United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is an Island nation off of the coast of Europe and a member of the Toronto Accord.

History
The British Empire joined the war with France after the invasion of Poland in hopes of defeating the German Reich once and for all. However, not only would French and Polish allies fall to the hands of the Gestapo, but all of Europe would. The British were forced into an armistice when the British Expeditionary Force was wiped out and captured by the Germans at Dunkirk.

The Anglo-German Armistice of 1940 led to massive political ramifications across not only Britain, but its empire.

When The Pacific War broke out, the Japanese invaded Malaya and Burma, being beaten back by the combined efforts of the Commonwealth and the United States.

After the war, there were a series of revolts in the British Raj, where a hasty withdrawal from the Subcontinent led to the colony being broken up into a series of independent states at war with each other.

Politics
The former dominions, let alone the world, see Britain as a shadow of its former self, and this was only proven with the British withdrawal from India which led to the entire subcontinent collapsing into multiple independent states. the country has lost nearly all it's influence on the world stage to American and German spheres.

Economy
Formerly the "Workshop of the World", Britain's economic influence in the world has pretty much collapsed due to the fact they are no longer seen by investors as a place worth investing in. Due to this, Britain is undergoing not-so-good economic stagnation.

Military
After the failure at Dunkirk, Britain's military is in the same position as it was after the First World War: Battered, bruised and not as respected as it once was.

Army
The recent history of the British Army is not a glorious one. The catastrophic defeat of the Anglo-French forces to the Germans in the war of 1940 still lives on in the memories of the army planners over a decade later. The disaster at Dunkirk, where most of the British Expeditionary Force fell into captivity after encirclement, haunts the army to this day. Beyond that, Britain's land forces have a lack of experience, having only taken part in a relatively small capacity in the war against Japan compeared to their American allies. However, while the ground forces have never traditionally been the core of the British armed forces, necessity has expanded them. Conscription remains in place and the army remains on alert in case the delicate Anglo-German armistice is broken and invasion happens to turn the British army into a modern, effective fighting force, though will take time, effort, and resources.

Royal Navy
The Royal Navy was once the undisputed ruler of the waves. Currently still large enough to guard the channel and it's shores from any German invasion, but many of its ships are old and the fleet as a whole is in need of reforms and modernisation.
