United Kingdom

A country in Western Europe that used the mechanisms of democracy to effectively bankrupt itself in the summer of 2016.

History
The United Kingdom up to the early twenty-first century consisted of the combined nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, although that is subject to revision. The island country developed over thousands of years, creating a rich, multi-cultural society through constantly being invaded by Romans, Vikings, French and Spanish hostile forces, and ultimately by itself bounding around the planet annexing land in every continent it possibly could, redistributing global people via slavery and separation under a strategy known as 'divide and conquer'. For this reason, nearly every country in the world hates the UK. It even managed to spit in the face of its largest ally, the United States, after a public referendum resulted in separationist policies that trounced over global trade agreements and led to the fracturing of the largest international trade co-operative in the world. The referendum, held on June 23rd 2016 on the question of 'Should the UK remain in the EU' saw swathes of ill-informed, disgruntled fantasists believe an array of lying toad politicians that promised them a better future, only for them to dump any promises after the vote saw the motion to 'Leave' carried. It left the country without any ability to trade with the largest market in the world, and since it had no natural resources, its banking and service industries would no longer be able to operate, given its new isolationist stance on internationalism.
