Hungary (1983: Doomsday)

The influences of the past (defeat in two world wars, 'loss' of territories after WWI, the Communist takeover and the 1956 Uprising, as well as the distinctive Hungarian language affect Hungarian outlook after 1983.

Many of the surviving post-Uprising refugees from Hungary return: Dr Otto Habsburg, the heir to the throne, and an intellectual, offers his services, which are duly accepted.

Fortunately the Crown of St Stephen, returned from safekeeping in Fort Knox, has survived, and serves as a focus for national unity.
