7KU (Impact Timeline)

The 7KU or the 7 Kingdoms union is the name of the unified: Kingdom of England, Kingdom of Wales, Kingdom of Scotland, Kingdom of Man and The Isle, Kingdom of Ireland, Kingdom of Wessex and Kingdom of Brittany. It is located on the Western Isle and West France, with an overall population of 85 million residents.

History
It was formed following the First Great War as a way for the countries to promote economic and social prosperity following the Western Obliteration Event, which left 6% of the population of the Western Isle and Western France dead. The destruction of many major ports from tsunamis meant most trade was only maintained between the Western Isle Countries and Western France, due to the close proximity between them. Tariffs infringed trade during the desperate time and a meeting of the leaders of each country in 1897 took place at Birmingham, England. Talks continued for 5 days from 7th September to 12th September and led to three major agreements:

·        The Tariff Reduction Agreement which agreed that all signing members would lower trade tariffs by 75% within 2 years, allowing trade between countries to flow more easily and repairs to be swift.

·        The Western Common Currency Agreement which agreed that all signing members would convert to a newly introduced Western Pound Stirling and drop local currencies by 1907 as to promote economic ties between members.

·        The Unitary Parliament Agreements which agreed that a new international body would be created to oversee the reconstruction of all countries as to agree on new laws all member countries could agree on and was to be implemented by 1912.

However, the talks were briefly interrupted after arguments broke out between the Spectral Powers and the Blue Allies on the second day of talks due to the diverse ideologies of all the members however they were resolved after leader of England and Scotland agreed to put their differences aside.

It was not accepted lightly by the public though and following the decision many riots ensued across all member countries as the huge public negativity after The War manifested into the Christmas Riots of 1897. After the end of The Riots in late January 1898 most hatred subsidised as government propaganda spread across media, for the union. Surprisingly, a large percentage of the population received this positively and came to support The Union, a huge success for The Union members’ governments.
