Description
What if the British Empire came back? To answer the what, we gotta answer the how, and the how is honestly: they'd need a third of the world to say yes.
The old empire lives on as the Commonwealth: 56 countries and about 2.7 billion people, one in three people on Earth. More than half of those votes are Indian, so if it ever came back, India decides. Say yes, and it's the biggest country on Earth, with more people than China and America combined.
Good news: no visas, London is just another city you can move to. Bad news: half your college moves to Canada, the King is back on top, and Britain has to split its money with a billion of us. But with the most votes, India runs it… and the British finally learn how to make tea properly.
Would you vote yes? Tell us 👇
