The Sun Sets Early

In this world, the British Empire becomes weaker and weaker in the late 19th century. By 1900, most of the British colonies have become independent. Very few colonies remained under full British control. Britain agreed to let go of countries like Canada and Australia as long as the queen was the highest authority in power of those countries.

During World War I, three of the former colonies unite under a Triple Entente-esque alliance called the "March Powers", run by the Queen of Britain. In 1931, a meeting was called with Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to discuss the future of the countries. Britain demanded that elections be held in all three countries about their future. All three held just a few months later in November and favoured the British. By 1934, the March Powers would all be run by right-wing British-favouring political parties. As World War II dawned, the three former colonies would begin to form more loyalty to the Allies. In 1943, the March Powers would reform as "The Liberation" in hopes of joining the newly-gathered United Nations by 1946. Australia would join in 1947 and the others followed. With the Cold War rising, however, Britain began to distance from the March Powers. Britain had recently joined NATO and the threat of the Soviet Union forms a Red Scare-like attitude in the Western countries. As the Soviet Union started to collapse, Sovereignty became more and more apparent. In 1966, the Liberation was abolished and all nations in the former alliance became republics.

After the Cold War, the now alliance-less countries joined NATO (now known as the Democratic Treaty Organisation). Australia, Canada and New Zealand remain republics to this very day.
