When the Americans started exploring, the Sun Never Sets On The British Empire and today, they're just an island nation with quaint politics and America's strongest Ally. By the 25th Century, Vulcan is pretty isolationist.


Oh thanks a lot! [Smile]

Anyway, we may be an "island nation" with "quaint politics", but we still have the world's fifth largest economy and the best-trained armed forces in the world. [Smile]

Fourth largest, isn't it? Also we still have Gibralter and the Falklands and several other small islands!!! The Empire lives!!!

I think the US, Japan, Germany and France are bigger, but I could be wrong.

And technically the Empire never existed in the first place, as the King/Queen was only Emperor/Empress of India. [Smile]
