Legacy
Centuries later, E.U. General Gene Smilas hoped to succeed where Napoleon had failed and become Emperor of Europe, believing that the dictatorship of one skilled man would be more beneficial for Europia and save it from the corruption and money worship of the E.U.'s capitalist elites as well as the expansion of Euro Britannia. However, like Napoleon, Smiles would ultimately fail.
