Nation: France, edited to a fascist state.
This is a game inspired by a game where France plays the warmonger. The Grande Armee shall ride again!
Editor’s Note: Naturally, the document below calls into question the sanity of our beloved First consul. His claims to be Bonaparte’s reincarnation were accepted metaphorically, but it appears that he saw himself as… well, you have to read it. We found it on his beach home on Elba.
January 6, 1936
I should have conquered the world. That’s the best way to begin, of course. I would have ushered in an era of universal peace and prosperity, abolished totalitarian states, and ushered in a universal republic.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
You may refer to me as Napoleone Bounaparte, or Napoleon I.
You are doubtless aware of my struggles to usher in this era in history, opposed by the reactionary British and the despotic tsar, along with the Austrian Emperor and the Prussian military.
Little has changed.
But, of course, you are wondering about this. How is it that I arrived here, in the futuristic world of 1936?
I woke up, several years ago, in a building of metal. I have since been told it was a space ship.
“So, this is heaven?” I said. “I need to see God about a few changes.” I opened my eyes carefully, and almost fainted. Before me stood a giant bat. He later explained he was an alien, which means he was from the heavens.
“Greetings,” it said through my mind, as it flapped its wings. “I am Prufrock, head of the United Planet’s development commission. You have been selected,” and I got the distinct feeling that it had said this before, “to spread democracy and republican values across your planet. “
Finally I realized who this was. “Ah, you’re the red man!”
(Editor’s Note: Napoleon I was reputed to see a Red Man, who warned him that he would be destroyed if he did not establish the universal republic. He reputedly warned him when he became Emperor, when he invaded Spain, and when he invaded Russia.”
The bat fluttered its wings. “Well, yes. Among other things. “
”You see, we’ve been working at speeding up your planet’s developments. The first time we encouraged the Republic of Rome to defeat Carthage and spread civilization. We encouraged them to spread their ideals across the known world.”
”And?”
”And the man we chose to reform the republic conquered Gaul and his actions triggered the Empire. Then there was that carpenter in Judea,” he shrugged, “well, you know.”
I blinked. Surely Caesar hadn’t been visited as well as I…
“Anyway, then we tried it with a man from China in the sung dynasty. To make a long story short, a nascent industrial revolution was broken by the Mongols. You can imagine what the report read like.”
”And then me?”
The bat, this Prufrock, sighed. “Actually, the first person was Hoche. Then he, ah, died. Then you. We were so damn close, too. It went quite well, up until you set about putting your family on the thrones of Europe. “
The bat sighed. “Now we’re running out of time. The Russians have used Marx’s (a German, of course) ideas to set up a tyrannical despotism, the Germans have begun plotting to conquer the world, and”
”Wait a minute,” I said. “The Germans are united?”
The bat shrugged. “Yeah, Napoleon III basically was tricked into a war by a Prussian minister. To make a long story short, they occupied Paris again. Then they decided to play Napoleon,” he grinned, as much as a bat could, “and conquer Europe in the first World War.”
Wait a minute, I thought. World Wars? They’re numbered? Now, let’s be honest. A man like me cares little for the lives of a million men, but this…
The bat continued. “So, anyway, you’re going to be inserted into the French military. By 1936, you should be the leader of France.”
“Why France?”
”Well, we thought about America, but they lack the interest and willingness to start the war. The British are busy trying to hold onto their Empire, and the Italians… well, they’re Italians. “ He looked at me oddly, made a weird squeaking noise, and continued. I felt a horrible pain as information was… read into my mind. Then I understood.
