British South Africa Company is a decision available to United Kingdom. One have to own Harare (id 2068), Gweru (id 2069), Mutare (id 2070), Bulawayo (id 2071), Hwange (id 2072), Masvingo (id 2073), Kariba (id 2635) and have invented Mission to Civilize. It gives Southern Rhodesia cores on all the provinces mentioned above and gives United Kingdom 10 prestige. It also changes the name of the province Harare to Salisbury and changes the name of the region of Zambezi to Southern Rhodesia.

It is advisable to take the decision unless one have unusual high militancy in those provinces, and one fear that the British armies cannot beat the rebels.
