United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is a secondary location within The Suffering. The country had about 35% of its population surviving the plague, with 55% dying from the plague and 10% from other incidents. The population had very different methods of survival, with 25% hiding in abandoned castles or within other buildings with high protection. It is reported that the isles of Wight, Man and Northern Scottish ones had minor outbreaks, which caused most of the population to easily defend their respective islands.

Apocalypse
It is unknown the exact date of when the plague reached the nation, but it is known that the Outbreak of Manchester (which killed 75%) caused a Great Panic across the nation. It took the country less than 2 months for most major cities to report cases and/or outbreaks.

However, they successfully managed to close their airports and ports two weeks after the Outbreak of Manchester and called for all citizens to return. The Outbreak of London in mid 2021 (which killed 60%) forced much of the nation's population to scramble for protection.

Queen Elizabeth II and other notable royal members gave up their estates to whoever could reach and secure them as they were escorted to the Isle of Wight. After most of the nation was liberated, it was announced the Queen had died from a family illness in which the liberation military was nicknamed "The Queen's Guardian Angels".

They completed liberating most of Wales, England and Northern Ireland between January 2023 - March 2023 and ultimately gave Northern Ireland back to Ireland as a 'thankyou' for their help. This spark led to some Scottish survivors pleading for independence, something that was looked down upon as 82% of Scottish citizens voted no.

In 2025, Scotland was fully liberated and the country was classified as 'back to normal'. The UK Government and Parliament was abolished and instead the reign was ruled back to Absolute Monarchy after the Monarchy's great efforts and help during the liberation. However, the country also voted for a Prime Minister that would act as the voice of the public, in which they could vote for every 4 years.
