Britain

Britain is a colloquialism for the constituent parts of the former nation of the United Kingdom.

History
In the 18th and 19th-centuries, British colonies began to diverge from Britain itself, in one case leading to war. During World War II, the British managed to crack a German code.

In the 22nd-century, the Houses of Parliament were destroyed in an act of domestic terrorism.

Status as of 26th-century
By the 26th-century, the island of Iona, was part of the North Atlantic Protectorate. Following the Human-Covenant War, a collection of photographs by Jake Courage toured Britain.
