In the year 1700, after the Great Northern War, Prussia invaded Poland, backed by Russia and the still-wound licking Sweden, Poland stood no match, Prussia, being the leader of course took almost everything, with Sweden gaining the least, and Russia gaining a sizeable chunk of what was before under the crown of Warsaw. France and Prussia carved up the Holy Roman Empire and now Austria is invaded by Prussia, for the world is crumbling, and the Ottomans reign supreme in the Balkans...
France and England rule large chunks of the world, with Spain leading the colonial expansion, and the Africans under European rule, one might say "What I hear of their hardships, their tortures, and groans Is almost enough to draw pity from stones. I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, For how could we do without sugar and rum?" -18th century poet William Cowper NATIONS: Switzerland: @MappingHippos
