A recession hits and Alias finds himself unemployed. In search of a job, he steps into the boots of a spy for the kingdom of ‘Wantobe’. King ‘Upmyself’ and his subjects aren’t very creative or ingenious, so they rely heavily on espionage for their industrial and military development. Corruption is rife, needless to say; shortcuts are taken in all fields of industry. The information Alias steals from the republic of ‘Advancealot’, leads no further than to the production of inferior copies of goods and machinery.
Adjacent to Wantobe lies ‘Incompetenca’, a kingdom which is mismanaged by his Majesty, the narcistic Sun King ‘Poleuparse’, who is considered a Deity. Incompetenca is a large, backward, hermit kingdom with utopian ambitions. The king hires Alias to act as a double agent and spy on Wantobe, which he has a kind of ‘Love/Hate’ relationship with.
Thanks to Alias’s outstanding efforts, Incompetenca soon manufactures vast quantities of commodities, which are incomplete copies of inferior copies. To make it worse, morale among the underpaid workers is low and work ethics are non-existent. The king’s delirious vision to rule the world is shattered when their guns back-fire, planes drop out of the sky, missiles explode at launch, and his navy’s ships sink. He accuses Alias for providing false information and sentences him to death. Alias manages to escape back to Wantobe, where he meets the same fate, this time for treason. Fortunately, he finds just enough time to step back into his own shoes.
