority of the people supported Britain. As a result, the Commonwealth began increasingly drawn together again, embodying what remained of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Pressure has increased that the Four, long united under the crown of England, would be united under the flag of a Britannia.

Motivations
The British have been proven to be a proud race, and it is hard to forget that once, all the British Isles, Ireland, much of Africa, India and the whole continent of Australia had all been British. Having been humiliated in Ireland (where most British troops were at the time in Iraq) and Canada, many Britons were more than eager for a new flag to rally under where they could regain their pride as a whole. While Prime Minister Gordon Brown seems disinterested, the public seems fairly enthusiastic, especially in anticipation to a campaign to regain northern Ireland. In Victory, the peoples of the Empire would be spurred by Nationalism to unite. The futures of a potential Empire of Britannia lie in the fortunes of the Irish-British Struggle.
