The United Kingdom or UK (full title: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), also known as Britain and Great Britain, is a constitutional monarchy in north-western Europe. It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
During the Great World War II, the UK was a member of the Allied Forces fighting against the Soviet Union. The UK contributed its well-trained military forces to driving the Soviet war machine from Europe.
When Tiberium took hold of Europe in the 1990s the UK enjoyed relative safety from the toxic substance as an island nation, with considerably less Tiberium infestation than mainland European countries. As a former Allied nation and an economically developed state, the UK quickly became a member of the newly-formed GDI, under the leadership of Prime Minister Francis Weatherell.
During the Second Tiberium War, the United Kingdom housed the secret lab that tested the Mammoth Mk. II walker.
Following the Second Tiberium War, when GDI classified areas of the Earth according to the degree of Tiberium infestation within them, the UK was designated a Blue Zone, as Tiberium growth was still very limited and contained. The UK continued to be a thriving country with a high degree of technological development.
However, during the Third Tiberium War catastrophe loomed for this once relatively safe haven. The Scrin aliens viciously attacked this Blue Zone, raiding the capital, London and destroying a number of historic landmarks and political centres. The UK was left reeling and in disarray as GDI forces struggled desperately to push the invaders back into Red Zones. Fortunately they eventually succeeded, but countless lives were lost.
