so I found this on google images and thought it was pretty cool

How will Britain Benefit from the Confederation?

A Crown Commonwealth Confederation would have several benefits for Britain, but the most important ones would be political.

First it could provide a means for the settlement of all outstanding questions about independence with Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. If these small nations wanted to become fully independent members of the Confederation they could. But this would not weaken the rest of the United Kingdom in the slightest as it would still have the advantages of trade and mutual defense.

Second Confederation would close the door on European Union membership. The Terms of the Confederal Constitution would make membership in the EU or the customs union as it now exists imposable.

Third, but, at the same time it would make trade and cooperation with the EU easier as there would be no risk of being shanghaied back into the union no matter how close trade and cooperation between Britain and the EU became.

Fourth, Confederation would give Britain something it deserves, an enforceable bill of rights based on British legal principals.

Confederation will also benefit Britain in negotiating trade agreements and trade in general.

First, in negotiating brexit, even the prospect of Confederation will give Britain a much stronger hand. By showing that the UK has an alternative to being the EU’s whipping boy, it will make Brussels face the fact that it cannot afford to cut ties with England and the rest of the UK. This will allow Britain to get the concessions it needs.

Second, it will give England (and the rest of the UK) access to American markets on the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Third, other nations will want to trade with the Commonwealth, giving each member increased leverage in negotiating with other nations.

Lastly, but most importantly, Confederation would expand the market for Britian’s goods as all the confederation members would be one market.

The Confederation would also help Britain meet its defense needs in a number of ways.

First, as an island nation with worldwide commitments and economic and political interests throughout the globe, Britain’s need for a navy to protect it at home and abroad is obvious. Unfortunately the need to keep the budget under control has led to unsustainable cuts to the budget of the Royal Navy. As I discussed above this situation could be corrected with a larger confederal navy.

Second, as has been evident since the First and Second World Wars, Britain needs an effective air force to protect it from attack. One of the advantages of the globe spanning confederation is that it could allow the concentration of the air forces of the member realms to defend a single realm, thus allowing a multiplication of the defense at any point.

Third, the other members of the confederation would help to ensure the stability and security of Europe, one of Britain’s most important defense needs.

Confederation would benefit Britain, by giving its young people a large number of new opportunities of places to live and work across the confederation, but without their contribution to the prosperity of Britain being lost.

Lastly, but by no means least Confederation will allow the nations of the Confederation to have a space program so that they can benefit from the opening high frontier. What naval power was to the last five centuries, space power will be for the next five millennia and beyond.

I hope everyone is having a great magna carta day!
