Britons make no secret of their prejudice, a crass attitude that makes diplomacy difficult. Foreigners are, quite simply, just not very good at anything, be that running an empire or making a decent pie. Its people are seemingly devoted to making money and disliking foreigners in equal measure. Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy, a nation of free trade and personal liberty. In addition, Cyprus is an excellent staging point for attacking Ottoman lands. Capturing Cyprus, however, gives France a valuable region as well as a large cash reward from completing its associated mission.

Any French ships that are caught by the British navy in the open water runs a high risk of being destroyed. The French can attempt to invade Cyprus, but this is a very dangerous feat: the sea is patrolled by the British fleet, which has much more ships than the French can muster. In stark contrasting to the Ottomans, Bedouin and Mamelukes, the British field superb line infantry and artillery, making them a serious threat to the French. They control the island of Cyprus, from which they can attempt to launch invasions of French regions.
