=====================================
East and West Morovia [modeled after Eastern Bloc
countries/mirror E/W German divide]. Western Morovia long
disagreed with Eastern's view and want to move to a more
democratic and capitalist economic arena. Sandwiched between
Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia (sympathetic Romania ...) the
small but economically/resource rich and powerful country is on
the brink of a civil war that could end up tearing apart the
Eastern Bloc (as well as COMECON). Western Leader Alenka Voller
has not only brainwashed her people but also made the Eastern
Morovians question their own leader and progressive beliefs.
Her gaslighting efforts have made the possibility of revolt
within the East just as likely as Civil War.
"The Mops" [picture of mural at ICD] - phantom group sent in to
'clean up' and eradicate evidence. Alleged sightings, only one
confirmed sighting/confrontation by group of six teenagers on a
hunting trip in woods but only one survived so easy to
discredit. Accident fabricated.
=====================================
18th/early 19th Century America ... Snake Oil salesman actually
trying to save the settlers/pioneers by speaking truth. Truth
seems stranger than fiction due to the gaslighting done by the
Colonial governance in efforts to continue to bring people over
and push the settlements outward.
=====================================
Modern day
Knowledge is power .... No, knowledge is a liability without the
means or power to do something with it.
