The once mighty United States had crumbled into a shadow of its former self. Skyscrapers that once touched the sky now stood as hollow shells, gutted and abandoned, looming over sprawling slums that stretched as far as the eye could see. The streets, once bustling with life and commerce, were now filled with makeshift shelters, garbage, and the sickening stench of despair. Power-hungry politicians, blinded by greed, had drained the nation dry, selling its future for their own gain. In the final years, their obsession with control had led to the slow erosion of freedoms that once defined the country.
Free speech was among the first casualties, as dissent was outlawed, disguised as measures to "preserve order." Then came the assault on the right to defend oneself—citizens were stripped of their arms, leaving them defenseless. In the absence of these basic rights, the borders became porous, allowing gangs to flood in unchecked. They quickly took over, seizing control of neighborhoods, towns, entire cities. The country had devolved into lawless territories, where the strongest ruled and survival meant submission or violence.
Without leadership, without the ability to speak out or protect themselves, the people were abandoned. The gangs became the new government, and lawlessness the new order. The America that once promised freedom had become a wasteland of chaos, fear, and powerlessness.
