未开化国家是指那些还没有西化的国家。 和开化国家不同，未开化国家不能通过通常手段建造工厂，不能成为次强或列强，国际排名也永远处于开化国家之下。未开化国家需要通过西化来转变为开化国家。
未开化国家拥有如下修正：
除了
奥兰治和
德兰士瓦以外，所有首都位于亚洲和非洲的国家在游戏开始时都是未开化国家；如果
菲律宾被解放出来，它会成为亚洲唯一的开化国家。在欧洲和南美洲不存在独立的未开化国家；如果
克里米亚被解放出来，它会成为欧洲唯一的未开化国家。
夏威夷是北美洲唯一的未开化国家。
科技与研究
未开化国家不能像开化国家一样研究新科技，普通的科技界面不允许选择新科技进行研究。相反，你可以把你的研究点数累积起来，直到你有足够的点数在政治界面上实施一项改革。改革界面与开化国家（政治和社会）的改革不同，未开化国家有军事和经济改革，你可以用研究点“购买”它们，只要你有足够的积累。每一次改革都会带来不同的奖励，并且每一次改革都会增加你的开化进度。你的开化进度可以在改革界面的底部看到。当进度条为100%时，将解锁“西化”按钮，点击它会使你的国家变为开化国家，并给予你等同于8个列强平均科技的科技。
开化进度在15%以下的未开化国家称为“原始国家”；开化进度在20%-50%之间的，称为“未开化国家”；开化进度在55%-95%之间的，称为“部分西化国家”。这些标签并不影响游戏，仅仅用来表明这个国家离西化有多近。
未开化国家也可以通过征服——赢得战争并夺取省份来获得额外的研究点数。一些改革增加了你可以通过这种方式获得的研究点的数量。
下面你会看到所有的改革，它们的效果和花费。请注意，表中只显示默认花费，可以通过以下方式进行修正：
- 识字率修正：你的识字率越高，改革的花费就越低。这个奖励大约是你识字率的一半，所以如果你有10%的识字率，你应该得到-5%左右的改革花费修正。这适用于军事和经济改革。
- 上议院中的保守派：上议院的保守派越多，你的军事改革就越便宜。如果上议院没有足够的保守派，这将变成一种惩罚，使军事改革更加昂贵。
- 上议院中的自由派：上议院的自由派越多，你的经济改革就越便宜。如果上议院没有足够的自由派，这将变成一种惩罚，使经济改革更加昂贵。
- 势力范围领袖的科研学派：如果你处于某个列强的势力范围，该列强的科研学派会给予你改革花费奖励。
你可以通过将鼠标悬停在带有绿色加号/红色减号的小图标上，查看这两种改革的所有修正。
