The United States of the Ionian Islands was a British protectorate from 1815 to 1864, when it was ceded to Greece. The British took control of the Islands in 1815 upon the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars.
So how can we make this insular little state survive up until the present? Could they become like Malta - a British island territory which gains independence? Why did Britain give them up in 1864 anyway?
