The world is run by people who have lots of Power in the mobile game Rise of Kingdoms. Those who have a higher power number than others in the game can do whatever they please. The most desirable partners are people who have high power ratings. Those who don't have the mobile game or are low in power are treated as second class citizens. No person or nation ever resolves things with violence or words anymore, just by shoving their Rise of Kingdoms power number in each others faces.
