Azazia

The United Kingdom of Azazia is a country found in the Pacific Ocean belonging to The Free Commerce and Trade Association of Democratic Nations (FCTADN), the New Alliance Treaty Organization (NATO), the Imperial Confederacy, and The Alliance of Pure Research and Engineering States (TAPRES). Commonly referred to as the United Kingdom, the UK, or the UKA, it is often mistakenly called Azazia, which is the name of the indigenous nation that existed before European colonization and the archipelago where said people and most people in the UK reside – though certainly not all. The United Kingdom consists of eighteen Republics, former states that agreed to form the United Kingdom. Two of the Republics are not located within the Home Islands, or the islands of Azazia. These are the Republics of Juristan and the Republic of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Additionally, there are several overseas colonies of the United Kingdom not on the same scale of republics on political, social, and economic levels.

The United Kingdom of Azazia was formally constituted several months ago in act of Parliament called the Empire Act, which formally changed the prior Commonwealth into a “liberal empire” with the intent of spreading peace and prosperity to the Pacific Rim. Before the Empire Act, the United Kingdom was known as the Commonwealth of Azazia, a much looser affiliation of the republics governed by a more executively styled emperor, who could theoretically reign without the consult of Parliament. Being a relatively brief time ago, many find this constitutional sea change confusing, for example as the currency is still the Commonwealth Credit despite the disbanding of the Commonwealth. However, Parliament does maintain now that the principles of the United Kingdom expressed under the Empire Act have been the guiding principles of all previous states on the Azazian Archipelago.
