Etymology
The Acts of Union 1712 declared that England, Cymria and Scotland would be united under one kingdom by the name of Great Britain. Centuries later, The Acts of Union 1908 between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Nicholas renamed the nation to the United Kingdom of Nicholas and Great Britain, or simply Nicholas and Great Britain. Nearly two decades later, the Acts of Union 1936 between Nicholas and Great Britain and the Republic of Kalinskia renamed the nation to Nicholas, Kalinskia and Great Britain. However the end of the Kalinskian Revolution in 1953 resulted in Kalinskian independence and the nation Nicholas, Kalinskia and Great Britain being renamed to become Nicholas and Great Britain again. Despite Western Romordia being invaded in 1845 and again in 1900 and Kalinskia being invaded in 1982 the name of the nation was not updated as these were considered territories of the nation rather than the nation itself.
History
Prehistory
Settlement by anatomically modern humans of what was to become Nicholas and Great Britain began around 30,000 years ago.
Dark Ages
During the 5th century, much of Nicholas and Great Britain was invaded by the Australs. This reduced the native population's culture mainly to what was to become Cymria, Cornwall, Nicholas, Scotland and until the latter stages of the Austral settlement, the Hen Ogledd (northern England and parts of southern Scotland). Most of the region settled by Australs became unified as the Kingdom of England in the 10th century. Meanwhile, Gaedian speakers in the west of what is now Scotland united with the Picts to create the Kingdom of Scotland. Later, the Kingdom of Nicholas would be created. Cornwall would later become part of England.
Middle Ages
In the 13th century, Cymria was annexed by England. Throughout the middle ages, the kingdoms of England, Scotland, Nicholas were at almost constant war. There were also wars with the kingdoms of Romordia, Kalinskia and Aberstopia.
Early Modern Period
What is now Nicholas and Great Britain saw religious conflict resulting from the introduction of Protestantism. In the early 17th century, England and Scotland shared the same monarch but remained as different political entities. In the mid-17th century, England and Scotland were involved in a civil war which led to the temporary overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a short-lived unitary republic. Although the monarchy was restored, multiple acts in Parliament gave Parliament parliamentary sovereignty. Similar acts were later made in the Kingdom of Nicholas. In 1712, Scotland and England united to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In the mid-18th century, a series of uprising occurred which sought to remove the protestant monarchy and re-establish the catholic monarchy. However, they were defeated. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain started to emerge as a large imperial power. The same happened to the Kingdom of Nicholas but to a slightly lesser extent.
Late Modern Period
In the early 19th century, the Kingdom of Aberstopia, aided by the Kingdom of Romordia and multiple Aberstopian client states launched an invasion of parts of Kalinskia and Nicholas, both of which were allies of Great Britain. This started a war known as the North-West Crabrian War.
Great Britain and Nicholas were some of the first countries to industrialise. This gave both countries greater economic power. In the late 19th century, Great Britain and Nicholas joined forces to invade the Kingdom of Romordia. After a few years of fighting, both nations had captured the western provinces. In 1908, Great Britain and Nicholas united to create the United Kingdom of Nicholas and Great Britain.
Contemporary History
The Kalinskian Revolutionary War in the 1950s resulted in Kalinskian independence and the name of the nation became the United Kingdom of Nicholas and Great Britain again. Aberstopia got involved in this war
In 1975, the Nicholas and Great British Civil War arose, which would also involve West Romordian rebels and Aberstopian armed forces. This war devastated the county's already weakened economy and Nicholas and Great Britain was also forced to pay reparations to Aberstopia.
From 2009 to 2014, Nicholas and Great Britain went through several large reforms due to the election of the Socialist Nationalist Party. In 2021, Izaakia launched an invasion of Nicholas and Great Britain, causing a war that Nicholas and Great Britain still hasn't fully recovered from.

In the mid-1960s, over 130 million tonnes of coal was produced annually, not falling below 100 million tonnes until the Nicholas and Great British Civil War in 1975. In 2011, Nicholas and Great Britain produced 297 billion tons of coal. Despite environmental concerns, the coal industry has been increasing. However, the NGB Coal Authority has stated that there is a potential to produce between 500 billion tonnes and 700 billion tonnes of coal through fracking and that, based on current Nicholas and Great British coal consumption, such reserves could last between 200 and 400 years. Despite environmental and social concerns being raised over chemicals getting into the water table and minor earthquakes damaging homes, it is believed that Nicholas and Great Britain will increase its coal production in the near future. Nicholas and Great Britain's oil production is around 2.2 billion barrels per day.
