New Britannia is a UNSC Colony in the Inner Colony region of human space and is known for its low crime rates and for being the most watched colony by CCTV camera's. New Britannia also holds the record for being under Covenant occupation for twenty years until liberated by a UNSC-Sangheili taskforce in 2571.

Colonisation
New Britannia was colonized at the end of the first colonisation wave - the wave that formed the Inner Colonies. 160,000 colonists, many from the European Federation and the United Provinces of Asia first began the foundations of the new colony on the contintent of Yunnan, which was incredibly fertile from several volcanoes - which at the time of UNSC colonisation many were either extinct or dormant with only a few still active. This fertile land gave rise to one of the largest population explosions seen by the Colonial Administration Authority and soon it was decided that the population would have to be moved off the Yunnan continent, especially since many of the dormant volcanoes had recently become active once more, threatening New Britannia's citizens and destroying many homes and businesses.

With the resources of the newly found Outer Colonies, the second largest continent on New Britannia, Hatton was chosen for its solid granite base and for its poorly fertile land which was practically worthless. This was chosen for the new site of a huge new city - New Beijing. New Bejing was to incorporate some of the latest designs and to become a model city that rivalled some of Earth's grand cities. With the threat of the volcanoes on the other side of the world, which had raised the temperature of New Britannia by two degree's in the last four decades, New Bejing's buildings were also designed to be as 'green' as possible with many buildings supporting solar-panels and wind turbines while the cities buildings were all coloured white or bright colours to reflect the sunlight in order to help bring down the temperature of the world.

The city took twenty years to fully build and finally New Britannia's population of 13.6 million citizens quickly filtered into the city.
