Politics[]
Prime Ministers[]
2009-2012[]
In the aftermath of the Chernarussian Civil War[1], an unnamed Prime Minister would oversee the deployment of a contingent of British engineers and advisers to the Green Sea region nation of Chernarus.[2]
Working alongside their allies from the Czech Republic, their deployment, scheduled to end in 2012, would be to conduct training exercises and provide aid to regional development programmes in support of the new Chernarussian government.[2]
2012-2013[]
An unnamed Prime Minister authorised the deployment of British forces in support of the UN-mandated, U.S.-led NATO invasion of Takistan.[1]
Following the downfall of the Takistani regime, the government would agree to a troop surge several weeks later. Codenamed Operation Crimson Lance, it would be in support of the NATO alliance's attempts to destroy remnants of the former regime.[1][3][4]
As the UK withdraws from Takistan, the government looks to PMCs to fill the void (2013)

A year later[1], the Prime Minister would oversee the withdrawal of all British forces from Takistan.[5][6] In the wake of their withdrawal, defence White Papers published by their ministry suggested replacing the presence of British troops with private military contractors.[7][8]
20XX-2035[]
The Ramsden ministry's motion to extend the Army's deployment is defeated (2035)
By the early-mid 2030s, Nicholas Ramsden serves as Prime Minister. His government was elected into power after having inherited an economic depression that has continued to blight the UK for almost two decades.[9][10]

His government has attempted to put forward numerous motions to extend the Army's peacekeeping mission on the Republic of Altis and Stratis.[11] All of them have been flatly rejected by an overwhelming majority in the Parliament.[12]
Six weeks after the U.S.-led NATO invasion of Altis, dubbed as the "Altis Incident"[1], the Ramsden ministry would staunchly deny allegations that British special operations were involved in the crisis.[13]
House of Commons[]
At least one MP has been named in the Armaverse:
- Jackson Irvine
- Since the early 2030s, Irvine has been a Member of Parliament for South Shields.[10]
- He is firmly against foreign military interventions. Irvine has vociferously objected to the Ramsden ministry's attempts to renew deployments abroad, arguing that the UK can ill-afford to waste precious capital on pointless shows of "gunboat" diplomacy.[10]
Economy[]
By 2035, an economic depression has blighted the nation's economy for almost two decades.[10][14] As a result, the government has been forced withdraw most of its commitments to curtailing CSAT encroachment in an attempt to focus on domestic issues.[15][16]
Notes[]
