    Poorly timed as the sun finally set on the British empire for the first time in over a century just a few months ago

          But when though? This says it would be a few millenia until it happens (not the best source, I know), and the British government still has yet to ratify the Chagos Islands deal that happend in May as of today.

              That was the reason I brought up that the Chagos Islands has not been transferred to Mauritius yet (with the earliest date for it being August 1st). So the sun still hasn’t set on them. (Fortunately though the Brits didn’t get to summon the soul eater that night.)
