Etymology

The Acts of Union 1712 declared that England, Wales 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.
