Spanish Kingdom (in advance SPK) is an old historical country of Europe. Traditionally it has had many conflicts against all major powers in the region, being one of them back on the period of centuries XV-XVIII. Now in the present SPK is playing a catch up role to be again in the level of the biggest nations in the zone, but many years of international isolation make it a hard work. Politically the nation hs reestablished itself as a parlamentary monarchy, with a King that can assume full control of the nation in case of war, state of exception or any other big national emergency, having limited powers in a peace situation. The King follows the historical line of the Trastámara house, being represented now in the figure of Demon I, Deo Gratia Hispan Rex.
