The Holy Brussels Empire: Episode 1

Chief Regional Administrator Blair of the Republic of Brittania has taken a trip north to the Kingdom of Scotia to meet with Chancellor Dewar.

Chief Regional Administrator Blair, we are honoured by your presence. How goes the war against the rebelious Anglo-Saxons?

Ah, Chancellor Dewar. It is good to be back in the motherland again. Some of the Anglo-Saxon tribes are becoming tiresome but I have installed Primus Harriet Harmanus to deal with them.

Primus Harriet Harmanus? Are you sure that is wise my lord? She is not best known for her diplomacy.

Worry not Chancellor, I have engineered a distraction with the help of the Praefectus of Gaul, General Chiracium. When they least expect it we will unleash a legion of Europa Constitutium Centurians to bring stability to the regions.

A cunning plan my lord. There is one other matter my lord.

Yes Chancellor?

Well my lord, the new ampitheatre in Ediburghium has proven a little more expensive than we thought and we are a little short on funds. We did consider levying a new tax on the people of Scotia but thought it more prudent to relieve the Anglo-Saxon regions of some hard earned cash.

An excellent proposal. I will instruct Lord Barnettus to send more funds immediately. Legate Brown, send word to Londinium at once.

Yes my Lord.

All: Ave Brussels!
