Description

The Commonwealth of York is British Rump state that Occupies a large Part of Great Britain.
It was established in 2040  and has been the main political power to restore the United Kingdom.
It is currently led by the Lord Protector Ezekiel Masterson (Grand Master of the Order of St. George) and Archbishop Tiberius Longley.
Its has three Capitals: Pennminster is the Military and Political Capital of the Commonwealth (Housing the Executive Branch and the Headquarters of the Order of St. George), York is the Religious Capital (Housing the Archbishop and the Cathedral of St. Peter), and Edinburgh being the Royal Capital (Housing Edinburgh Castle the Current Royal Residence of the Future Monarchy).
London is the Commonwealth's Spiritual Capital.


Foundation: In 2025 the world was struck by a severe economic collapse due to the emergence of the Second American Civil War. Due to the economic collapse severe famine and war plague the world. Impoverished nations collapse into their Ethnic Communities while Western States Struggle to keep together.
The United Kingdom was one such Nation that struggled immensely. A Provisional Government was established in 2026 after the Uprising of London. Led by a committee of Senior Officials, Provisional Government attempted to stablise the situation. But gradual they were faced with further challenges, when other Major cities like Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, and Birmingham had similar uprising, and regions like Wales, and Scotland attempted to Secede from the Union. To the dismay of many officers with in the Military, the Provisional Government attempted to play a policy of appeasement. Further failures were the rejection of the United Anglican Communion, which was a movement to unify the Christian Churches of the UK under a united banner, as a means to combat the Social ills of what remained of the country.
This eventually led to the 2040 Coup d'etat, where Brigadier Felix Chancellor (The Then Grand Master of the Order of Saint George), overthrew the Provisional Government, and attempted to establish a Theocratic-Militarist Government with goal of reuniting the country from secessionists, infidels, and socialists.


Politics: Though the Commonwealth is co-led by the Archbishop of the UAC and the Grand Master of the Order of St. George, the government still has a Division of Power structure.
The Legislature, which is house in York Castle, is called the Grand Council of York. Unlike the Parliament of Olde, the Grand Council of York is led by a mostly appointed class of representatives, they're the Bishops, and the Knights. 
The Bishops are mostly that of the United Anglican Communion, but also include Hindu, Jewish, and Sikh representatives.
The Knights are comprised of many representatives of different Orders within the Commonwealth. The Order of St. George make the largest group, with other Orders like the Loyal Orange Order (Scotland), the New order of Hospitallers of St Thomas of Canterbury, the Chivalric Order of St. John, the Sovereign Order of Hospitallers of St. Wulfstan, and the Royal order of Knights-Errant of Alfred the Great.
The Executive branch, which is housed at the Castle of Pennminster, is a united council of appointed ministers from both the Archbishop and Lord Protector. These Ministers perform the essential tasks of administrating the state.
The Judicial Branch is mostly comprised of appointed Justices that ensure that the current state is following within the 2040 Restoration of the Union Proclamation, with the goals of re-establishing the Constitutional Monarchy of the United Kingdom, with a Democratically Elected Parliament as prior to the 2025 Global Collapse.


Military and Industry: With the collapse the majority of Economic norms were utterly destroyed, with trade being mostly controlled by Unalligned Free Merchants. To compensate for this lack of Trade, the Commonwealth re-established a mining industry in an attempt to improve their capabilities and capacity to complete their restorational goal.
Though with this new policy, the Military suffered greatly, with the complete disestablishment of an Armoured Corp within their Military. Having such machines being repurposed for industry or recycled into the Orders as Mechanised vehicles. The Airforce was also greatly reduced with most of the aircraft being recycled into more economical aircraft which number 20 Multirole Aircraft, 10 Transport and 30 Helicopters. Which fortunately still gives them an edge over their adversaries who are equally or more so incapable of housing an airforce.
The core of the Military is run by Orders the Largest of which is the Order of St. George who are Headquartered in Pennminster and Commanded by Grand Master Ezekiel Masterson, who have a fighting force of 150,000 Men-at-Arms, and housing Mechanised corps of 250 IFVs and 100 APCs, and 10,000 Motorised vehicles.
The Order of Orange who are headquarter in Edinburgh and Commanded by Grand Master Eoghan Macbay, who have a fighting force of 20,000 Men-at-Arms, and housing a small Mechanised corps of 50 IFVs and 10 APCs, and 100 Motorised.
The New Order of St. Thomas of Canterbury who are spiritually Headquartered in Canterbury (De Facto York) and commanded by Grand Master Thomas Freeman, who have a fighting force of 5,000 Men-at-Arms, with no Mechanised corps but 1000 motorised vehicles. Unlike the others, the New Order of St. Thomas of Canterbury are mostly focus on providing aid to the citizenry.

I hope to develop this world further and provide more interesting ideas.
