Modern Warships: The Old Sovereigns

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Many people believe they are controlled by corporations and governments - that they hold all the power, and that in high places, the "global elite" decides the fates of entire nations and countries. Of course, many also believe in the power of arms. But real power doesn't rely solely on force and certainly doesn't reveal itself to the masses. True rulers manage everything through more subtle means and approaches: trade, agreements, secret conspiracies. Not only will the global elite not be allowed into this "closed club," but they won't even be aware of its existence. By a twist of fate, a young detective discovers a strange series of minor incidents that haunt him. He begins his investigation and stumbles upon an organization whose interests extend to literally every corner of the globe and permeate every sphere of power. Behind the organization's wealthy members stands someone very powerful, and this individual will do everything to ensure that they and their followers continue to invisibly control the entire course of human history.
