In the aftermath of the Third Global War, many established governments fell. Britain, groaning under massive reparations suffered massive hyperinflation. The monarchy was overthrown in 1893, and a new Republic of Great Britain and Ireland proclaimed. This republic had a centralized administration, destroying the autonomy of Scotland and Ireland, and highly Anglocentric. Long-simmering ethnic strife exploded to the fore. Ireland declared independence, soon to be followed by Scotland. Scotland invited Princess Maria Theresia of Rhineland (wife of the Rhinelandish prince Ludwig, later King Ludwig II, and heir to the Stuart claim) to be Queen of Scots. The British government in London threatened to invade the breakaway nations, but a coalition of the victorious powers forced them to back down. And so, London was forced to acknowledge the independence of Scotland and Ireland. Afterwards, the nation was renamed the Second English Commonwealth.
Princess Maria Theresia agreed to the invitation on the advice of her husband, and on the condition that they become co-rulers. And so, on March 1, 1897, Princess Maria Theresia and Prince Ludwig became Queen Mary III and King Louis of Scots. Scotland soon became prosperous in its new relationship to Rhineland and France.

The Second English Commonwealth became increasingly tyrannical, with its Prime Minister, John Cartwright, becoming increasingly dictatorial. In 19??, the Second English Commonwealth gave way to the Restored Kingdom of England, with John Cartwright as Regent, a position he used to increase his powers even more by restoring the Crown's powers. Shortly before the outbreak of the Eurasian War, he went even further and proclaimed himself King John II of England and Scots and I of Wales, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
After several long years of civil war, a much-reduced Russia finally emerged with a stable government. Much of Russia's territory had broken off into new nations, which held on to their independence fiercely. Japan assured the Central Asian nations' independence, and the independence of the Eastern European states were assured by France and Rhineland.
