Maths innit.

Say the average person lives for 80 years. There is only a 20 year window where they will see only one century so 4/5 people will see 2*

The resulting Empire wide power struggle will end with the last of the Eskimos hiding in the Ice fields of the Arctic slowly dieing of radiation. Sad but true.
