In the book the UK is not a member of the EU. Instead British Commonwealth core members such as the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are a semi-united block and serve as a junior partner to the US but clearly playing a far more prominent role than in OTL.
How might the key Commonwealth states plus the UK form a truly united block including a semi-unified military, coordination of economic and scientific resources, not to mention a common market for military equipment and a united diplomatic front?
If this were achieved, perhaps under Eisenhower, what would the results be in terms of military power and economic development? What changes might take place in a world with a second major Western power?
