United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, also known as the United Kingdom (UK or U.K) is a Soverign Nation located off the Northwestern Coast of the European Mainland. The United Kingdom includes the Island of Great Britain, the northeastern part of Ireland, and many smaller Islands. Otherwise, the United Kingdom is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east, the English Channel to the south, and the Celtic Sea to the southwest, giving it the 12'th Longest Coastline in the world. The Irish Sea separates Great Britain and Ireland. The Total Area of the United Kingdom is 94,000 miles (240,000 km).
The current version of the United Kingdom was formed in the Constitutional Crisis of 1936. Prime Minister Stanely Baldwin, Parliament, and the Church of England attempted to convince King Edward VIII to abdicate after he intended to marry American divorcee, Wallis Simpson. Edward VIII resisted, and the Middle Class, supportive of the Popular King, began protesting against Parliament, cheering The King at Buckingham Palace, Waving The Royal Banners, Holding Signs stating "God Save the King" and "May he Reign over us". In order to bolster his support, King Edward took a Long Tour of Parts of British India and Africa and then Canada and Australia, promising increased Living Conditions, Lighter Rule, and Equality for Colonial and Dominion Citizens. These Promises increased The Monarchs Popularity Empire Wide. Back in Britain, many Politicians rallied to the King's Cause but isolated the Dominion Governments. Fascist Oswald Mosley, Conservative Winston Churchill, and even Liberal David Lloyd George. Churchill and Lloyd George, along with their Followers, Formed the Royal Conservative Party and Liberal Imperialist Party, and along with The British Union of Fascists, formed the King's Party. Later that week Edward announced that "Having a Morganatic Marriage is unacceptable, and denying his Children to the Crown Unconstitutional. I promise to my people that Wallis will become a Princess, and it is time for the People and Empire to recognize the changes of the World, and repeal the Medival Law of Royalty Only." With that message, people cheered for the King, however, the Government refused to end the Crisis. Henceforth Oswald Mosley organized a March on Westminster with the Blackshirts and Royalist Protestors and began Shouting to the Halls of Parliament. Later a Royalist Mob marched to Downing Street and surrounded the Prime Ministers Building. In the last desperation of Hope, Baldwin called the Army and London Police Force to shut down the Rioters and arrest Mosley, but General Lord Gort refused any action. Seeing his Failures, Baldwin and His Cabinet resigned. After the Resignation, King Edward VIII called for Elections, with the new Loyalist Conservatives and Liberals, gaining a Majority and Forming a Coalition Government, with Sir Winston Churchill becoming Prime Minister. The British Union of Fascists increased its popularity with British Nationalists and the British Peoples Party succeeding the Labour Party as the Major Social Democratic and Socialist Bloc.
