Glorious Great Game? Typical continentals, can't get anything right, it's just "The Great Game" you frivolous idiot, go back to school...oh wait, you're Prussia, you don't have any.

So, the Glorious British Empire, still basking in its glory after thoroughly defeating France in the Napoleonic war and subduing some rather excitable Indians in the North-West Frontier in the Second Anglo-Sikh war, has a lot on its plate to take in. Africa is quiet, but tensions are still high, India is rebellious but co-operative, and Burma, still smarting over the Treaty of Yandabo is looking for revenge...if it can somehow get the funds to finance it.

According to google, the bad guy in Farcry4 is the king of Burma, make of that what you will...

The early days of January 1850 see not a great deal of business, the foundations for a new coal mine are lain in Birmingham, and the export of coal and tea to other countries have further regulations imposed upon them. The Prime Minister is heard to utter the words "matter of prime importance to the survival of the United Kingdom" prefacing the word 'tea'.
A natural expedition is sent into deepest darkest India, it takes with it a mobile tea set to spread tea and tiffin to the restless natives, whilst the expedition will probably never be seen again, but it is hoped that the tea will calm the natives down and civilised them, thus bringing them in line with the Empire.

Major-General Henry Godwin, commander of the Burma Frontier force, with a tenuous hold on Rangoon.

However, Indian and British newspapers alike carry word of naval movements from the Mediterranean, Pacific and Indian theatres, and the redeployment of the 1st Brigade of Royal Marines, a Royal Engineers Corps and Sappers and Miners Corps to Portsmouth. The government has not confirmed the possibility of war, but has refused to rule it out.

HMS Hibernia, flagship of the Mediterranean fleet, commanded by Admiral William Parker, leaving Malta

Finally, a strange letter smelling of Garlic and written in an incomprehensible language arrived, thrown on a rock across the channel, our greatest scientists have failed to decipher it, so the decision is made to just smile and nod and pretend we understand what those curious creatures in Paris are doing.
