Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
    O any thing, of nothing first create!
    O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
    Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms,
    Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,
    Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
    This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
    
    -William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
    
    In the 23rd century, after a great nuclear war instigated by Tharizdun, the embodiment of natural order, Man, the defier of natural order and the Melkor of history, tries to recreate a One-State society led by the resurrected Julius Caesar. But all the same ... as the European populance reacts to the Roman destruction of democracy and divided cultures, they become desperate, and try to free themselves of Man's natural faults which the Roman society is based on ... by following the demonic legions of Tharizdun, but perhaps, just perhaps, one's demon is an angel in another man's nation.
