Kingdom of Spain

On the western shores of Cuba, the capital of the viceroyalty of new spain shines like a greedy candle sputtering in a smoke choked room. Here in Havana, brightly painted stucco and lush palm fronds mask the corrupt whims of the overcrowded metropolis. Aristocrats, politicians, and puppet masters pull the strings of a dying kingdom, their threads woven from subterfuge and propaganda. Fortresses armed with countless cannons guard an impenetrable harbor where seasonal treasure fleets amass before transporting silver, gold, and ASH back east.
