The Atlantic Archipelago is a group of isles on Earth Bet that comprise the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, and various other smaller islands, see below for a full list.
Geography/Description
The end of the last ice age caused a rise in sea levels that submerged a land bridge, now called Doggerland, that originally connected the continent of Europe to the Archipelago.
The Anglo-Scottish border is actually beyond Hadrian's Wall. It has historically been a disputed region before the modern era.

History
Background
Given the divergence point during the 1980s, it is unknown how the Northern Ireland peace process went.[1]

At one point a football stadium full of people in Cardiff was targeted by one of String Theory's weapons.[2]
A prime minister of England was successfully assassinated by Teacher.[3]
Timeskip
Manchester was attacked by the Simurgh. It is speculated that she may have been targeting Lord Walston.[4] It is unknown to what extent the city was quarantined.
Post-Timeskip

- ↑ String Theory and Lab Rat stepped out of the same portal. String Theory was short, shorter with her slouch, and petite, her dark hair tied back into a braid, her lips pulled back into a wide expression halfway between a grin and a smile. With her glasses, it made me think of a frog, or a small lizard.

String Theory had made her tinker devices and then auctioned away ‘safeties’. Not uses of the weapon or offering targets, but only guarantees that the owner of a ‘safety’ wouldn’t be one of her randomly selected targets. The targets had ranged from gas stations in Indonesia to a filled football stadium in Cardiff.
As one could imagine, there had been a high demand for her arrest. - Excerpt from Extinction 27.3 - ↑ Crimes: conspiracy to assassinate the Vice President of the United States. Successful. Conspiracy to assassinate the Prime Minister of England. Successful. He picked big targets, took his time and was successful. Setting up his pawns and giving them the low level thinker powers they needed for observation and information gathering, for getting glimpses of the future or intuitively knowing how to hack or decrypt, or for knowing the weaknesses of their enemies and how best to hurt them. - Excerpt from Extinction 27.3

Notes: Defeat, no kill.
Target/consequence: still unknown. Tie to Lord Walston? - Excerpt from Scarab 25.6 - ↑ A case fifty-three appearance in Ireland, with deaths. - Excerpt from Interlude 26.x
- ↑ It gathered its power, then aimed at the nearest, largest population center. Kevin Norton’s birthplace.
The golden light speared forth, and the island shattered, folding, parts of it rising from the ocean. Crumpled like paper in a fist.
The entity did not eliminate the smoke or the waves that followed. It simply let the aftermath occur. - Excerpt from Interlude 26.x - ↑ Withdrawal said. “I had family in Scotland when Gold Morning happened, but that was so far away, and I only ever saw them once every five years. Didn’t really impact me. Today was the first time someone I know has died.” - Excerpt from Radiation 18.3
