United Kingdom
<- Back to Nations
There's no question that the first World War was hard, and neither was the aftermath easy - the British Empire saw the loss of Ireland. The Great Depression. Strikes and uncertainties and hunger.
But, for all that, the sun is not setting on the British Empire. From Canada to South Africa to east Africa to India to the British Isles themselves there's still a common vision - or at least a single king.
With all that territory, and with perhaps the greatest navy the world has ever seen, there are privileges and there are responsibilities. This new war will smash against the limits of both.
This nation is part of the Allies at the start of the game. They are the largest navy in the world, with ports across the globe to protect their vast empire. They enjoy positive relations with the United States and other democracies, and are the leading allied power at the start of WWII. Nations conquered by the fascist powers often set up governments-in-exile in London.
