United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland:

 * Goverment:
 * Military:
 * Wars & Conflicts:
 * Operation Ferdinand (January 1st-January 2nd): During 2017 New Year's Eve, 900 troops land in the Danish-owned Faroe Islands along with 10 tanks and seize control over the islands while Faroe's inhabitants are celebrating the New Year (and drunk). Because the British found practically no resistance, the Operation is declared over in the next day with no casualties and the Faroe are annexed into the Kingdom as part of Scotland. Besides of this move, the UK stays out of the so-called Operation Greenville.
 * Operation Greater Greater Tropico (January 20th-February 16th): The third phase of Operation Tropico begins, once again creatively named Greater Greater Tropico. The remaining islands of the lesser Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago are taken over by British troops stationed in Guyana and Anguilla, sucesfully taking all of the lesser Antilles for the UK. However, the operation does not end here, and the fourth and final phase begins in January 30th with the invasion of Suriname. 25,000 troops from Guyana and the mainland are used to invade Suriname along with a couple tanks and AFVs. Because Suriname has a weak military, the British quickly seize the capital and the country capitulates on February 16. Suriname is integrated into the British Territory of Tropico along with the remaining Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago. Suriname now regrets not joining Brazil when they had the chance.
 * Operation Ceylon (November 6th-present): In late 2017, Operation Ceylon is launched as the British Navy departs from BIOT to invade the Maldives. Due to Maldives having weak defence forces, only 2,000 soldiers are deployed to seize the capital. Malé surrenders to British Forces on Nocember 14th and the country capitulates, which results in Maldives becoming a British colony once again. However, the true objective of the Operation begins until November 15th, with the invasion of Sri Lanka. 50,000 troops land in different points of the island and head to the capital, but when British forces reach Colombo in mid December, fierce resistance from the Sri Lankans is found and the war continues until next year. By the end of the year, the UK held around 50% of Sri Lanka's territory.
 * Operation Red Lion (November 11th-December 2nd):
 * Operation Kiwi (January 3rd-present): Plans for making a coup against New Zealand and establish a pro-British goverment to basically turn NZ into a colony begin. However, in order to increase chances of succes, the UK will take multiple years to prepare the coup, and for now only early stages of the plan are done.

 * Demographics:
 * Diplomacy:
 * New Zealand: The UK guarantees their independence for no particular reason.
 * Japan & China: The UK supports the Japanese in the diplomatic conflict regarding a hacked satellite. When tensions begin to escalate, the UK creates an anti-PRC coalition to aid the Japanese in a hypothethical war. However, after the PRC agreed on ceding Hong Kong to the British, the UK withdrew from such coalition but will still aid Japan if war breaks out.
