In 2020, Britain is
ruled by the Knights of God, a fascist religious order
- founded by the Prior Mordrin (Woodvine) - that came
to power during a brutal civil war in the year 2000,
during which the Royal Family were supposedly all
slaughtered by Hugo (Fellowes). Mordrin has renamed
the south of England "Anglia," while the north - which
has only now been brought under control - he calls
"Northumbria." In between is the "Wasteland", where
the remaining resistance fighters - labelled "terrorists"
by Mordrin - are still at large. Winchester is the
new capital, as London was largely destroyed in the
war.
