Annotation

Germany successfully invades Britain. In a fairly short period of time and with the help of people from the colonies, Britain is converted to Christian duty and the simple life, defeats the Germans in Britain, and then defeats Germany everywhere in the world. The text is written from the perspective of the future eutopia of Christian duty and simplicity. An Imperial State and Imperial Parliament are formed, and the British Empire and the United States form an economic and military alliance.
