A brief History:
The Isle of Durnham lasted centuries oblivious to the changes of the outside world. A flamboyant and often ineffective monarchy ruled alongside a weak Parliament composed only of nobility. The government paid more attention to lavish ceremony and extravagant parties than it did governing. To say the people of Durnham lived in poverty is inaccurate, but they had a fairly low standard of living compared to the modern world. Their life consisted of traditions and the fishing industry, which thrived do to Durnham’s fertile bays, inlets and the deep water not far from the coasts. Durnham was a rural, pleasant country of high peaks and populated valleys. Only three cities existed on it, one to the West, one to the Northeast and another in the center… the Capitol. Their names have since been destroyed by the Dominion in its effort to eradicate Durnham’s former culture. As the modern world thrived around the Isle, its people lived in ignorance. Only the nobles drove cars and had access to hospitals, and the only airplane on the island was the royal jet. Slowly but surely, dissatisfaction among the populace grew.
Far away in a boardroom, the Chairs of five powerful international Corporations-ZeoMatrix Arms, Faust Co. Pharmicuticals, WorldWorks Mining, Global Shipping Inc., and NodTech Computers, plotted against Durnham. Led by the ambitious, brilliant, unscrupulous and exceedingly arrogant Desmond Kain, CEO of ZeoMatrix, an international arms manufacturer, these five companies planned on seizing control of the peaceful island, enslaving its populace, and utilizing all of its plentiful and untapped natural resources. All that was needed was a Revolution. Operatives working for the five Corporations, who had begun calling themselves ‘The Dominion’, tapped into the unrest of the Dunham people and organized a Revolution which forced the nobles to flee and the enfeebled monarch to abdicate. Several native influential leaders of the Revolution quickly attempted to form a Socialist Democracy, but were quickly deposed by the mercenary armies of ZeoMatrix.
The five Corporations seized the island and, within a matter of weeks, formed a police state. Renaming their island ‘New Industria’ the diabolical CEOs built massive mines, commune farms, and huge factories using the locals as slave labor. For three years the Corporations organized themselves and their new country… now they are looking for trade partners… and to expand.
Life in the Dominion:
Each city is similarly built. Vast slums and shanty towns surround a cluster of walled in skyscrapers (the residence of the rich) and enormous factories and warehouses. Each Citizen is given a work quota based on ability, and is required to fill that quota if he expects his Food Allotment. There are food, cigarette, and alcohol distribution centers scattered throughout the slums, where the poor slaves of the Corporations get their gruel.
Two laws dominate life in the dangerous, filthy slums… fill your work quota and say nothing negative about the Corporations… or risk being found and killed by the all pervasive secret police. Other than that, there are no enforced rules in the cities, and the shanty towns are free-for-alls of gang violence and prostitution.
Commune farms, which occupy almost every square inch of land that’s not part of a city, are even more hellish than the slums. There each action is scrutinized by the brutal Overseers and Corporation Police, and not filling your work quota ends in torture.
The rich, on the other hand, live lives of isolated bliss in the center if the cities. The wealthy occupy skyscrapers surrounded by fortress like protection and receive the best healthcare, food, and education money can afford. But even they are not exempt from the secret police, every day members of the upper class disappear in the night for saying things even slightly negative about the Corporations.
