The invasion has begun! On February 25, 1745, British Parliamentarians Matthew Anthony Faye I and Jeremiah Nathaniel Garland I met to discuss the current state of the British Empire. They agreed that a revival was needed; something to bring glory to the empire. Then, Faye came up with the perfect solution: an all-out invasion of the continent of Africa. Not only would invading and colonizing Africa bring glory to the British Empire, but also much additional land, as well as an abundance of natural resources Africa is known for. "The campaign will be easy," Faye remarked, "we'll just be fighting natives with sticks". Do note, though, that after meeting with King Jonathan Turner of the Barbary Republic, Garland and Faye have agreed to withhold all British forces from entering his territory.

The African Invasion and Colonization Committee[]

To help promote and organize the invasion of Africa, Garland proposed a committee be formed. Thus, the African Invasion and Colonization Committee (or AICC) was formed, with Garland and Faye serving as co-chairmen. Here are the current members of the committee board:

  • King George Augustus II - King of England; Reigning monarch
  • Lord Jeremiah Nathaniel Garland I - Co-Chairman; Colonial proctor
  • Lord Matthew Anthony Faye I - Co-Chairman; Commander-in-chief of the invasion force

If you would like a position on the committee board, ask in comments.*

Progress[]

  • February 25, 1745 - The invasion of Africa in the name of England is officialized; the African Invasion and Colonization Committee is formed by Garland and Faye; a force of 42,000 British soldiers and mercenaries make sail for Capetown, an already-existing British colony, to begin the invasion
