在1936年,就人力、面积和自然资源而言, 英属印度(British Raj)是最大的国家之一。但是,他们仍然是 联合王国的傀儡国,他们的命运不可避免地与英国的命运联系在一起。
历史背景
英属印度是英国东印度公司零碎吞并印度诸邦的结果。在1857年一系列叛变失败之后,英国政府从BEIC(英国东印度公司)手中夺取了印度的控制权,而英属印度的诞生,使得维多利亚女王被授予印度皇后的头衔。现代的印度,巴基斯坦,孟加拉国和缅甸于1936年成为英国统治的一部分。尽管某些领土,例如拉杰普塔纳邦(Rajputana)由英国宗主国独立管辖,但出于游戏目的,它们已在统治者的总体控制下被抽象化。
第二次世界大战期间,英属印度派出了整场战争中最大规模的志愿军,并用它来遏制日军进军印度洋,并制止日军从缅甸进入印度次大陆。而英帕尔战役是一次至关重要的胜利,阻止了 日本军队从被占领的缅甸进军。但是,战争对印度人民而言并非没有后果,因为战时对军队的需求往往取代了任何关于平民问题。就像孟加拉国发生大规模饥荒归咎于英国拒绝向该国运送食品,而倾向于将这些食品运往欧洲和非洲战区。
战争期间,不同的团体争夺对当时蓬勃发展的印度独立运动的领导权,英属印度统治在政治上遭受了打击。穆斯林同盟(Muslim League)和印度国民代表大会(Indian National Congress)不同意支持英国的战争努力;最终,英国政府同意在战争结束后考虑印度独立。 英属印度的最后一位总督路易斯·蒙巴顿(Louis Mountbatten)于战后仅仅两年——1947年离开。

National focus
British Raj's national focus tree.
英属印度, along with other nations of the British commonwealth, gets a unique national focus tree as part of the Together for Victory expansion. Without the expansion, the British Raj utilizes the Generic national focus tree.
英属印度的独特国策树主要有三个分支:
- 省级选举
- 专注于获得独立并改变英属印度虚弱的民族精神。
- 大战之诫
- 专注于扩军,建立空军力量并获得精锐步兵师。
- 大印度半岛铁路
- 专注于建造基础设施、海军船坞并获得额外科研槽,并可解锁削减农耕社会民族精神的决议。
Technology
The British Raj starts with the fewest technologies in the Commonwealth, lacking any tank or naval technologies whatsoever.

The Raj starts with only 2 research slots. It can get a third quite quickly, but can't unlock any more until becoming independent. However, with Together for Victory it does get access to technology sharing from being in the Commonwealth. Becoming a dominion will increase the maximum cost reduction to -50% from -25%.
Politics
The British Raj in 1936 is beset with communal divisions between the Hindus and the Muslims, and the Burmese in the extreme east outright rejects any affinity with the Raj, insisting that they are a separate nation that was unreasonably incorporated into the Raj by the British only because of geographical proximity. In the game, this is represented by the states of Peshawar, Punjab, Quetta, Baluchistan and Sind in the west, and Mandalay and Burma in the east being classified as occupied states, which significantly reduces the amount of manpower, resources, and industrial capacity the player can utilize from these states.
National spirits
With the Together for Victory expansion enabled, the British Raj starts with the following national spirits in both the 1936 and 1939 scenarios. Otherwise, it does not start with any national spirits and the ones it gains are dependent on the choices it make in the generic national focus tree.
Princely States
- Daily autonomy progress gain: -0.1
Agrarian Society
- Recruitable Population Factor: -69%
The local administrators believe that their agrarian lifestyle has made a large part of the Indian population simply unfit for military service or warfare of any kind. They maintain that we should only recruit from the so-called "martial tribes". This belief is so wide-spread and well-entreched that it will require at least a generation to overcome. For the foreseeable future, we must accept that they would simply ignore any order to draft farmers.
The Indian system of food production is very fragile. Even a small interruption might cause a collapse.
Princely States and Marginalized Muslim Community are automatically lost on becoming independent peacefully (including the more beneficial versions of these traits unlockable via focuses)[1]. Princely States and Risk of Famine are also removed if India becomes communist or fascist[2]. Agrarian Society can't be removed.
Diplomacy
With the Together For Victory expansion it is now possible to leave the Commonwealth. India can choose to join the Comintern or Axis via the Swaraj branch of its national focus tree. This will lead to a civil war which will be backed by its new allies.
Political parties
In both the 1936 and 1939 scenarios, the non-aligned Indian National Congress is the ruling political party in the British Raj with Lord Linlithgow acting as the Governor-General and Viceroy of India with overwhelming popularity.

- Industry
- Although the British Raj starts with a total of 14 civilian factories, 1 of them is unavailable at game start due to insufficient compliance. All in all, it has 47 free slots, enough to build up a much larger industrial base.
- Resources
- The Raj starts with significant reserves of rare earth minerals and enough steel and oil to field a sizeable force. Note that since its tungsten reserves are entirely located in Burma and Mandalay, both of them occupied states, only a fraction of tungsten is available for use at game start.
Military
In 1936, the British Raj starts with a small and under-equipped army, as well as a small air force. It does not possess a navy. Due to its starting national spirits vastly reducing its recruitable population, it only has a total manpower of 353.41K, of which 99.00K is tied up in the army, and 1.60K in the air force, leaving 252.82K available for recruitment.
