"Great Britain has roared into the 19th Century, rapidly becoming the first industrial nation. The massive empire is kept afloat by the labour across the globe. However William IV is close to death and who knows what sort of era the new monarch will usher in."
Great Britain, formally the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, is a 
Great Power in Northern Europe. Great Britain begins as the most industrialized nation in 1836, and has an extensive colonial empire, with subjects and colonies on every continent.
Near the start of the game, the Hanoverian Succession and the Opium Wars are issues which confront Britain.
Historical Background[edit | edit source]
As the leader of the victorious coalition against Napoleon 20 years prior and as the premier industrial economy on the planet, Great Britain begins at the greatest power in 1836. Great Britain's overseas empire is extensive, owning Malta, much of the Caribbean, Belize, Guyana, the South Atlantic Islands, Newfoundland and all of Ireland. In addition to this, Great Britain has numerous subjects. In Africa, 
Sierra Leone and the 
Cape Colony are colonies of Britain. 
Canada and 
Australia are split among different colonies of Britain in 1836. However, they typically federalize as the game progresses. In Germany, 
Hanover starts as a British subject in a personal union with Britain, however this personal union breaks with the crowning of Queen Victoria. The rest of North-West Germany, including 
Hamburg and 
Bremen, are inside of Britain’s market in the historical Steuerverein. The true jewel in the crown however is the 
British East India Company and its numerous Princely States vassals, who carry most of the Indian subcontinent in the British market, though the 
Sikh Empire, 
Kalat, 
Makran, and 
Sindh are free from Britain at the game’s start.
