"What vast plains!" King George V couldn't help but exclaim while touring the Mure River Basin with Arthur.
Though the United Kingdom had many plains under its rule and there were plains even better suited for development than the Mure River Basin.
But the problem was that the plains of the Mure River Basin in Australasia were on their native land, while the plains better suited for development by the British were in India and other colonies, where they first faced the threat of colonial rebellion.
Despite the British Empire controlling a large number of colonies, as the monarch, King George V was clear that only with the strengthening of his native land would the country become more stable.
Though the current strength of the United Kingdom appeared strong, a significant part of that was due to contributions from the colonies.
If the United Kingdom were to lose most of its colonies, the power it could retain might not surpass that of the current France and the United States.
