THE continent has Charon. That is the name given to the scorching heatwave producing red alerts across much of Europe. It is called after the ancient Greek ferryman of the deceased, who rowed souls across the rivers Styx and Acheron into the abode of the dead.

The capital has Brian Fenton. When this game was a game, he brought a fervour Monaghan found unbearable.
