{{version|Heart of Darkness}}
The '''Great Powers''' are the eight most powerful [[nations]] in the [[Victoria 2]] world, as decided from their [[Total score]], the combined [[prestige]], [[industrial score]], and [[military score]]. Uncivilized nations cannot be Great Powers no matter how high their score is, nor can nations with only one state.

Being a great power offers a nation several benefits. Only great powers are allowed to:
*Gain and spend [[influence]] in [[secondary powers]], [[civilized nations]], and [[uncivilized nations]], potentially gaining first-access to the majority their market.
*[[Foreign investment|Invest]] in a lesser nation, gaining first-access to a portion of their market.
*Take part in a [[crisis]], either as a leader of a side or as a participant.
*Intervene in wars.

Compared to uncivilized nations, great powers have some advantages:

*{{green|+0.05}} [[prestige]]/month (amounting to {{green|6}} prestige pr. decade)
*{{green|+1.5}} [[research points]]/day
*{{green|+100%}} [[diplomatic points]]/month
*{{green|+2}} [[leadership]]/month

If another nation usurps a great power's status, that state will have one year to recover its position before losing its [[Sphere of Influence]]. If all these efforts fail, then the usurper will become a Great Power and the former power falls to secondary status. A nation can neither lose nor gain Great Power status if it is a current participant in a crisis. 

[[Secondary power]]s are the eight next most powerful nations, who are able to [[Colonization|colonize]] but do not have the ability to form spheres of influence.
