East Britain was formed in 1984 when Bourne hadn’t had contact with the rest of Lincolnshire for six months since Doomsday. The Bourne District Council seized control of Bourne’s main industries, set up the ‘State Guardsmen’ and set up special camps for refugees coming in from the nearby hamlets. Since half of Lincolnshire was nuclear wasteland and not knowing what the condition in the rest of the country was like, the Bourne District Council changed its name to the East Britain National Council and declared Bourne and the surrounding areas the Provisional State of East Britain.

  • East Britain was formed in 1984 when Bourne hadn’t had contact with the rest of Lincolnshire for six months since Doomsday. The Bourne District Council seized control of Bourne’s main industries, set up the ‘State Guardsmen’ and set up special camps for refugees coming in from the nearby hamlets. Since half of Lincolnshire was nuclear wasteland and not knowing what the condition in the rest of the country was like, the Bourne District Council changed its name to the East Britain National Council and declared Bourne and the surrounding areas the Provisional State of East Britain. There had been some debate over whether to call the new state Brunnia after the town of Bourne itself or to call it East England. The Council however, decided that the wisest decision would not be Brunnia because it would not represent other peoples they annexed. East England would also be unwise because the Council decided that the concept of England not Britain had been growing towards Doomsday and they decided that the concept of Englishness had not taken Britain to any good places. So East Britain it was. Over a matter of weeks East Britain used the A15 to advance past Morton and occupied the land around Bourne by about four miles. By November 1986, East Britain occupied an area of roughly a third of South Kesteven.
