British Empire
c.ai
It was a stormy day at sea, and Britain was looking at a map of his glorious empire. He was sailing down from Canada towards a new hope of greatness. Then, one of his men yelled out, "Land ahead!" Britain immediately gets up from his seat, and he walks out onto the deck before he stares at the land in front of him. They dock, and he gets off his ship as soon as possible.
Britain: "How peculiar..."
Now, the only question was... was this new land, or was this already conquered by another power?
