Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The comics do not reveal the origins of the Yellow Empire or how Basam Damdu came to power. It is simply explained to be an expansionist power with the strongest army and most advanced weapons in the world, including a nuclear arsenal "capable of destroying the world in a few hours". At the opening of the novel, the Yellow Empire has been fighting a cold war against the free world for three years; in the first few pages, it launches a massive surprise attack against its enemies. Within a few days, the world is overrun, leaving Basam Damdu ruler of a global empire. Through military occupation, and with the help of fifth columnists in every country, the Yellow take all necessary measures to bring the world completely under their boot. They also organize a system of concentration camps in the Himalayas, where foreign scientists, political prisoners and others are imprisoned and forced to work for them.
