The implementation of general theoretical principles in grand unified gauge models often appears to require the introduction of very large numbers of particles. This paper has discussed the effects of such very large gauge models on the very early universe. It has shown that in many cases, the evolution of the very early universe can be significantly altered. In some cases, the generation of an adequate baryon asymmetry appears to place quite stringent constraints on the complexity of gauge models. The precise form of these constraints should be investigated in detail for any specific very large grand unified gauge model.
