History of the United Kingdom of America
The Register documents the history of a whole world, of which the United Kingdom of America is the largest subject rather than the boundary. Its ten eras run from the older continent and the orders that preceded the Atlantic crossing, through the founding crisis that ended in settlement rather than separation, across revolutions, unifications, emancipations and two world wars, to the present order of the 2028 baseline.
