People occasionally talk about the British Empire possibly surviving if it turn into an imperial federation, which inevitably provokes remarks over just how democratic or representative the Federation could become without no longer being British (as well as arguments over just how enlightened or not the British Empire was).

I posit a different possibility, what if the British Empire remained an undemocratic hierarchical empire, but gradually stopped being British?

What I mean is a unitary imperial state, but one where the best and brightest from all over the empire, of all races, are recruited into the hierarchy. Gradually there being as many Indian and African generals and administrators as British ones.

Any thoughts or suggestions on timelines that express this possibility?
