| Description: | Select Guide Rating When Oxford-educated Emperor Seth succeeds to the throne of the African state of Azania, he has a tough job on his hands. His subjects are ill-informed and unruly, and corruption, double-dealing and bloodshed are rife. With the aid of Minister of Modernization, Basil Seal, Seth plans to introduce his people to the civilized ways of the west. ''We are Progress and the New Age. Nothing can stand in our way.'' |
