Brennan's+Future+Earth+Story

In the year 2100 the planet Earth has changed. The weather may be the only thing unchanged. People still wake up to see the snow sprinkling down, the rain pouring from the sky, or some other weather spectacle. They also enjoy the sun and appreciate some clouds that provide shade. Of course, nobody really likes when fog, hail, or thunderstorms appear.

There used to be 100’s of countries on this planet. Today there are two countries. The United States has ownership of both North and South America. Additionally, it has territories where the continent of Europe and Australia used to be. The other country left is in control of the rest of the Earth. This country’s government is unknown.

In 2025 the Third World War began. The cyber war started when a virus penetrated the Chinese and American militaries’ nuclear computer systems. The virus launched the missiles at the two countries. The war ended with the United States capturing the person who created the virus. His identity was never released. The war caused America to take over the governments of the countries it now possess.

The Chinese government collapsed after the war. There is a rumor that the government had regain control secretly and is slowing rebuilding. It is currently impossible to enter any territory that is not owned by the United States. The reason being that the area is so contaminated and that anything near it will blow up into pieces.

The United States has been trying to figure out a way into the hazardous area for the last 50 years. They have invented many different vehicles, but all of them have failed. They have also created many tools to destroy the hazardous materials in the air. All of these tools have failed.

The United States has solved many other problems though. These problems include unpaid taxes, illegal immigration, the nation’s debt, the usage of illegal drugs, over crowded prisons, and all traffic related problems.

Some of the weapons the United States created are invisible f16’s and reusable grenades. The United States also built bomb shelters in every state. They also built anti missile defenses near the borders of the original 50 states. They also have built special radar towers near every city with more than 100,000 people.

The United States has added new laws after the war. One law that is very controversial is not being able to leave the United States’s territory. People live in the unknown government’s territory. The United States doesn’t know how. They believe that only the borders have this toxic material in the air. The reason it is a controversial law is because it prohibits U.S. citizens from leaving the country. This creates the feeling that the government is leaning towards totalitarianism.
