The divergence between the storyline and the real world is sometime in the 19th century.

A scientist named Dr. Hebbel, referred to as " The Great Genius ", discovers a wide range of scientific breakthroughs, including fusion and nuclear power, genetic engineering, computers, space travel and countless others.

With these technologies the British Empire quickly conquers the Earth, and he is regarded as a god by everyone on Earth, even to the point where when he speaks out against Queen Victoria she is overthrown and he is chosen to lead.

He institutes a variety of radical reforms, bringing humanity up to modern societal standards ( e. g. multiculturalism, sexual freedom, equality ).

He disappears shortly before the game begins.
