Description

One of my favourite maps, the Balkanised UK.

The general idea is a greater outbreak of socialist rebellion in the 60s and 70s leads to the formation of the "Union of the North of England", a socialist republic. Simultaneously cities in the south also revolt, Milton Keynes, Slough and London all form "Free States". The Queen and the Royal Family flee to Scotland which, along with Wales, declares independence. In the south chaos reigns as new independent republics are formed in Wessex, the Midlands and East Anglia, whilst the bits that are left are forced to fend for themselves. Finally, remnants of the government and Nationalist groups form the English Provisional Government centred in Luton.

Overall not particularly realistic, but fun to make. I did have an interesting time wondering what the Overseas Territories and the Royal Navy would do, I gradually settled on Scotland as the "successor state" for the UK, their seizure of Berwick and Northumberland was actually a good thing in the face of the UNE, so they are sort of the good guys.

The lack of a Yorkshire is displeasing.
