The British Empire fell in 1995 and the colonies are now all colonies of other empires. Brought about by British leaders becoming talkers rather than actors, the shift from country to city, the rejection of sea power, "the growth of refinement and luxury", the decline in taste in literature and drama, the decline in physical health, "the decline of intellectual and religious life", high taxes and exorbitant municipal spending, and the inability to defend themselves or the empire. Compared throughout to the decline and fall of Rome as described by Edward Gibbon in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88).
