The Britwank Empire
 |
Stop the revolution, save the world. |
 |
Written by Analytical Engine, The Britwank Empire is one of a series of Alternate History timelines in the so-called "Strangerverse", and hosted on AlternateHistory.com.
The basic premise is that a Time Traveler from the future has gone back in time to 1772, and gives William Pitt the Elder a mission - unite the world to save the world under The British Empire and prevent the apocalyptic war from happening in 2258.
At one point it had a sequel, Once More unto the Chappa'ai, in which there was a crossover with Stargate. Originally located here, it now appears to be missing.
