 The most common arrangement for the group was with Itsame12 as in-game nation leader, but Jonathan as the de facto chief, directing grand strategy and diplomacy. Itsame was the sole leader in i31, [[Boyarsky]] led the group in i32, and Jonathan led for the last time in i34. The most common arrangement for the group was with Itsame12 as in-game nation leader, but Jonathan as the de facto chief, directing grand strategy and diplomacy.

 On [[Yugo Wars]], the group played as Croatia, again in opposition to their Filicraft rival Serbia, led by [[Stryker]]. On this server, they merged with the former Filicraft Chilean group led by [[Luepola]], who played as the [[wp>Croatian Defence Council|HVO]] on the town of Mostar. The main Croatian towns were Zagreb (led by Itsame) and Split (led by Jonathan). An attempt to ally with the Italians (former partner of the British as Cuba on Filicraft) failed and so Croatia allied with Serbia and a coalition of others to invade Macedonia. On [[Yugo Wars]], the group played as Croatia, again in opposition to their Filicraft rival Serbia, led by [[Stryker]].

 On [[Middle East]], the group chose to play as Egypt. Jonathan split off to play as Iraq with Myron_N_Gaines and some others, however remained in the Egyptian leadership channels and the two nations shared a foreign policy. Egypt constructed a large Pyramid base in Cairo, and launched it to space with Yakubian rocket technology.((https://intcraft.wordpress.com/2020/02/21/cairo-we-have-liftoff/)) The iteration was also the first appearance of officer [[Rurik]]'s subgroup of Civcraft players, who played as an Egyptian client state PLO. On [[Middle East]], the group chose to play as Egypt.

 Originally, the group wanted to play as Great Britain again on [[i32]], but both Jonathan and Itsame were doomered about leading. Leadership was taken over by one of the group's officers, [[Boyarsky]], on the condition that they switch to playing Russia. Originally, the group wanted to play as Great Britain again on [[i32]], but both Jonathan and Itsame were doomered about leading.

 +The British returned to Britain in their final iteration, [[World War 1]], with Jonathan again as leader and a surge of new recruitment. London, the capital, was formed by the core of the group. Melbourne, the second-largest town, was led by Rurik. Delhi was occupied by an outside group from Filicraft. The strategic ports of Gibraltar and Suez were led by [[luepola|Luey]] (possibly the second-most important man in the Empire) and Monsieur_Joyeux, respectively. Other towns were Aden, Singapore, and Wellington. Judea (Jerusalem) was originally an independent newfag group, but they also joined the British nation. The British nation was the largest on the server, and grew to become possibly the largest ever on any /int/craft, peaking at over 130 players, although some of these were alts. 
 + 
 +In the Scramble for Africa, the British suffered embarrassing losses to [[TheSpookyBone]]'s Serbia group. They reformed their military strength and eventually ruled over all the disputed zone by the Africa contest's end. However, the diplomatic situation was poor, as their only ally was the malignant Norse, who were the target of a server-wide coalition. A British-Serbian truce failed to be reached. The situation was saved when Germany switched sides and allied Norse Kalmar and the British, possibly saving the Empire from imminent destruction. 
 + 
 +Over three war days, the British defeated the Byzantines and their allies in Africa, in Gibraltar (multiple times), in Spain, in England, in Syria, in Turkey, and in Iran. The war ended with the British massively up on territory and holding hegemony over the Middle East. Having achieved all their objectives and not willing to risk more, they signed a truce with Serbia and with France for the final week. On the second war day, British also fought a colonial scuffle with the Dutch over Singapore, which ended in a minor Dutch victory. On the final war day, many Brits volunteered to join Germany, and some went to Kalmar. 
 + 
 +i34 was the zenith of the British group's strength and success, though with much contribution from non-core members (like [[VivianJames]] and [[Onions]]) and lieged subgroups (like Delhi, Aden, and Judea) who never really had a chance to assimilate. The British Commonwealth ended the server with the highest number of territories of any nation, by far.

 +===== Dissolution ===== 
 + 
 +After i34, all the core members except Rurik felt done with /int/craft. The group was officially disbanded in a Discord announcement, although remnants and subgroups went on to play on successive servers.

 +===== Last vestiges ===== 
 + 
 +On Epochcraft 2, the small nation of Illyria was led by Jonathan, and Itsame was also a member. 
 + 
 +On [[i36]], the nation of Portugal was led by ex-British officer Luey, and many former members played as well, including Jonathan, Itsame, and LordRustyFord.

 When the group began, they consisted of a random assortment of members, few of whom previously knew each other or played /int/craft before. Despite this, they would go on to stick together and become a [[metagroups|metagroup]]. They were one of the few successful metagroups in /int/craft history to be formed this way, especially in modern times, and Britain on i28 was possibly the last major, successful nation that was formed by neither a preexisting group or by veteran players who already knew each other. When the group began, they consisted of a random assortment of members, few of whom previously knew each other or played /int/craft before.

-Despite the actual group's disbandment and fading into history, many of its members became some of the most influential members of /int/craft since i28, and even some of the most influential members in all its history. [[Xethyr]], who was a core member from i28 to i31, developed the [[Nodes]] plugin and hosted the hugely-successful World War 1 and World War 2 iterations. [[Razzmus]] was an admin of i35, and [[Rurik]] was the host of i36. [[Boyarsky]] was a janny of i33 (Epochcraft 1) and Epochcrafts 2 and 3. [[luepola|Luey]] was a janny on [[i37]]. Jonathan himself was a long-time assistant to hosts Onions and Xeth, jannying on i30, i31, i32, i34, and i38, as well as being one of the chief writers on the [[wordpress|blog]].+Despite the actual group's disbandment and fading into history, many of its members became some of the most influential members of /int/craft since i28, and even some of the most influential members in all its history.
