Our rightful sovereign gone. Apathy prowls the land. War has left us crippled. Some scars are here to stay.
Tensions between the last two nations left will soon burst. Conspiracies. Drafts. Sabotage. All unseen to the naked eye.
Screams in the night herald the death of us. We're not the future. Just what's left.
