Act I

== The year is 2029. After years of political turmoil, botched foreign diplomacy, failing companies, and economic recession, the United States is at it’s worst state in history. The population is now half a billion, and the nation’s biggest cities are packed to the brim. Housing prices are through the roof, and homelessness is at an all time high. In response to American countries setting up shop outside of the plagued United States, the unemployment rate is at 11% and the government’s money is literally being sucked dry by the large amount citizens claiming welfare, food stamps, unemployment checks, and other federal benefits. == America is no longer what it used to be. It’s no longer a place that people flock too in search of a better life and the American dream. It now boasts the world’s 7th largest economy and the 4th strongest military. Water and food supplies are quickly running out while the population is rising at a rapid rate. Big business are now moving to China and Russia due to their incentives, as the United States is back to taxing at 35% to try to make up for their fiscal losses and massive debt.

President Cox’s really only wants one thing; a nation where true Americans are taken care of, and those who can afford too thrive. He really just wants to hit the reset button and find an excuse to lock up the borders, receive foreign aid, and create a new, prosperous version of the United States of America.
