Mrs. Europe freed herself centuries ago from submission to the Feudal Lord who had dominated her for a thousand years. Influenced by Copernicus, Galileo and Descartes, she married Mr. Modern Liberal and set up house in the Democracy neighbourhood.
Mrs. Europe withdrew her support from the nobility and from the pope and elected constitutional governments which exchanged barter for currency, avoided making use of slave labour and transformed former rural workers into wage deserving labourers.
Mrs. Europe began to have immeasurable ambitions. She envied the huge world map which hung on the wall in her living room. How many riches in those lands inhabited by ignorant natives! How many arable areas covered by the exuberance of its paradisiacal nature!
