Great Britain is a confederation of seven governments under a common crown, rights system, military, and foreign and home affairs system. The Confederation is collectively a democracy operating under seven regional governments bound by a common code of law. The Great British Confederation was established by an Act of Parliament two months after the Irish-British War. The nation has since then established national peace from civil unrest with the new confederation system, though the population's ability to see itself as one nation rather than a collection of eight has been hindered. The Confederation is ranked highly in democracy, freedom, and rights.
