The Conquest of Europe by the Pacific Empire: A Fairy Tale

Artemisini, the chief warrior of the Pacific empire, and Dansgaard, his sympathetic Dutch captive, sail in a huge fleet of canoes and galleons to conquer England and its hostile neighbors. The time is the mid-seventeenth century; the Dutch had entered the Pacific Ocean and unsuccessfully attacked the Pacific empire. Adamuka, grand chief of the empire, learning from the captives that other galleons and not only from Holland, are also preparing to ransack the Pacific islands, decides to take the fight to England. The English, in disarray with wars on several fronts, plague and a great fire, are easily overcome. Artemisini and Dansgaard round up the parliamentarians and learn that the islanders can become saviors rather than conquerors. Adamuka and his council of elders plan to change the direction of English development to that of their empire—a healthy, self-sustaining and peaceful way of life that requires little work and provides real individual freedom. The success of the islanders’ plan spreads to England’s neighbors, which abandon hostilities toward one another and adopt the Pacific empire’s principles, finally uniting with England to form their own empire that they call Europe.

However, English colonists in America, who have retained the ‘old ways,’ find the new system a threat to their prestige and wealth; seditiously they plot to scuttle the Pacific system, with help from American clergy and powerful American banks. The future of Europe is in the balance.
