* '''Aspects:''' Fifth Wave
The Kingdom of Spain has enjoyed external peace for
over a century, but internal peace has been harder to come
by. The worst disturbances have usually come from the
small Basque minority, which has frequently engaged
in violent resistance against the central government.

The worst incident of the unrest came in 2042,
when Basque terrorists released a “war plague”
across northern Spain. The terrorist strategy apparently
aimed at paralyzing Spanish security forces,
allowing the Basques to declare their independence.
The bioweapon proved to be more virulent and contagious
than planned. Civilian casualties were high, and
the plague quickly spread outside Spain to kill thousands
elsewhere. The Spanish military immediately began a concerted
campaign to wipe out Basque terrorism, with the
support of the world community. The “Basque War” which
followed was marked by atrocities on both sides, and ended
with the forcible disarmament of the Basque minority.
Some regions in northern Spain are still effectively occupied
by the Spanish army.

Like [[Italy]] and many of the nations of eastern Europe,
Spain has suffered significant population loss in the course
of the 21st century. Since the 2030s, Spain has deliberately
encouraged replacement migration with an unusually
open immigration policy. Several million of today’s
Spaniards are first- or second-generation citizens, having
immigrated from [[Africa]], the [[Middle East]] or (ironically)
Latin America. As a result of this immigration, Spain has
avoided the tension between
Church and state which
reached crisis levels in Italy.
Meanwhile, Spanish industrialists
have invested heavily in
robotic technology and artificial
intelligence. Today the
country produces some of the
most sophisticated [[cybershells]]
and [[infomorphs]] in Europe.
