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.
