pity i didn't know that before hand...

Luckily my empire was in a perpetual state of financial growth and I have already quadrupled the amount of cash I received from the 'trade' of finances in less than 10 years.

Also the Spanish no longer exist... revenge is a dish best served cold

Unfortunately, my annihilation of the Spanish has brought some unwanted attention from the Senate who have decided that they don't like me as much anymore...

Civil War appears to be approaching...
