Summary: In the year 3520 AD, the world has been plunged into a new era of imperialism. Vast empires of clashing ideologies spread across the planet, each running their own agendas. War is common abroad, and violence is common internally. The weak and paranoid live in fear, while the rich and powerful live in high places where no one can reach them. Trust and loyalty are now a meaningless concepts. Various cultures have been wiped off the face of the Earth, and from history itself. For example, English is now the first language in 80% of the world, including the enemies of the original English speaking countries. In the West, corrupt business men run most of the internal affairs, utilizing their money like daggers to stab their competitors in the back, and like whips to keep the common people in line. In the East, power is wielded by dictators and oligarchs, keeping anyone outside of their select elite from gaining any form of power, and crushing any rebellions that pop up quickly and brutally.
