Following
unprecedented climatic changes, resultant pestilence and war brought the world
into chaos. Eventually, each nation surrendered its sovereignty to form a
global democracy, initially known as The Accord. However, the democratic
government proved too weak and was soon replaced by a faux democratic
rule.
The year
is 2073, and current governor of Western America Province, Edwin Rowlands, is
poised to become the Constitutional Government’s second president. Many fear that
the sweeping reforms found in his proposed Preservation Act will set him up as a
dictator. If enacted, defection both past and present would become a crime
punishable by death, thus bringing all outlands into crushing subjection.
While
most believe reform is critical, factions disagree on how to prevent the
Preservation Act from becoming law. Ahmed Farid, second President, believes
reform can be managed within the existing government. Leader of the
Revolutionary Army, Jimmy Kinnear, trusts only in military intervention.
However, Jacob Goodayle, Chairman of Western America’s illegal outland
government, favors separatism.
As
tensions rise, civil war seems imminent. Who will be the voice of reason in a
world on the verge of a third dark age?
