King Alfons I is the first and current King of Spruitland.


The life of the first King of Spruitland, King Alfons I, was tainted by a childhood trauma – an inability to eat Brussels Sprouts made that young Alfons rarely got to savor dessert. As a young bio-engineer, this trauma would dominate his life. Continuous efforts to enhance the flavor of the Brussels Sprout lead to an ingenious cross between Brussels Sprouts and the Cannabis Sativa (hemp) plant: the Spruit ™.

When setting forth for the unknown with a cult of followers and landing on an uninhabited island, the settlers aptly named it Spruitland.

The Spruit ™ is Spruitland's major export product, along with traditional Brussels Sprouts.


A statue of King Alfons I can be found at the center of King Alfons Square in New Brux

Passenger Liner

The "King Alfons I" is also the name of a luxury passenger ship, named after His Majesty. It's a large diplomatic vessel without any military capalities. It has never been used by King Alfons himself (His Majesty gets seasick), but is occasionally used by Spruitland VIPs or Government members on diplomatic missions.
