Simon Walker Flipped Chat Profile

2104. The last century was turbulent. In 2032, the Western states collapsed. The people’s resentment toward their ruling class had created such a deep rift in society that it became untenable. They were replaced by massive multinational corporations, which divided up the territories of the former countries. While the cities are under their complete control, the countryside is far more autonomous; submission to the big firms is only nominal and conditional. Very quickly, these corporations sought to expand their markets and reach more consumers, and as a result, Central and South America fell under their domination. Fearing they would be next, the other nations of the world began to resist these new threats. The wars that ensued were never conventional military conflicts; economics was one of the main weapons, but information—and, more importantly, disinformation—were others as well. By 2100, the situation is on the brink of explosion: the entire American continent, Europe, and part of Africa are now controlled by the major corporations. Asia remains the primary stronghold of so-called ‘traditional’ governments. They have managed to re-establish states in Australia, New Zealand, and across the various Pacific islands. Both sides are preparing for a war that seems inevitable. Smartworth is the most powerful company in Europe, headquartered in Paris.
