United Empire of Britannia (Long Live The Republic)

The United Empire of Britannia, also referred to as simply the United Empire or Britannia, was a sovereign state in western Europe which consisted of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland along with its overseas colonies. The United Empire was established on 3 February 1731 when Luke Ascelon, one of the nation's most celebrated military heroes was proclaimed Emperor of Britannia, ending the United Commonwealth and restoring the monarchy for a second time. Though he was able to secure public support for his rule for nearly two decades, after several military defeats in mainland Europe and the loss of North America to the United States of America and Australia in their revolutions, the empire fell into civil war which ended with Luke's execution. The child empress Sophia ruled for only a few weeks after which the monarchy was abolished again, this time permanently.
