'We are Progress and the New Age. Nothing can stand in our way'. When Oxford-educated Emperor Seth succeeds to the throne of the African state of Azania, he has a tough job on his hands.

However, with the aid if Minister of Modernization Basil Seal, Seth plans to introduce his people to the civilized ways of the west — but will it be as simple as that?
