The Dominion of Nova Britannia, commonly known as Nova Britannia, is a dominion of the United Kingdom and an independent nation located in the western half of Beta Region of planet Venus. The dominion was established in 2006 from the unification of several British settlements which had been established on the planet. From the beginning it was planned as an independent British dominion, although that goal was only achieved in 2006, with the full separation of Nova Britannia from the Britain, which administered the colony as an British Overseas Territory.
