Well, it is said in History classes all empire's enter a climax phase where, at the end of it, they sacrifice something internal in the name of longevity. As an example, look at the romans, at the end of their highest age, they decided to hire outside forces for protection; making loyal romans jealous.
For Wikia, it appears it was there Monaco skin. Whether they were high on their own nostalgia or their good times, corporate arrogance, or whatever; their new skin has exposed their internally rotting empire, and now we watch as it breaks apart into fragments, succumb to invading forces (spam) and ulitamilty foldin on itself.
