Introduction
This will simply make it easier to work out what you need to Keep the dominions under you if you decide to go Fascist or Communist as the UK and take the Move To Secure the Dominions focus. This is very useful for a One Empire run as you can complete the Imperial Federation, as once the Dominions are switched to Fascist they become Puppets, which is closer to Integrated puppets.

This Guide does not factor in using Colonial troops (Troops taken from the dominions), and only uses the standard Infantry Template. Colonial troops can be used to lower the amount divisions you need to make to secure the dominions. So the total Manpower needed is the manpower the UK would need to field all of the Divisions at once.

Each Province listed requires the number of manpower after the lists, the divisions after the Number is the total to fill each listed province using the standard British Infantry Division (9600 manpower per division)
Canada
Manitoba, saskatchewan, alberta, british columbia, new brunswick, nova scotia. 9600 (6 Divisions - 1 Each)
Saint Lawrence 28800 (3 Divisions)
Ontario 48000 (5 Divisons)
Total: 14 Divisions
South Africa
Cape 19200 (2 Divisions)
Natal, Transvaal 48000 (10 Divisions - 5 Each)
Total: 12 Divisions
India / British Raj
Peshawar, Sind, Punjab, Kashmir, Rajahsthan, Gujarat, Lucknow, Indore, Bombay, Jabalpur,
Hyderabad, Mysore, Madurai, Madras, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal, East Bengal, Assam,
Arunachal Pradesh, Mandalay, Burma
9600 (22 Divisons - 1 Each)
Delhi 96000 (10 Divisions)
Total: 32 Divisions
Australia
Western Australia 9600 (1 Division)
Queensland 19200 (2 Divisions)
Victoria 38400 (4 Divisions)
New South Wales 48000 (5 Divisions)
Total: 12 Divisions
New Zealand
South Island 9600 (1 Divison)
North Island 48000 (5 Divisions)
Total: 6 Divisions
Total
Total Divisions Needed: 76
Total Manpower Needed: 729600

All of this is correct in version 1.7.1

needs to be updated as South Africa now needs 1 division on the Orange Free State as well as what is already in this guide

only think this guide needs is how much PP it will cost you to do martial law everywhere + the fasho campaign at once

You can get away with 50-ish divisions plus what you can demand from the dominions.

Each dominion inf gives you about 0.9 of what you need, and each cav gives you 0.25. It's easier to send the inf to stack on the capital provinces and get the rest of the way with one or two of your own divisions. The cav needs 4-5 to equal the manpower of 1 inf so you basically have to stack them all on one province, so probably easier to ignore them.

you can also use training and Service Overseas to get 10 or so xp which means you can drop two more infantry into your divisions to get you over the line if things are tight.

@Ešina you have to place the divisions in each province on a fallback line, as you may know

@HeadBasher666

Doesn't work; it won't correctly distribute units (Dehli, for example, where you need 10)
and some states that ned units don't have VPs to defend (EG; Saskatchewan, Canada)

Anonsy I think you just have to delay doing the political tree

this is so much cancer getting every single division in every single province in a timely manner, even getting it ready at game start I still had to use console commands to teleport divisions at the last second.

just do "area defense" w/o selecting defending coastlines cuz that is dumb
