- The British Empire was an ancient empire on Earth that consisted of the United Kingdom's colonial holdings. In the 24th century, the use of Greenwich Mean Time, a standard of time developed by the Empire, was controversial because of its association with an empire. (DTI novel: Watching the Clock)

- - Jackie Tyler to Yvonne Hartman The British Empire was the governing body of several territories and colonies on Earth from the 15th Century and into the 20th Century. It spanned across the Earth as did the Roman Empire and the New Roman Empire.
- The British Empire once spanned a whopping two thirds of the Earth's land mass. It was larger than the Mongol Empire covering 33.67 million km2 at its peak in 1922 and ruled far too many people without the consent of the governed though the present day unofficial United States empire may be bigger.

- The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom, that had originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population, and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles (33,670,000 km2): approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" becaus
- Britain, or England, at the time, began their first attempts to colonize North America when the Virginia Company of London began a colony on Roanoke Island, Virginia in 1584. However, the colony disappeared in 1890 under mysterious circumstances and England would not be able to attempt to colonize again until 1607, when they formed the new colony of Jamestown, Virginia. This time, the colony overcomed their challenges and prospered, especially in their production of trade of tobacco with the local Native Americans. Another colony at New Plymouth, Massachusetts, was then formed in 1620 and also succeeded in their environment. Many more colonies of England followed afterwards and soon, England controlled all of the eastern coast of the modern country of the United States of America. The Span
- It should be noted that the Greatness of the British Empire is owed to courageous rum-mummified sailors (e.g., Nelson), drunken dog-faced Prime Ministers (e.g. Churchill), virtuous bloody pirates (e.g., Drake), bastard Queens (e.g., Elizabeth I), Protestant polygamist Caliphas (e.g., Henry VIII), but most importantly brave historians who have invented victories that never occurred (e.g., Vernon's British Invincible Armada of 1741). We won't tolerate Truth to be an obstacle to our Greatness is the motto of the Royal Academy of Historians and Sci-Fi Novelists.
- The British Empire was the name used by the United Kingdom during its time as a colonial power. In the late 1830s until 1842, the Empire went to war with Afghanistan after occupying the country in a gambit to prevent Russian expansion in Central Asia from encroaching on British territory in India. After a disastrous performance from the British Army, a new army invaded Afghanistan to put an end to the war. (PROSE: Mire and Clay) Some years later, the Empire fought a second war against the Afghans. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire) File:StubTab.png
- From Australia to Canada, by way of India and Africa, the British Empire spans a quarter of the globe. Although it's only remaining holding in North America is the Protectorate of Ontario, the Empire is still strong in the rest of the world. British naval forces guard the seas, protecting shipping and securing the King's interests. While the Royal Navy of His Majesty are unparalleled in the world, the same sadly cannot be said of the Royal Air Force, which is sadly lacking in combat-effective interceptor fighters.
- The British Empire was established in or slightly after 1868, after the Battle of Prague. After the successful Coup D'etat against the Commoner Parliament in Great Britain by William Gladstone and his subservient magician cohorts (put in the "official" history as an event known as the Long Council, where the parliament apparently willingly unanimously elected Gladstone as Prime Minister after he explained to them the necessity of magician rule), Gladstone established magician rule over Great Britain, and waged a "Counter" war against the Holy Roman Empire, which at the time was the dominant power in Europe, though it had been declining for years.
- The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time. The empire covered more than , almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its
