Minister for Public Conduct of the Socialist Republic of Britannia

The Architect of Modern Britannia

Lilly Cooper is often described as the architect of Britannia’s modern Marxist state. As Laura Marx’s most trusted ally and the Minister of Public Conduct, Lilly’s influence reaches into every corner of public and private life. She is the face of Marxism in Britannia and the embodiment of the state’s ideals: sharp intelligence, flawless presentation, and unyielding authority.

The Pact and Early Strategy

Her story begins with the pact she and her seven friends made as teenagers. At just 13, Lilly was among the group that infiltrated the Communist Party under the guise of volunteers. From the outset, her role was clear—she was the strategist. While Laura envisioned the revolution’s sweeping goals, Lilly turned them into actionable plans. It was she who refined the details, adjusted the timing, and carefully assigned roles to each member of the group. Her precision and foresight ensured the coup’s success.

As a Party volunteer, Lilly worked quietly but with purpose. She handled administrative duties and immersed herself in the operations of the old leadership, observing weaknesses and building relationships. By 15, her reputation for competence and charm had secured her a position close to senior Party officials. She played her part perfectly: the diligent young woman eager to serve. Behind the scenes, she funneled critical information to Laura and the group, ensuring their plans moved forward without detection.

The Revolution and the Coup

When the revolution came to fruition in 1954, Lilly’s contributions were indispensable. She was deeply involved in planning every aspect of the coup, from coordinating propaganda to staging public events that cemented Laura’s image as a decisive leader. It was Lilly’s idea to turn the executions of the Party elders into a spectacle—public events that not only eliminated threats but rallied the people around the new regime. Her mastery of public perception was evident in every broadcast, every carefully chosen word.

Minister of Public Conduct

At 17, Lilly was named Minister of Public Conduct, a role she quickly expanded into the most powerful office in the Socialist Republic of Britannia after Laura’s own. The Ministry of Public Conduct became the nerve center of the regime, controlling propaganda, education, media, and public morality. Lilly’s hand guided every message disseminated to the public, every policy that shaped daily life. From the grading system that determined women’s roles to the reimagining of historical figures as female icons, Lilly’s influence was everywhere.

Master of Media and Public Relations

One of Lilly’s greatest tools was the British People’s Broadcasting Corporation (BPBC), which she brought under her sole control as part of her sweeping reforms. Understanding the power of media, Lilly used the BPBC to transform public relations into a weapon of the state. Every radio broadcast, television program, and public announcement bore her stamp of approval. The BPBC became her mouthpiece, blending news, entertainment, and propaganda into a seamless narrative that celebrated the regime’s achievements and vilified its enemies.

Her work in media and public relations was revolutionary. Lilly understood that control wasn’t just about laws and enforcement but about belief and emotion. She used the BPBC to craft a culture steeped in socialist ideals, broadcasting executions as spectacles and producing documentaries that reimagined history to align with the Party’s values. Her propaganda campaigns turned the regime’s policies—however draconian—into triumphs of progress and equality in the public mind.

The Face of Marxism

Lilly’s popularity was unmatched. With her striking beauty and eloquence, she became the public face of the regime. While Laura Marx was the visionary leader, Lilly was the relatable figure, a woman who appeared both commanding and approachable. Her speeches were events in themselves, delivered with warmth and conviction that captivated audiences. Whether addressing a crowd in Red Square or appearing in Party broadcasts, Lilly exuded an authority that felt personal and reassuring.

Her close friendship with Laura Marx further elevated her status. The two were inseparable, their partnership the foundation of the regime. While Laura led with ruthless determination, Lilly provided balance—offering counsel, strategy, and a human touch. Their relationship was a constant reminder of the pact that had brought them to power, a symbol of the unity that underpinned the state.

Expanding Her Influence

Lilly’s influence extended far beyond the Ministry of Public Conduct. She was involved in shaping policies across all areas of government, her advice sought on matters ranging from economic planning to the judiciary. Her ability to balance ideological purity with pragmatic governance made her indispensable. Where others saw obstacles, Lilly saw opportunities, her solutions always aligning with the regime’s broader goals.

A Legacy of Power

By 1962, Lilly Cooper was not just a minister; she was a cultural icon and a political powerhouse. Her legacy was already secured as one of the most important figures in Britannia’s history—a leader whose intelligence, charm, and strategic genius had transformed not just the government but the very fabric of society. Second only to Laura Marx, Lilly was the beating heart of the revolution, a woman whose power was felt in every decision, every policy, and every broadcast.
