The story begins in 1550, when Queen Elizabeth ascended the English throne. You enter the game as an ordinary salesman, the owner of a small and insignificant business company. As you are ambitious and feel your chance with the arrival of the new queen, you will go up the political and social ladder. You gradually gain influence and wealth as you stand beside the queen's throne, as her counselor. Gloriana is one of the historical economic simulations and offers many possibilities to achieve the set goal, which are based on historical realities. If you are of a wild nature, you can become a pirate in the game and gain wealth as a pirate. However, you can also choose a calmer way of moving through your business company, with which you will gradually dominate the market. How you influence the political figures of that time in your favor will also remain up to you. You are 38 years old to build a private political and business empire, the game ends in 1588 when the Spaniards invade English ports.
