It's done! It has a little less detail but that's because a lot is explained in the books.

The U.K. A Powerful Empire

Description: Great Britain is the fabled land of Harry Potter. Wizards around the world remember the fabled reign of terror caused by the Dark Wizard Voldemort. What few realize though, is that this small island off the coast of Europe governs a huge empire. It controls the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, Polynesian Islands, India, Iceland, Ireland, Caribbean Islands, and Parts of Africa. Everywhere colonial wizards are in a constant battle with native shamans.

U.K. Government: The government of the U.K is noted in the "Harry Potter" series, but the Ministry of Magic has more power than is recounted. Control over countless colonies gives them a large amount of power. It is a rather strange system, as the entire empire is governed from one small island, and it doesn't help the conflicts with native peoples.

U.K. Society: Life in Great Britain mostly reflects life elsewhere in Europe. Wizards live in hiding and send children to the boarding school of Hogwarts at age 11. Wizards wear robes and traditional pointed wizard hats. But life changes once you are out in the colonies. Life is constantly on the edge. White colonist wizards have to constantly worry about a simmering conflict between local residents and native peoples. In general colonist society is a more dangerous, rugged version of life back in Britain. Tribal life is even more dangerous as constant battles drive them to live on the edge.

U.K Magic: British wizards are known for their diversity in wands. Because of cultural influences from the Celts, Scots, and Romans. This is reflected in their magic. Because of their Celtic and Scottish influence British wizards are some of the best in the world at Transfiguration and housework spells. However because of Romans British wizards use Latin Latin incantations and spells in general. This is reflected among colonists, but natives each use their own style of magic and wands. Canadian natives are good with nature and cold elemental magic. Native Americans in the U.S. are experts in certain types of divination and practical charms. Caribbean and Polynesian wizards tend to be good Hydromancers and handy with exotic elixirs. The Aborigines of Australia and Maori people of New Zealand tend to be good with fast and brutal combat spells. Indians are some of the fathers of divination and subtle enchantments. African wizards have a whole host of skills. It really depends on the area.
