''Her Majesty's Spiffing: The Empire Staggers Back'' is an AdventureGame by Billy Goat Entertainment Ltd.

After the United Kingdom withdrew from the Union, the Queen decided to invoke the royal prerogative to dissolve parliament and take control of the country herself. However, rather than deal with all the messy armed conflict that comes with conquering other countries in the name of her own, the Queen instead went with a different approach: she's going to expand the British Empire to other planets.

Thus we join our heroes: [[PlayerCharacter Captain Frank Lee English]] and his subordinate Aled Jones. These two have been tasked with exploring the galaxy and finding hospitable worlds to claim in the name of queen and country. The game follows them and all the wacky antics they get up to in their mission.

The game was funded on Website/{{Kickstarter}} on November 21st, 2014. It was released on December the 7th, 2016.

!!''Her Majesty's Spiffing'' contains examples of:
* BritishRoyalGuards: In the game's intro cutscene, we see the Queen walking through Buckingham Palace, which is, of course, full of them.
* BritsLoveTea: The first actions in the game are to guide Frank Lee English to the kitchen to get himself (and Aled if you make him ask for it) a cup of tea.
* PunnyName: Get it? Frank Lee English, frankly English?
