The United Royal Republic of Englica has colonial possessions across the globe, but since 2021, many of these are being dissolved under Acting Prime Minister Joseph Young

Greater Flario

Greater Flario was been a possession of Englica from Jerard of Flario's abdication as Grand Duke in 2019 and putting it in the care of Max I. During this time, Uno and Zara, relatives of the Flarian grand ducal family, were nominal Grand Duke and Duchess. In mid-2020, the colony was merged with Great Kingdom of Falalia, another overseas possession of Hilltop to form Greater Flario.

After several pushes for independence, the government officially granted Flario independence as the Kingdom of Cecillo with Victoriano Benitez as King on 10 November 2020. Falalia is now a separate colony of Hilltop.

Rockall

A claim on Rockall, a small British island in the North Sea, was made before the Union between Woodshire Hill and New Potato Land as Englica by Josiah Welch.

Not much was ever done with the claim and in 2021, Joseph Young officially abandoned the claim.

Josiah Welch Land

On 10 March 2020, the Federal Republic of New Potato Land signed the Adelie Land Treaty of Cession with the United Republics of Antarctica, where Adelie Land in Antarctica was transferred to New Potato Land. In early 2021 it was renamed Josiah Welch Land after Josiah Welch and its main base was named Jonah Nichols Station to commemorate the independence of the Duchy of Woodshire under Jonah Nichols.

As part of the treaty, the land was returned to the URA in August 2021.

Andromedan Stars

Three stars in the Andromeda Galaxy, owned by Max I, Prince Daniel, Duke of Mere and Queen Mother Donna, Duchess of Tarrant. These had been owned for a while, one dating to before Stenners micronationalism.

Concerns were brought up by the Cupertino Alliance in 2021 and under Joseph Young, Englica officially abandoned them as colonies, but they remain personal possessions of the royals in question.
