Titan (Third Dynasty) pt.6

The Earth’s environment was slowly disintegrating in front of Australia’s eyes. The ocean was turning a dirty crimson from the active bacteria in the Enzimaë disease. A 12 -foot rubber wall had already been installed (2399) around Australia’s perimeter. Seven feet underground and five above. No one drank water that had not been boiled to the minimum temperature of 120˚C in a Steam Chamber. The air was growing thick as well and a constant Nitrogen cloud cover made sure no vitamin D made its way to human skin. People were growing hostile towards each other in such a close environment. The organic fruits and vegetables high in varying vitamins and minerals that would reduce such feeling were trampled and dead under the new population. Australia had kept its cities and major population to the coast to have the smaller farming communities surrounded by only their farms.
