Another Brit wank, great

! I think this is possible. But it cannot succeed if Great Britain alone is the 'core' of this empire. You need to find a way for Britain to unite with all her dominions and colonies (including the USA) in the early 19th century. Better still, before the Napoleonic war.
This way, Britain's financial, industrial, and military power will be amplified without diminishing or diluting her culture in any significant way.
'Greater Britain' would have the strength to simultaneously rule China and India by the mid-19th century. China would be easy, boot out the emperor, bribe the mandarins to administer China on behalf of Britain and give Victoria the dragon throne.
Then during the 1860's and 70's annex all the remaining parts of Africa, pissing all of the European powers off in the process, but who cares?
Build up economy in the late 19th/early 20th centuries through mass production and the exploitation of the massive export market which Britain controls.
France and Germany try to take on Britain around 1910 but get thrashed along with the Ottoman empire. Britain forces France and Germany to disarm, bankrupts them through reparations and takes their overseas territories.
After the war Britain controls most of the world's oil supply and trade. She can destroy any nation's economy through embargoes and blockades.
In 1918 Britain invades Russia and destroys the Bolsheviks and reinstates the Tsar as a puppet monarch.
Britain will not rule the entire world directly but will control most of its economy and later she will explode an atomic bomb and not permit other nations to posess them.
That felt good
