Hateful Empires

It is the year 2020. Without a world war, the big five European empires have consolidated their rule over the planet. Now that the earth has run out of nations to enslave, they turn their thirst slowly, inevitably, toward each other. Deals are made, lies are spread, and the powerless are consumed in preparation for the coming storm. But their torments are not limited to the flesh. Their national ideologies have outgrown their purpose, festering from self-serving excuses into philosophical abominations that seduce both the foolish and the wise. In this endless peace, humanity screams under the leash. Can you save someone, anyone, from this nightmare? But beware, and keep your head low, lest you become a threat to these Hateful Empires.
