Hmm interesting you do not think that they'd consider dividing the territory up to make it more manageable?
It's already divided up, Prussia won't be run by the British government, it have its own.

Hmm very possible would the drive for The German unification happen?Would the nation be called Prussia in this instance? The house of Hohenzollern originally ruled the duchy of Brandenburg and acquired the duchy of Prussia by marriage. Might the German part of the empire end up called the United Kingdom of Prussia, Brandenburg and Hannover (not necessarily in that ordher), later on possibly turning into the Kingdom of North Germany/Lower Germany (Königreich Plattdüütsch?) after some of the minor statelets have been pressured to join.

Would they not attempt to merge the three together?It would be called Prussia because it was a kingdom, Brandenburg was a Margraviate, while Hanover was a Duchy.

Okay they'd likely be a mad power house
Aye the pod was that Fred and his wife ascend the throne in around 1730/34I love the idea of an Old Fred TL and hope to find a good one sometime.
For Friedrich to inherit you must wipe out the growing numbers of Hanoverian, while keeping the influence on the Prussians for a long time low. No POD before 1711 (to let Fritzchen being born oldest surviving boy) and no heavy change before the flight attempt / Katte incidence of 1730 or Fritz will not be recognisable. Best to have Caroline suffer birth complications in 13 (Princess Caroline) or 16 (Stillborn son) witch negates future births, this leaves Frederic, Anne, Amelia and maybe Caroline to kill later (but before they multiply or unable to do it).
The Amelia marriage is more intriguing and easier to pull of. Freddy only being King Consort and needing offspring to secure the Union (if a younger sister of Amelia has surviving issue). To let the marriage proposal to go through, just have the Austrian ambassador suffer some illness during the negotiations.
For Amelia to inherit in 1760 only the fate of her brother William and here nieces and nephews by Frederick and Anne must be altered. If you want here to inherit earlier George II, Frederick and Anne must also be considered.
Considering they now have a big ally I don't think parliament would complain too muchWhoever it is they get, they better not try bringing their troops to the British Isles without Parliment explicitly asking for it. And perhaps Bradenburg starts getting a Hanseatic leaning? Might be a bit too competitive for the British, but might morph things if the British decide that they have the world trade at their back, so who cares if the Germans expand in bringing more raw goods form Poland and Scandinavia in order to make more ships for the British?
Parliment has their own priorities. Namely keeping their own commercial and ruling class prosperous, not being tied down on mainland Europe in wars of expansion for Germans, as well as not having a massive German army coming over to take charge of things.Considering they now have a big ally I don't think parliament would complain too much
That is true. And with how Fred and his family were they are definitely going to butt heads on the matterParliment has their own priorities.
