[X] For Queen and Country
-[X] Experienced Troops: The world has not been kind to you, but your people have risen to the challenge. Your army consists of not fresh young lads, but battle-harden veterans. Your army has some experience when it comes to war and include many veterans amongst their ranks. Incompatible with Inexperienced Troops. Costs -1 Point
-[X] Anglican Crusaders: Just like you, the Anglican Church has always fancied itself as the inheritor of Great Britain and also just like you, they seek to reunite the British Isles under their rule. Right now, they are making a step towards that as some of their vassal-kingdoms are invading you from the east. Starts off being the target of an Anglican Holy War from the east. Provides +2 Points
-[X] The Troubles: While they have always talked of reuniting Ireland and restoring the Republic, it has always just been talk. Now the Irish Catholics are actually acting on their desire to remove the Union of Ulster instead of talking about it. The Irish Catholic states are preparing to finally rid themselves of the Union of Ulster, your only friend in Ireland. Provides +1 Points
-[X] Civil Service: A legacy of the Old World, her Majesty's Civil Service has both survived the Collapse and survived to this day. While not as strong as it once was, it allows for a non-oligarchic administration. Starts off with a weak, but functional Civil Service. Costs -2 Points
-[X] Power Grid: Electricity was everywhere in the Old World, but since the Collapse, the infrastructure for providing the electricity has fallen into disarray across most places. You have ensured that your lands are not one of those places. Start off with a functional electrical grid. Costs -2 Points
-[X] Feudal Lords: In the aftermath of the Collapse, society has rebuilt itself in new ways and most of these ways have been the strong and powerful ruling over the weak and poor. While you have retained most of the democracy that Britain had prior to the Collapse, even your lands are not free of the new rise of feudalism. Start off with a significant amount of your land being ruled by feudal vassals. Provides +2 Points
-[X] Crime Lords: Crime has been an eternal part of civilisation and without the systems of the Old World, it has only grown more rife since the Collapse and despite your best efforts, there is a thriving criminal underworld throughout your lands. Start off with a powerful criminal underworld. Provides +1 Point
-[X] MI5: A legacy from the Old World, MI5 has survived the collapse and now provides professional protection against the intrigue of foreign powers. You have a professional counter-intelligence agency up and running. Costs -1 Point
-[X] Compromised Parliament: At least one member of Parliament is a traitor and is selling information to foreign powers. At least one high-ranking member of your government is a traitor. Provides +2 Points
-[X] Autocratic Supporters: A not so small portion of the population supports the idea of demolishing the democratic nature of the government and giving absolute power to the queen. Increased Anti-Democratic Support amongst the populace. Can be taken up to three times. Provides +1 Point
--[X] Two times
-[X] Power Armour: Power armour was commonplace in armies before the Collapse and since them, it has retained its prominent on the battlefield. Clad in power armour, knights are one of the most feared things on the battlefield and the few who can produce more have a significant advantage. You have knowledge of how power armour works and how to produce more. Costs -1 Point
-[X] Firearms: The firearms of the Old World have been increasingly rare and valuable since the Collapse. As more weapons of the Old World are lost or broken, fewer and fewer have access to them thanks to only a few like your people knowing how to make both more guns and more ammo. You have knowledge of how to make guns and ammo for them. Costs -1 Point
-[X] Vehicles: Motorised vehicles are commonplace before the Collapse and most everyone own one of some kind. While many are still used in this day and age, most have lost knowledge of how to make more, but not your people. You have knowledge f how to make motorised vehicles. Costs -1 Point
-[X] Nuclear Power: Once declining during the Old World, nuclear power saw a brief resurgence prior to the Collapse. Your people have been fortunate to have the technical know-how of how to run a nuclear reactor passed down throughout the generations. You have knowledge on how nuclear power works. Requires Electricity. Costs -1 Point
The country isn't in good shape, but it is decent enough. You have technology no one else could hope to match, but you need to put that tech into action. Knowledge is good and all, but you need to start making use of it.
You have a decent military. Several of the old army units survived the Collapse and while they might be very different to what they were before the Collapse, they have proven their worth since the world ended. Having fought many wars over the wars, the British Army is full of battle-harden veterans.
You also have knowledge of the Old World technology needed to equip them to turn them into an unmatched fighting force. Power armour, proper firearms and vehicles are all things you could get up and running if you have the chance to get some production lines set up. The only question would be if you would get that chance.
The south is quiet for now as you have an uneasy peace with the Forged Iron cultists ruling the Isle of Wight and while the truce with the Atomic Sons has expired by now, the French seem to be content to stay on their side of the channel for now.
Right now, your main problems are to the east and the north. The techno-barbarians are striking from the Midlands again. They aren't really techno-barbarians, but that is the name that the Anglicans have given the small and disorganised groups of the north, demonising them as unclean savage that they need to bring the light of civilisation to. None of your people brought into that particular brand of Anglican nonsense, but the name had struck.
You got three groups to deal with. You got the raiding parties from the Oxford Clans. They are the standard fare as you have small groups of fighters armed with a mixture of low tech gear. Easy enough to deal with once you got some military forces to hit them.
Then you have Hargrove's Horde. The titular Hargrove is something of a charismatic man and a decent general. Able to carve out some holdings in the Midlands, he has a few thousand men and women following him into battle. Still low tech and disunited, Hargrove has organised them into something that could be dangerous and would be dangerous if you ignore him and his followers.
The last group is the Knights of the Red Rose and they are almost certainly the worst threat. Considering themselves a knightly order, the Red Roses were formed by a bunch of British fascists after the Collapse. Build around their core of knights, veteran combatants wearing power armour, the Red Roses seek to restore Britain to its pre-Collapse glory like many others did. Yet for all their claims of being British patriots and seeking to restore glory and unity to the British people, the Knights of the Red Rose are little more than a bunch of brigands as they pillage settlements and attack traders.
If that was the only things that you need to worry about, you would be confident in your ability to deal with the threats to your country. Unfortunately for you and the United Kingdom, the Anglicans were causing trouble again.
Your main rival in the British Isles, the Anglican Church had taken the old capital of London as its home and ruled over several feudal kingdoms across the south-east and the east in addition to a pair of kingdoms in what were once Somerset and Gloucestershire. They lacked your superior technology and administration, but they made up for it with wealth, numbers and fanaticism. You had fought many wars with them over the future of the British Isles.
They had their nobles leading them with their divinely given noble blood and they fought as a knights, forming an elite power armoured core to their infantry-dominated armies. As a survivor of the Old World, you knew that their so-called noble blood was actually just genetic engineering that the rich got for themselves and their children, something that you made sure that your own people got taught in school.
The Anglicans are your biggest rivals and not just in mundane affairs. Just as the United Kingdom is the champion of the Old World and the ways of the past, the Anglican Church embodies the strongman nature of this new world with the strong lording over the power, armies built around infantry and limited technology built around some leftovers from the Old World.
The fight between the United Kingdom and the Anglican Church is one of ideology just as much as it is one over land and resources. It is a conflict of the old versus the new and whichever one emerges the victor shall dominate the British Isles for future generations. There would not be any lasting peace so long as one of you endured.
Right now, you only got two kingdoms to worry about as the King of Surrey and the Queen of Sussex have declared a holy war against the United Kingdom. You know what to expect from them. Poorly equipped levies led by knights in power armour and supported by professional mercenaries.
If that wasn't enough, the Irish are still causing trouble, the Troubles themselves to be precise. Ireland could be divided into four major groups. There is the Union of Ulster as the nation that was once Northern Ireland has grown to dominated the old province of Ulster. While they pledge nominal allegiance to the Crown, they are de facto independent.
The rest of Ireland is not friendly to both the United Kingdom and the Union of Ulster as the self-proclaimed Catholic Republicans seek to crush the Union of Ulster and re-united Ireland. The biggest and most unified of them is the Republic of Ireland, but it is only a republic in name. It is as much of a feudal monarchy as the Anglicans and their president is just another king.
Next is the Connacht Tribes. Mostly a series of city-states, these tribes of Irishmen are not united at all, but have been able to resist conquest from both the Union and the Republic so far. For the last decade or so, they have controlled the province of Connacht that they have gotten their name from.
The last faction in Ireland is a relative newcomer as the Archbishopric of Dublin has managed to most of the Leinster province. Still a rising star, you are unsure how long the Archbishopric will hold it recent conquests and if it they will remain a noteworthy player or fracture into multiple states.
While the Irish Catholic Republicans have always talk of defeat the Union of Ulster and reuniting the Isle of Ireland, it has always just been talk outside of a few invasions. Now it looks like that they are going to act on that talk as the Archbishop of Dublin is putting together a coalition to take out the Union of Ulster.
If they succeed in doing that, it would be bad for you even beyond the loss of your Irish all thanks to your internal situation. Despite your best efforts, the United Kingdom is not going well internally.
You got plenty of undemocratic elements in your country. Despite your best efforts to persuade him otherwise, King Oliver accept the allegiance of several feudal vassals and you got a decent number of feudal lords to deal with. While they are happy for now, they can be onerous, demanding and thanks to seats in the House of Lords, needlessly disruptive. You will need to root them out, but there is no easy to do that so for now, you will just need to deal with them.
You also got some noteworthy support for an aristocracy or absolute monarchy within the populace. While they have generally kept out of parliament due to being against the institution on principle, the autocratic factions have been known to cause some civil unrest from time to time. You also wouldn't put it past them to try and force their views upon the government. Queen Victoria is a firm supporter of democracy like her father was, but some of her self-proclaimed supporters might ignore her wishes to make some misguided attempt to empower her for her own good. Given how they can find support and soldiers amongst the feudal lords within the country, it is best that you avoid giving the chance or motivation to make any attempts at installing their beliefs.
There are conventional criminal elements to worry about as well. Despite the best efforts of the remaining law enforcement, several criminal organisations have set up shop within the United Kingdom. While these crime lords don't directly oppose the government, their illegal activities can have undermining effect on the government and society in general.
To make matters worse, there is also a traitor in parliament. You don't know who, but MI5 has caught an outflow of top-secret information to an unknown receiver. The nature of the information being given away means it has to be someone high up in the government, but you don't know who it is or who they are sending the information to.

Okay, it is the first turn and your chance to pick which direction you will go it. Thanks to your choices, you got plenty of tech with which to build things, but you also got plenty of fires to put out.
After seeing some sentiments in the thread and discord, I want to clarify that your character is attempting to restore a western liberal democracy and therefore that is what you, the players, are going for. You don't get to aim for other types of governments. If democracy falls within the United Kingdom or you trample over too many rights or you otherwise lose your way, it will be a game over and I will not be continuing the quest from the new perspective.

Okay, it is the first turn and your chance to pick which direction you will go it. Thanks to your choices, you got plenty of tech with which to build things, but you also got plenty of fires to put out.
After seeing some sentiments in the thread and discord, I want to clarify that your character is attempting to restore a western liberal democracy and therefore that is what you, the players, are going for. You don't get to aim for other types of governments. If democracy falls within the United Kingdom or you trample over too many rights or you otherwise lose your way, it will be a game over and I will not be continuing the quest from the new perspective.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.

It seems your plan is based on turtling up and buying time while trying to further build up our tech advantage and dealing with our internal problems @Ptolemy . The plan plays to our strengths well I think and avoids potentially overstretching our decent military . The main downside is it forfeits the initiative to our foes which could be dangerous.

Yeah, I feel a bit cautious about going on the offensive, as if we take casualties that might leave us vulnerable to another attack. Of course, counterbalancing that, there's the risk that while we might be able to separately defeat our enemies, if they attack at the same time we'll be vulnerable. I'm inclined to take the risk so we can get more troops and better equipment in the meantime, but it's worth mentioning. I also feel concerned that while we'd be able to beat the Anglicans' regular troops, we might not be able to take down their Power Armoured troops without significant casualties. If we can get some of our own knights, and equip them with advanced weaponry, then we'll have a kind of trump card.

Maybe taking the options to expand the Civil Service and re-establish MI6 would unlock an extra administrative and intelligence action?
Edit: I was admittedly tempted to take those actions this turn, but I thought it was probably better to try and leverage our tech advantage and deal with some of the problems we inherited. Of course, if anyone disagrees, I'm open to changing my mind.
