King: George V

Prime Minister: Stanley Badwin


 * Many technological advances occur here in Great Britain during this year, I don't really know how to explain it but just imagine that you can create a Game&Watch during the 20's.


 * Yes, OTO will be like a combination of NATO, the EU and the Entente, basically a club for the real gang member homies.


 * Another really big trend is Oatmeal, it has been around for ages but it has recently been starting to take off really quicly in Great Britain.


 * We're now the 2nd largest economy in the entire world behind the USA and we'll decide to keep it that way.


 * We invest more in military and we recruit over 10 million people to fight for our country, we're dominant in naval forces and third place in ground forces.​


 * King George V decides to visit countries again, this time he visits Peru, USA, Germany and all of the countries in the Arab Peninsula.


 * The government decides to help Jabal Shammar by supplying them with food and weapons, we also send our military men to fight in the Arabian Peninsula, we'll come to an agreement with Jabal Shammar but we're pretty suspicious about them.


 * Racism levels are low and are on the decline, so maybe there will be no racism soon, who knows.


 * Agrees to sell Pacific Islands to the US, we're very late to the response but we were busy and didn't get their request in an earlier time.


 * Invests in the British Raj and  South Africa, by the way since British Raj is controlled by another player then we not improve ties with them? If they want, they can gain  independence.


 * Agrees to Turkey's request, you can annex the Turkish part of Cyprus as long as you don't do any atrocities with them.


 * We decide to give our worldwide colonies more freedom.


 * Since we haven't talked a lot about politics in Britain's turns, the Liberal Party collapsed and the Labour Party became the main challenger to the dominant Conservative Party, we also don't think that communism is gonna work and we get a bad feeling about it so when it comes to red politics, Social Democracy is fine.


 * Historian Arthur Marwick sees a radical transformation of British society resulting from the Great War, a deluge that swept away many old attitudes and brought in a more egalitarian society. He sees the famous literary pessimism of the 1920s as misplaced, arguing there were major positive long-term consequences of the war to British society. He points to an energized self-consciousness among workers that quickly built up the Labour Party, the coming of partial women's suffrage, and an acceleration of social reform and state control of the economy. He sees a decline of deference toward the aristocracy and established authority in general, and the weakening among youth of traditional restraints on individual moral behaviour. The chaperone faded away; village chemists sold contraceptives. Marwick says that class distinctions softened, national cohesion increased, and British society became more equal.


 * Although the overall population was growing steadily, and the Catholic membership was keeping pace, the Protestants were slipping behind. Out of 30–50 million adults, they dropped slowly from 5.7 million members in 1920, and 5.4 million in 1940, to 4.3 million in 1970. The Church of England decline was parallel. Methodism, the largest of the Nonconformist churches reached a peak of 841,000 members in Great Britain in 1910, slipped to 802,000 in 1920, 792,000 in 1940 729,000 in 1960, and 488,000 in 1980. The Nonconformists had built a strong base In industrial districts that specialized in mining textiles agriculture and fishing; those were declining industries, who share of the total male workforce Was in steady decline, from 21 percent in 1921 to 13 percent in 1951. As the families migrated to southern England, or to the suburbs, they often lost contact with their childhood religion. The political reverberations were most serious for the Liberal Party, which was largely based in the nonconformist community, and which rapidly lost membership in the 1920s as its leadership quarreled, the Irish Catholics and many from the working-class moved to the Labour Party, and part of the middle class moved to the Conservative party. tl;dr: There's a slow decline in religiosity.
