Description:

1901 onwards is a mostly �free form� role-playing game in which the
players take the role of a national leader.

Queen Victoria has left behind an Empire �upon which the sun never sets�.
Britain rules the world, but for how much longer?  Germany seems to grow
stronger and more ambitious every single day.  A bitter France yearns for
the chance to regain her lost provinces.  Italy dreams of ancient glory
and desperately reaches forth to claim a place in the world.  The Austrian
Empire slowly starts to fall apart under the weight of its various ethnic
groups even as it hungrily eyes the Balkans.  Russia struggles to reform
and modernise whilst beset by famine and rising anarchy.  The Ottoman
Empire is decrepit and dying, it stumbles into the new century with little
hope.  The United States of America has suddenly emerged onto the world
scene, a young power it is full of vitality and hope.  In the Far East
Japan has emerged after decades of intense modernisation.

Now is your chance to shape the 20th century.  What decisions will you make?
