UK (short for United Kingdom) is a rich, urban Island Country. It has a cold, humid climate, and is near France, Spain, and Germany.

In the Necroa Virus DLC, if the player starts in this country, a popup can appear saying that PfiGlax, a pharma company, created the Necroa Virus as a means to cure AIDS. The player can trigger the story by evolving Saliva 1 and Segmented Genome within the first 70 days.

The events of the origin story of Stonehenge, part of the Shadow Plague DLC, take place in this country.

Country Information[]

IG Factbook: "The United Kingdom has historically played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith in the 19th century, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two world wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council and a founding member of NATO and the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy. The UK is also an active member of the EU, although it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999. The latter was suspended until May 2007 due to wrangling over the peace process, but devolution was fully completed in March 2010."

Tips[]

  • The UK has a weakness in-game apart from its seaports and airports.
  • If you are planning to play the Mirror Earth scenario this is one of the best places to start, It is a 3rd world nation and being the fact that it is humid which means they do not have quality healthcare. also have a lot of links through foreign countries.

Trivia[]

Main Game[]

  • Before 2016, in the UK there was an event called The London Olympics (then the Rio Olympics, and now the Tokyo Olympics) can cause an infected population of a couple hundred if at least Drug Resistance 1 is evolved soon enough after a message that formerly read "London Olympics back on!"
  • Another event called "Brexit" was also implemented in this country, which is about the UK exit from the European Union. This has four possibilities to finish: Soft Brexit, Hard Brexit and Brutal Brexit are the end of the event that if we follow the instructions of these achievements.
    • The player will cause the UK to close its ports, airports and land borders, if we infect approximately one million people in this country. The last end is No Brexit, which if we do not intervene in this event, UK will cancel the Brexit and nothing will happen out of the ordinary.

Scenarios and Cure Mode[]

  • If the player starts in this country in the Fake News scenario, the player can unlock the Loch Ness Monster achievement, which refers to a popular legend in Scotland.
  • There is a random event on Cure Mode about a man named Clive Tomlison from Ipswich, England in which he proclaims himself to be the "King of Toilet Paper". This event is achieved if the global priority is between 8 and 20. In addition, the percentage of deaths in the world must be more than 0.002%. Additionally the percentage of infected in the UK must be more than 0.001% and also the percentage of deaths must be more than 0.1%.

Board Game[]

  • In December 2019 the Armageddon expansion for Plague Inc. The Board Game was released, in which Tomorrow's World cards were introduced for some countries,[1] among them, a card was added in which this country is no longer considered part of Europe due to Brexit[2] in addition to the fact that the country's cities are different.

Misc[]

  • Even though the UK owns Ireland in the base game, achievements show the UK without Ireland.
  • In various news headlines it is said that "The computer games industry is growing in the UK" and "Fracking also may become legal in the UK", although this doesn't affect the game.
  • At the end of 2022, several news headlines were added to the game as a joke referring to various events that had happened during that year in the UK, these include:[5]
    • "Heatwave lets British 'enjoy boiling water straight to the tap'" - This makes a reference to the heat waves that affected different parts of Europe in the middle of 2022, in which one of the countries that were impacted was the United Kingdom.
    • "Prime Minister glitches through Number 10, beats UK speedrun record in 45 days" - This is a reference to the government of Liz Truss, whose office lasted only 45 days as prime minister of the United Kingdom, making her the shortest-serving prime minister to lead the country.
    • "UK 'elect' lettuce as new leader" - This is a reference to the British newspaper The Daily Star, which during October 2022, made a livestream in the form of a joke in which a lettuce was shown next to a photograph of Lizz Truss
