	The '''British Empire''' was formed in 1707 under the Acts of Union, merging the Kingdom of England (which included poor, forgotten annexed Wales) and the Kingdom of Scotland with their respective empires into the United Kingdom. Over the next 200 years, the empire would swell to become the largest overseas empire in history. The empire, while criticized for its colonialism and numerous atrocities committed against its subjects and enemies, is credited for its major role in ending the slave trade, creating and expanding infrastructure throughout Africa and Asia (if to assist in draining of those place's wealth), introducing English as the world’s Lingua Franca, and maintaining international stability across the world. The empire is typically believed to have dissolved in 1997 with the loss of Hong Kong, it being the last major economic and demographic outpost of the United Kingdom outside of Europe. It might no longer be "The empire on which the sun never sets" on account of it no longer being an empire, but if you include its overseas territories (specifically the Pitcairn Islands), the sun still does not set upon the United Kingdom. Vestigial elements of the empire remain through the commonwealth as an economic alliance with some but not all colonial extensions of the late empire as members. Its critics compare it to a tributary system disguised as an association of equals but still Britain has been able to keep its economic autonomy because of it when compared to its neighbors who have become more intensely linked with the european union and NATO.

	Like the [[Roman Empire]], the British variant is often used as a setting in many fantasy games.
