No. Oh man, that would be cool.

Ok, here's some more-

Britain

Goals- to be all Britain-like. But in all seriousness, to maintain and expand it's empire.

Strengths- Large industrial capacity, cheap labor pool, world's greatest navy, professional army.

Weaknesses- Not many. It's army is small, but professional. There's a bit of trouble with the Zulus and the Irish.

Friends- The CSA, the Freemasons

Enemies- The USA, the Zulus, the Irish, the Germans, the Reckoner.

Organizations They Control- Scotland Yard, The Royal Navy, the Army, various this and that on their own steenkin' island. The Suez Canal, Canada, India, Australia, South Africa, the Gold Coast.

The Reckoner Connection- There's various creepies crawling around- Jack the Ripper, the Cackler, etc. Their hills have a potential for abominations unmatched for a while.

Area of Influence- Britain, Ireland, India, bits of Africa, Canada, bits of the Carribean.


I would make an entry or Mexico, but there are too darn many factions. 

It's pretty neat that real Deadlands authors think this is cool. Real encouraging.
