After catastrohpic events following Brexit anarchy was ruling whole island. Europe with experiences from previous regional conflicts knew this would cause a huge blow on continent. A special "European Union Army" was formed to restore order on the island. It was welcomed peacefully by half of population, whilist other half kept complaining about losing sovereignity. But with support from Ireland and short-lived Syndicate of Scotland, it was accepted by locals without any problem. After order was restored, a special protectorate government was established. It abolished military and introduced European regulations without any conditions. Then it proceeded with more laws to follow, but it never left the core European Union values. Meaning people could end protectorate at wish, any time they want. But people of island choose to stick with protectorate. Now, protectorate is only a symbolic and historic part of the nation, United Republic is free and independent.
