I am an Anglophile (teaboo if you will) and believe that the British Empire was the most benevolent and civilized power in history; that the Constitution of the United Kingdom, although unwritten, represents the most perfect framework of good governance in existence, and that any positive qualities that America has can be attributed to English influence.
Does this happen in your nation?

anglo liberalism is indeed a neat form of governance, but it only works with white anglos and races that are very similar to them. as soon as you start to introduce other races, especially non-whites, the system immediately turns against it's creators and starts to prosecute them in an insane fashion, essentially deleting itself and giving way to something way worse.

They were not. Thing is, the British "Empire" was not by design, such as the Spanish or Roman Empires etc. The Brits did not set out to "conquer land". They merely wanted to make money. Being an island, they use ships to trade. Sailing ships need replenishment bases and defended ports, so the Brits established small outposts dotted around the globe. These outposts turn into colonies. Meanwhile, uncooperative natives impede their pursuit of money. So, they take sides in local conflict and or bribe the rulers to take British "Advisors". These Advisors gradually take power away from local rulers and eventually become Colonial Governors. As you have noticed, the Brits generally avoid military conquests and mainly use their military as police. In fact, the Brits fight other European powers more than local natives. After gaining control of native kingdoms or regions, the Brits implement education to create a class of literate native clerks and functionaries to staff the offices and banks. They also build roads, rail and ports to siphon all the raw material and goods back to Britain. This Mercantile mindset made them seem " benevolent" when compared to the say, the Spanish or French Empires.

not true, for example, no other contemporary cultures puts such a great emphasis on arming the individual than Americans, which stems from the fact that your nation was born in a revolution and you're still observing a quintessentially revolutionary principle 250 years later. in any other case, as soon as a revolution succeeds and a new regime is installed it almost immediately disarms the population to prevent a counter revolution, but America decided to keep it's population armed because they're (or at least there were) the only major government of history that actively expected it's population to revolt and gave them the means to succeed.
now that's pretty fucking unique.

The English Bill of Rights established a legal precedent for the right to keep and bear arms a century before the US Constitution. The Second Amendment is fundamentally indebted to the rights of Englishmen and Anglo-Saxon common law, as is most of the Constitution. The colonists didn't rebel in rejection of their English identity, but precisely the opposite; they held English customs and norms in high esteem and felt that they could not be truly English if they did not have the rights it entailed.

That's a bad thing.
We should have completely depopulated the colonies.
The world should have 300m Nordic Britons now.

It's crazy how several african countries could have been majority white if not for the world wars

The British Empire did a lot of good and was much gentler than any other European empire, but imperialism is still evil. I can't just gloss over murderous subjugation and exploitation.
