Peace, providence and prosperity. The delicate treaties holding the people of the world united hold strong. War is a near-forgotten entity in this most tranquil of times. Technological achievements and medical advances are commonplace among the more developed nations whilst the more culturally-orientated regions simply relax and soak in the serenity.

Destruction, desertion and death. The once-revered nation of Britania decimates Europe and the world is left forever scarred. Any resistance is quickly annihilated leaving little to be done except run. Gathering in Asia, a rebellion begins plotting vengeance. Emissaries are despatched secretly to every corner of every remaining nation, seeking a coalition to destroy the Britanians.
