** Ferdinand VII of Spain also counts.

* AlternateHistoryWank: Ironically, but [[spoiler:in spite of losing the Napoleonic War]], the British Empire ends up being one. With the fall of [[spoiler:Portugal, the UK takes her former ally's colonies including the resource-rich Brazil under her control and taking over French-aligned Argentina and the Guyanas]], as well expanding into India. Thus the British have [[spoiler: not one but [[UpToEleven two]] crown jewels, Brazil and India]].

* RealPolitik: strongly applied to slavery. Due to the lack of steady supply of slaves from Africa harming the valuable West Indies[[note]]the Caribean, which is taken over by Britain[[/note]], Britain relents and allows for "local" slave trade, which largely means absorbing surplus American slaves.

* GovernmentProcedural: the timeline takes a focus on British politics under a monarch less willing to use royal patronage or get involved in the day to day act of ruling. [[spoiler: For a majority of George IV's rule the British government was either lead by Charles Fox and Pitt the Younger]].

* ExpandedStatesOfAmerica: America fights an earlier war with Britain in 1810, resulting in the annexation of [[spoiler:Upper Canada[[note]]Ontario[[/note]], seizes the British claims to Vancouver and establish settlements in California, Hawai, New Zealand and Australia]]. However this is not an AlternateHistoryWank, as thanks to American support for [[UsefulNotes/TheMexicanRevolution the Mexican revolutionaries]], Spain declares war to the US. [[The Spanish navy, in spite of being the laughing stock of Europe, overpowers the American one. In the end, Spain retains Florida and Southeast Mexico, while America gains California and the rest of New Spain become independent nations]].

* EvilReactionary: the Duke of Cumberland, whose heavy-handed leadership [[results in Ireland becoming an independent nation a century earlier]].

CivilWar: after the death of King George IV, Britain suffers a small one between "King Frederick", the dying former Duke of York supported by his heir, the Duke of Cumberland, and the late King George's son with Maria Fitzherbert. See UnexpectedSuccessor.

PompousPoliticalPundit: Charles Fox is an interesting case, as he much preferred to be in the Opposition, where he could make up catchy slogans and drink himself into a stupor in a tavern. However once he become leader of the government he finds himself in a harder position of having to push legislation through the parliament.

RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: subverted with George IV, who is lazy, indolent, spendthrift, gluttonous and a womanizer that is clearly unfit to rule.
SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Brazil is not a British colony, it's a ''protectorate''.
UnexpectedSuccessor: The Duke of Sussex, 6th son of George III, against all expectations, takes the throne as King Augustus.

AwesomeButUnpractical: basically describes Napoleon II idea of creating great lakes in the Sahara.

** It is heavily implied that the political, economic and cultural influence of Britain will turn [[Brazil into a Canada in steroids]].

** Ireland [[becomes an independent kingdom]].
