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 Traveller 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.

Now has a sequel, in which there is a crossover with Stargate. Read it here^{[dead link]}
