Spanish

“Let's see whether a different leader can write a less tumultuous version of the history of the Spanish empire...„~ When entering new Era with this culture

“Keep an eye on the Spanish. They aren't just devout believers, they're devout believers with a mission and troops to carry it out.„~ When meeting this culture

The Spanish are one of the cultures available in the Early Modern Era, with the Expansionist culture focus.

"The truths that galvanize the Spanish to cross the great oceans are that the world is full of natural riches to be excavated and religious converts to be found."
