The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- During this time the British Empire became the world hegemon, developed an additional informal empire, and adopted the role of a "global policeman".
- Between 1815 and 1914, a period sometimes referred to as Britain's "imperial century", around 26,000,000 square kilometres of territory and roughly 400 million people were added to the British Empire.
- Victory over Napoleonic France left the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland without any serious international rival, other than perhaps the Russian Empire in Central Asia during the Great Game.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pax Britannica article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 33: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
