Britain
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
 A snow covered Scotland. [1]Britain[2][3] is a colloquialism for the constituent parts of the former nation[4] of the United Kingdom.
The descriptor for people from the area are referred to as British.[2]
History[edit]
In the 18th and 19th-centuries, British colonies began to diverge from Britain itself, in one case leading to war.[5] At some point, the British constructed a training and refueling base on Diego Garcia due to the island's position near India, Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Africa.[6] During World War II, the British managed to crack a German code.[7]
In the 22nd-century, the Houses of Parliament were destroyed in an act of domestic terrorism.[4]
Status as of 26th-century[edit]
By the 26th-century, the island of Iona, was part of the North Atlantic Protectorate.[4] As well, the cities of London and Edinburgh were a part of the European Union.[6] Following the Human-Covenant War, a collection of photographs by Jake Courage toured Britain.[2][3]
