Holy Britannian Empire

Britannia is an old nation, forged in fire and carried on by the resolve of its people. Ever since its founding by the old English tribes the Fatherland has been faced with powerful enemies, from the ancient Roman Empire to the French Emperor Napoleon. It has had its ups and downs, even facing extinction during the Napoleonic Wars, when Empress Elizabeth was forced to flee the true homeland. It has even faced threats from within, as the Emblem of Blood era did not end very long ago. Yet it has not only survived, but thrived! The fact that Britannia even exists at all is a testament to its will and ultimate supremacy. But what else could be expected of the nation that conquered one third of the world?

In the present, Britannia under Emperor Charles enjoys almost god-like dominance over the other superpowers. The EU is weak, and the Chinese Federation is too cowardly to dare fight the Empire. Its people are thriving due to the wealth brought in from the Areas, and are willing to bear arms if the need should arise. Its military is the most advanced in the world, able to count on both sheer vastness and unrivaled strength along with some of the most brilliant military minds of the age. This power and wealth are obtained through the oppression of millions, but surely it is only natural? After all, the numbers live to serve; such is the destiny of all Non-Britannians.

However, just because Britannia is the most powerful nation on the planet does not mean it is invincible. Its war machine is massive, and therefore expensive. Other nations such as Japan have used this to their advantage as the small country's mercantilist policies have nearly crippled Britannia, and action must be taken. Perhaps the far off island nation could be made the latest Area, such is its place. After all, only Britannia is worthy enough to hold and manage over 70% of the world's Sakuradite. It would also provide the perfect opportunity to showcase Britannia's newest weapon, the Knightmare frame, a true embodiment of Britannian might and superiority.

This is not without risk. Britannia's attitude has appeared multiple times in its diplomacy, and its heavy handedness has offended many. Yes, the Europeans do not have the strength necessary, and the Chinese are afraid, but these can only go so far as both nations have lines that are not to be crossed; invading the largest bastion of Sakuradite which drives every modern military and economy is one of them. Given time, they could become genuine threats. An invasion of Japan must be handled with great skill and care so as not to provoke the other Superpowers. This would undoubtedly mean distributing the Sakuradite among other things, but perhaps that is necessary, so long as it means that the Empire no longer has to tolerate the upstart island's actions. Such are the challenges that face Charles Zi Britannia, Ninety-eighth Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire.

Author's Note: I got this idea while playing Empire and Napoleon Total War. If you've played those games, you should understand where I'm coming from with this. I plan to do a few more of these, naturally on the EU and China, and maybe Japan and the Black Knights.

Anyway, please tell me how I did.

Til next time

P.S.: This was typed up while listening to intro for Napoleon Total War

Edit: I went back and fixed a rather silly mistake on my part. Charles is the ninety-eighth emperor not the ninety-ninth.
