The Commonwealth of Albion
Everyone believed that the simple dockworkers strike was just going to blow over, the trade union movement at this time was not organised well enough to actually have an impact nor did they even have the ability to defeat capitalism and the aristocracy in the heartland of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Well they were proved wrong by the workers of the British Isles seeing first dockworkers striking and then the whole country, leading a vacuum that was filled by the unions, socialist political parties and et cetera. The new Commonwealth was a multi-tendency democratic socialist republic focusing on creating a community owned society at home rather than worldwide. It was and still is governed by the Co-operative Congress with the General Council and the National Executive Committee acting as the nation's day to day manager. There is also the honorary position of Common-Chancellor who has limited power and acts as the symbol of the British people.
