Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

If Scotland and Wales seceded from the Union, wouldn't it be the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland?

Britain means the whole Island... The most "British" people are the Welsh and across the channel in Brittany. It would be irony if the Welsh Britons were not part of the nation of Britain...

Wales isn't really included, Britain was used to mean a union of England and Scotland, Wales was part of England for a very long time, still is, sort of.

Besides, there is no need to start planning for something that isn't going to happen, we might as well start Germanizing English town names to prepare for joining the Federal Republic.

They ran out of gas. We don't need them.
Oh wait, Im Spamish now. Those nasty brits.

You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

No the English Capital should stay London as it is a nicer city than Birmingham. Have the UK parliment in Birmingham...

Winchester isnt a bad idea though, or if we are going to go historical why not Colchester?

At least I've still got plain old Chester. We have romans. EVERYWHERE.
(Okay, not quite everywhere. But... We have an ampitheatre, right?)

Chester is nice, you can hardly tell you are in the North. Not enough cities still have walls either.

I've not seen that much of London, but it looks about as horrible as Birmingham. But big cities are just big cities to me, comparing them is like comparing animal crap. Horse might be nicer than pig, but at the end of the day, shit is shit.

Winchester was Alfred the Great's capital. Colchester was the capital of the province of Britannia, Winchester was the capital of the Kingdom of England.

I think it might be nice, like Bonn. Just a small town where we keep the government.

Preferably in a fenced off area with lots of sheep.

we keep our politicians in a barren soulless planned out city called Canberra. Its sole purpose is to be the place of our federal government. Everything there is to service the bureaucrats and their underlings - the policitians themselves spend maybe 3-6 months a year there - the rest of the time they're slacking off, or greasing up their electorates, or overseas on wasteful unnecessary junkets.

It was also home to Australia's XXX pornography industry and distribution (before internet pr0n).

I drove thru Canberra once last year - first time and last time I hope...

It's on a highland (well high by Australian standards) plateau surround by sheep and dairy cattle...

Bah, never liked those planned, artificial capitals. Apart from Saint Petersburg, which is superior to the slum in all aspects. Still makes sense to keep the government in Moscow until the Romanov return to glory.
