United Kingdom

The United Kingdom (abbreviated to the UK) was one of the greater nations of pre-UEE Earth, and was at one time the largest super-power of the world. The UK was at its peak at the start of the Anti-Exodus Era (1860 A.D) being in the middle of the so-called Victorian Era. The UK was until the formation of the UEE one of the most powerful nations of Earth, both in a military and economic sense. It was known as one of the few nations in the world which still had an aristocracy even though it was one of the most democratic nations on Earth.

The United Kingdom controlled at one stage in history the largest empire Earth had ever seen to that point. Over 1/4 of the world's land and population was controlled by the United Kingdom at the entry of the 20th Century A.D. This is the primary reason the English language was so wide-spread across the Earth, and would later spread and become the primary llingua franca across the myriad of populated worlds in Human Space.

The UK military had waned through the ages, but they were still very powerful, having a mighty navy when the UEE was formed. In the years after the start of The Great Exodus, many left the overpopulated UK for the planet of Tyranis, which would later become Aurora and form the centre of the Star Kingdom of Aurora and the Auroran Royal Alliance. Much of the social mores and codes from the early Victorian age in the United Kingdom was later copied by the Aurorans/Tyranians after the introduction of their own aristocracy.
