The British Invasion of Africa (1745)

The invasion has begun! On February 25, 1745, British Parliamentarians Matthew Anthony Faye I and Jeremiah Nathaniel Garland I met to discuss the current state of the British Empire. They agreed that a revival was needed; something to bring glory to the empire. Then, Faye came up with the perfect solution: an all-out invasion of the continent of Africa. Not only would invading and colonizing Africa bring glory to the British Empire, but also much additional land, as well as an abundance of natural resources Africa is known for. "The campaign will be easy," Faye remarked, "we'll just be fighting natives with sticks". Do note, though, that after meeting with King Jonathan Turner of the Barbary Republic, Garland and Faye have agreed to withhold all British forces from entering his territory.

The African Invasion and Colonization Committee
To help promote and organize the invasion of Africa, Garland proposed a committee be formed. Thus, the African Invasion and Colonization Committee (or AICC) was formed, with Garland and Faye serving as co-chairmen. Here are the current members of the committee board:
