New Independence Day – April 23rd 2076 After fifty years of persecution under the cruel dictatorship of President Blair, a revolution has succeeded. The people of the New United Nations of the World (formerly known as North America) rejoice in their freedom. In the old capital, Washington DC, there are nonstop parties in the streets for weeks. The continent of North America has banded together, forming the New United Nations of the World, in order to prevent an atrocity such as Blair from ever taking power again. The future for the New United Nations of the World is promising, and there is a massive influx of immigration to the continent from all over the world. People everywhere want to be a part of this new government. Instatement Day – June 2nd 2076 In place of the dictatorship of Blair, an oligarchy government is formed. The power of the super-nation is placed in the hands of a board of ten men known purely as The Board. The people of the New United Nations of the World are in a frenzy for these men. The new government is promising and virtuous. It is the dawn of a new era for North America. Legislation Day – August 12th 2076 Since the instatement of the new officials, the government slowly gained control. On this day, August 12th, The Board is passing a bundle of new legislation that will set the New United Nations of the World on the path to greatness. Every television on the continent is set to the government sponsored channel; every eye is focused on The Board as they announce the new laws to be passed. And slowly, as the program runs, every resident of the New United Nations of the World is running from their television sets, packing everything they own, and making a wild last-ditch effort to escape. But they’re too late. All airports, train stations, docks, even bus depots have been handed to the government and new law enforcement officers guard the doors, prepared to shoot down anyone who tries to go against them. The New Legislation: -All government power is to be placed solely in the hands of The Board. -All immigration to and from the New United Nations of the World is shut down, and all means of exiting the continent are closed to the public. -All citizens deemed unfit will be placed in federal correction institutions until there are stable enough to handle mainstream society. -All children will be educated in government sponsored facilities. -All males over the age of eighteen will be placed in special training facilities for government and/or military training. -Anyone who denies these laws, or any laws put in place by The Board will be cruelly and immediately executed. This story takes place in the Erie Correctional Institution, a facility filled with citizen’s deemed unfit for mainstream society. It is located in the middle of Lake Erie, on a metal rigging half a mile over the water. The people there used to be the best, the brightest, the strongest, the most willful citizens of North America. In order to prevent any future uprising, The Board has placed all of those they suspect intelligent or powerful enough to lead the super-nation against them in these facilities scattered across the continent. Once there, they are injected with a substance that makes them believe they are mentally unwell. The residents are unaware of the falseness of the illness, and fully believe they deserve to be placed in these institutions. Little do they know, a cure exists. And it’s closer than you would think. Resident File: Name: Age: (no younger than eighteen) Gender: Illness: Reason for institutionalization: (what made the government put them there. Are they intelligent? Creative? Powerful?
