Queen Victoria, Leader of the Anglican Empire
The first of the terrestrial governments into the Caeliverse, the Anglican Empire is the most powerful trans-world government claiming almost three dozen planetary colonies outright, and have a administering presence on several dozen more. The eminent Queen Victoria has presided over the Empire ever since formal expansion began in the late 1830’s and is the very definition of the expansionist age.
Originating as the Earth bound island nation of Britain, the Anglicans were the first into the fold, and immediately brought their pervasive institutional aptitude for exploration, colonization and trade, setting a robust foundation for their role as the prime power in the Caeliverse. Augmenting their expansion with the stoutest air fleet of any of the governments, the Anglicans have a determined resolution to maintain their empire by all means necessary. This position has inevitably lead to a variety of conflicts with other major powers, each moving through the Caeliverse to make claims of their own. Their strongest political ties have been with the Federation, having similar cultural origins and existing robust diplomacy machine. Additionally, after Civil war broke out within the Federation, the Anglicans were one of the first to embrace the Confederation, a traditional regional supplier to their factories of raw materials.
By far the most adversarial relations has been with the Republic, with each nation confronting one another at almost every turn. This has lead to hundreds of minor skirmishes, dozens of small scale conflicts, all culminating in a current, far flung war that rages across dozens of world in the Caeliverse.
