The British Isle Community (BIC) was a political and economic union between the nations of the British isles. Throughout its entire existence, it consisted of three members - the United Kingdom, Scotland and Ireland.
The union was formed in late 2015 after the secession of Scotland from the United Kingdom in order to secure connections between the nations of the British isles. Unlike the Germanic and Latin Leagues, it wasn't based on any type of ethnics or languages but for cooperation between the three countries. It had strong collaborations with its western Europe counterpart, the Latin League.
On 10 August 2022, with the signing of the Paris Agreement, the British Isle Community was merged along with the Latin League and Balkan League into the European Union.
