Londinium Winter 92AD. In this dialogue, the "Emperor" (the U.S. President) is chastised by King Charles III for disparaging the British military, leading to a swift reversal by the American leader. Germanicus argues that despite the 18th-century revolution, the U.S. never truly disentangled itself from Great Britain, eventually inheriting its imperial role and institutions. The speakers note that American elites retain a deep, nostalgic reverence for the British monarchy, often viewing the U.K. as a cultural font similar to how Rome viewed Greece, though they observe that modern Britainstruggles to defend its borders and identity.
