Returning to the dangling plot threads of the actual story that got hijacked by a long and pointless subplot that completely derailed the whole story. China's still a big threat. Britain's still got not-at-all-veiled alternate history steampunk technology. And now, they're going head-to-head! Awesome! No, wait: they went head-to-head. While we were paying attention to the decline and fall of the Portuguese (re: Spanish) Empire, which was less of an empire and more of a democratic republic since they apparently had a president-- Britain and China were having all of their fights.
WHAAA--?
So, while we weren't paying attention, China had gained occupancy of several British (really Swedish, German, and Polish) cities. Warsaw and Danzig from Poland, Stockholm in Sweden, and Berlin in Germany, if you really must know. However, Britannia have managed to hold most of the Oriental forces back, since they've probably got steam-power jet packs and stuff. They themselves, in their fight against the Chinese forces, have managed to themselves advance to occupy the central European cities of Sarajevo, Budapest, and Zagreb. These cities ostensibly are part of the Catholic Empire, but it's not like they put up much of a fight, exactly who owns what cities is kind of arbitrary in this universe and anyway I said we're through with those guys.
Now all of the action is taking place in a Chinese-bombarded Vienna. It's holding up strongly, with the help of French support. China is back 9 Risk troops, whatever that may count for, and Britannia has been put back no troops. I guess they just used Catholic mooks as shock force human shields or something, to whatever extend we are in fact apparently no ignoring the existence of the Catholic Empire. Or it could be the steam-powered weaponry. Yeah, that's probably it.
And so, that's the backstory for whatever the heck that was.
