It’s 1750. Both Great Britain & Spain have fallen into a state of despair. Philip of Spain is dead, and George II of Britain has gone mad with the disease porphyria. Louis XV of France remains the only suitable monarch of the “Big Three”. In Britain, a new leader, Lord Wellington, begins to take power from George, the developing “dull” despot.
