In the [[Game of Napoleon and Wellington]], in which Napoléon's French Empire prevailed in the [[Napoleonic Wars]], it evolved into a [[World Empire]] which counted the [[United Kingdom]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]] and [[Spain]] among its conquered [[nation]]s. The Empire collapsed upon Napoleon's [[death]], after which the conquered countries were discreetly encouraged by the [[Player]]s to "revert to type", splitting up into separate [[mini-state]]s, with the United Kingdom splitting into the separate [[kingdom]]s of [[England]], [[Scotland]] and [[Wales]].
