Great Britain is a formable country, and can be formed by any nation in the British culture group. Located in the British Isles, it does not exist in any start date until May 12, 1707. Due to it requiring quite a few provinces from Scotland and England, both of which are western, decently developed countries, it is usually fairly strong when formed.

Many who play England decide to form Great Britain, and so it has unique late-game troop models, as well as various special missions and decisions. It does not, however, have missions for war against France, one of the contrasts to England, to which it is quite similar.
