The United Commonwealth of British Nations (UCBN), commonly known as the British Commonwealth, or just as the Commonwealth, was a transcontinental state that spanned in the British Isles, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and Africa. The country existed between 1885 and 1993, and it was defined as a confederation of multiple states with devolved governments until its final years. Its capital and most populous city was London. Despite being succeeded by Great Britain, Ireland, Columbia, Australia, New Zealand, Patagonia, and South Africa, many other countries which were dominions seceded before the dissolution, such as India (multiple princely states before then) and Sunda.
The roots for the British Commonwealth were influenced by the Articles of Confederation which established the brief United States, with a weak central government and preserving the sovereignty of the states. Initially, the Commonwealth was represented by Great Britain, Columbia, Egypt, and the Indian princely states. Other territories would be admitted as dominions, such as Australia (1901), New Zealand (1907), South Africa (1910), and Patagonia (1931). Ireland would become a dominion in 1922. India left with the proclamation of the People's Republic in 1949 and Egypt after the revolution of 1952.
Despite several problems throughout its history, the UCBN managed to emerge as a superpower after the World War II to counterbalance the influence of Germany during the Cold War, competing in the Space Race, culminating in the 1969 spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. The Civil rights movement against South African apartheid resulted in the ban of all discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment practices, ended unequal application of voter registration requirements, and prohibited racial segregation in public accommodations.
With the rise of nationalism between the late 1970s and 1980s breaking out in many dominions, as well as because of its size and distant territories, the British Commonwealth started to decline until its eventual dissolution between 1989 and 1993, with independence referendums being held in almost every dominion. The remaining states carried the Commonwealth until 1993, when the Parliament decided to dissolve the federation, and grant autonomy and sovereignty to each dominion, with King Victor remaining as the head of state, effectively dismantling the remaining structures in 25 December 1993.
