Welcome to Yurope; the Old World. A continent of ancient cultures risen into great modern nations. The year is 1936 CE and humanity has advanced beyond all recognition; electricity is now harnessed as a source of power and the sheer forces of nature itself are being turned to human endeavour. But as ever with the rise of great nations comes the rising threat of war; much of Yurope is controlled by small, weak nations, blessed with natural resources and ripe for the plucking. The great nations look outward with jealous eyes and dream of what could be theirs; a new Yuman Empire perhaps, spanning the Mediterranean and Western Yurope; or perhaps the rebirth of the Holy Yuman Empire of Charlemagne. Who can say? Only time will tell, and war, war never changes.
