Hi, I'm writing a sci-fic story that takes place on Earth and is in the future hundereds of years from now. In the story the world ( as in contrys and such) are the same ( America is still America etc.) However, the only new contry is Acka, which is a combnation of Europe and Russia.
Ok, I need help with why they are self-sufficient, and why they have upheld it for hundereads of years. I didn't want to write this, so, I just copied it from my storie. My main character, Dr.Ember, tells about the history during an assembaly.
"A long, long time ago," began Ember. "There was a ruler, Astrid, that promised poverty stricken Russia riches like the rest of the world. She also wanted a country that was self-sustaining, thinking that this was best for her people. So, she did just that. Astrid combined Europe with Russia to creat a single large country that was named Acka. They wanted to be independent, and independent they were. For decades, Acka was doing well like the rest of the world-rich, wealthy, powerful. Everyone was proud of Acka. If anything, their wealth matched Americas' for a short while. Due to their new ruler, the economy was booming. New nuclear, as well as lumber industries were springing up. There was a wide spread mining for Uranium. Science was flourishing and new technologies were being invented. Acka even invested billions into exploring new planets and even began to create space hotels. Soon, vacation was no longer confined to Earth. Everything went well, until the economy crashed due to the country being too self-sustaining, as well as investing too much money into science and technology. The land became filthy and polluted due to the prospering industries as well. Astrid was obvious to this. As an result, this combined with the brutal harsh winters caused massive and widespread starvation. What little food was grown, failed, and Acka was officially plunged into the misery of poverty. Due to this, Acka begin to abhor America and all of the other country's because of wealth and all that followed. Also the idea of being self-sustaining and independent had been past from president to president. They want-no-demand more power. No wonder why Acka is nicknamed 'The Nuclear Country.' Now, they want to wage nuclear war over this. Acka keeps a stockpile of nuclear missals in their capital, Phee, which is up in the mountains."
Any help? Can I also have help with explaining and how about to go about the poor econemy, please. Yes, I suck at the political stuff. Also, any idea's on why soldier's would be stationed in Acka ( in book one one of my character's, Ally Read, her father is oversea's in Acka. ) However, war has not broken out because they need some of Ember's inventions to wage war. Having said this, spies are in America gathering information/trying to get Ember. And I also build up the threat of war a little at a time, as in, I give a bit of infromation in book one, more in book two, and everything in book three. I want a reason as to why they are stationed in Acka when when war has not borken out.
I SERIOUSLY need help with this, please.
And any good idea's for a president death. I want the death of Reeese Wolfsfeild, who is the goverment of Acka to die. But I want it to be a good death and somthing that makes the reader fell a bit sorry for her and feel like " That was right." She cares about her contry greatly and hates America ( What contry dosn't hate Amerca because we have EVERYTHING!) however, she allowes the harsh treatment of political prisonors and she bombs the U.S. Embassy on " accadent" and takes them prisoner and extracts them for information.
Thanks for helping.
P.S. my story has to do a lot with science and not just war and such incase anyone was thinking it.
