The Year is 3090

The year is 3090.

What was once Australia and New Zealand is decimated, and a free range jail for the worst of humanity is what remains.

The days of prison are over. The condemned live free on the continent, encircled by the largest man-made enclosure ever constructed—visible even from well beyond the moon. The new Earth Law will cleanse these lands every fifty years for the sake of sterilizing those with “sick genes” as a rightous act of population control.

Earth is now a tropical desert steeped in pollution and ruled by the conjoined forces of China and the great United States of America.

The destruction of New York city laid the foundation for a world wide revolution. Millions died after the atomic bomb named,The Manhattan Target, detonated. Global commerce palpatated like an ill heart for decades only to emerge from the rubble with an alliance that flourished and gained control.

To many made a fool, Earth Law has yet to achieve peace—a resistence has risen from The Fall of Russia.
