Description
The Habsburg Empire, one of the oldest and most powerful monarchies in Europe, extends its vast empire from Hispania to Pannonia, flowing into the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The Royal Family and circles of power have demonstrated their ability to maintain control through shrewd political and military alliances, enforcing a rigid social and political structure. The inflexibility of the system is seen as a symbol of stability and continuity, despite the despotic control of the social and economic monopoly over the most impoverished classes. The effects of the French and Prussian revolutions resonate in the deepest corners of society.
