Does it matter?

The map still says "United Kingdom", yet 'arry 'uckkers is int the process of disassembly.

The Welsh airforce can keep the training stuff I guess but might mind bombing on one of their few bits of turf. Scotland is a new nuke power, excellent, nothing ever went wrong with strong drink and nukes. Isle of wright lays down a SOSUS array across the Solent to keep the pride of the English navy at bay, HMS Holland, last seen at Gosport. HMS Belfast raises a head of steam to venture out to keep the scots part of the Union, but DEPRA nails a writ to the foremast, for excessive particulates. The quartermaster's bowels loosened at the thought of QCB with PS Maid of the Loch, armed with haggis, scotch and fearful noisemakers. The bowel incident resulted in a further environmental regs penalty for discharge within the 3-mile limit, and much derision from the triumphant scots. Sadly, the scots knew that they still had to go back and live in Scotland, the reason for drink. Isle of Mann joined forces with Guernsey, and blockaded Isle of Wright and the perfidious Englanders, by the cunning method of reporting the actual coastal forecast, leading to shipping chaos, and a collapse of all logistics other than Harrods, who maintained their prestigious place in service to the crown, or half-crown, as it was now known. Harrods bottom line was improved immeasurably by the crowning of the King of Wales, who on coming out o the closet, was then coronated again as the Queen of Wales, to great joy from royalty fans in San Francisco. Rio collapsed on the realization of the competition mardi gras now had with the LGBTQ-XZ parade at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Oops, sorry, not sure if that was "spelt rite" or the cat went walkabout on my keyboard. The RAF now named the 'EAF based out of Duxford continued to work on getting black 6 back in front line order, but DBenz was only prepared to sell them spares that would fit the Mini Clubman turbo motor. The surplus aircraft were sold off, a C17 here, a MRTT there, the Tornadoes were turned down by Nigeria, who considered they already had enough chicken coops. The Typhoons, were subsequently found in the Iraqi desert, interspersed with MiG-23s and -29's. The remainder of the former RN was sold off to shipbreakers north of Mumbai, except for one carrier that was taken aboard by the Swiss, and used as a floating amphitheatre for the reformed ABBA group. It was considered to be a non-combatant ship. The army was able to fill their retirement funds by selling the challengers to Burundi, and the ammo to the French. A profitable enterprise, resulting in a remake of Catch-22 with the disclosure of the PM's son being the chairman of the intermediary company, called M & M Enterprises, Ltd. Providors to the Queen. The Army was disappointed that the IRA, refused the Enfield L85A1's considering them to be a trojan horse ploy.

Yup, at this point, the services combined, and all lived happily ever after. England, however, went bankrupt, having to pay for the change to the tourist maps n all, and then finding that the tourists and the city had taken the hint and departed the fix post haste.

At least the former United Kingdom didn't have to pay the EU for anything, they were now part of the updated moniker of disaster, PIGSUK.

Those were the days.
