 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 MrHappy, 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 seen on /int/craft, peaking at over 130 players, although some of these were alts.+//See also: [[world_war_1#British-Byzantine War]] and [[world_war_1#British-Dutch War]]//
  
-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 was brokered by France; while Jonathan initially agreed, it was not ratified by the British council, and subsequent negotiation by Luey went nowhere. Thus, Britain was going to war with Serbia, and possibly the rest of the coalition, on the first war day. The situation was saved when Germany switched sides and allied Norse Kalmar and the British, possibly saving the Empire from imminent destruction.+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.
  
-Just before the first war window, the Ottomans, hitherto a British ally, merged nations with the Serbians in what was viewed by the British as a great betrayal. During the war, the British conquered the remainder of Serbian Africa including the Serbian town of Paraitonion, and the Ottoman town of Damascus. They then reenacted history and launched an amphibious invasion of Gallipoli, which was defeated after 2 hours, but still succeeded in the strategic aim of drawing the Serbians off of Germany, which may have averted the fall of Berlin. The first war still ended in celebration for the British, as they had survived with their Empire intact, and in fact gained a great amount of territory from their enemy.+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.
  
-In the second war day, the Serbians (now Byzantines) hired Swiss mercenaries, shifting the balance of power in their favor. The British also had a lower turnout (a roughly even 25v25 now for Sunday, as compared to 30v20 on Saturday). Except for some backclaiming attempts by the Serbians, the second war was fought almost entirely in Syria and Lebanon. The enemy came just chunks away from recapturing Damascus, but the British turned around the situation and, by the war's end, were counter-pushing deep into northern Syria. Also on this day, the Dutch randomly attacked British Singapore, but the garrison of [[VivianJames]] and Xethyr held; the war ended in a draw, but Dutch gained 2 or 3 provinces.+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.
  
-In the third war day, the British defeated the Byzantines and their allies 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 so, having achieved all their objectives and not willing to risk more, signed a truce with Serbia and with France. On the final war day, many Brits volunteered to help 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.

 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 i28, 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.
