Salable Description

The year is 2032. Three years ago, America was in such bad shape that President Michael Cox saw no other option other than a complete restart. His plan? Nuke Los Angeles, Las Vegas, NYC, and Dallas, locking up American borders, receiving foreign aid and using it to rebuild a new country rather than the blast sites. These cities and surrounding areas within an 100 mile radius are now quarantined, and people are not allowed to leave nor enter. Those living within the quarantined area are living under complete martial law, and are told that all the areas outside theirs are complete nuclear wastelands. In reality, the rest of the United States is rebuilding itself as a society that doesn’t rely on a few select money hubs to generate all the nation’s money. If you want out of the contamination zones and a pass into the newly formed United States of New Haven, you better be able to afford it.... and it isn't cheap.

Phase one of the story takes place in Los Angeles. The area is confined to the jurisdiction of what used to be the Los Angeles County, and all survivors must live within these borders. Los Angeles in now divided into three districts, the red district, which consists of the area between Long Beach and East LA, Yellow District, which goes from Downtown LA to Burbank, and Green District, which is everything north of Santa Clarita. The Los Angeles Forest is a the headquarters for the military forces operating in the region.

What only a select few people know is that this bombing was all a coordinated attack. With an economic crisis going on and the nation’s population becoming too large to sustain, the United States and their allies decided this would be the perfect way to lock up our borders, get rid of people, take control of the citizens, and ultimately rebuild the country from the ground up.

The plan, known as Operation Grassroots, was designed by the United States and a few select other countries. Political craziness has thrown the US into a downward spiral, now being the 8th largest economy and having a population of over 500 million. Realizing the country has relied for too long on big cities with huge populations, the plan was to take out major cities, forcing the middle of the United States of gain traction on an economic scale and also attract more people. Once the government can root out the people they don’t see as a fit for the new United States living in these large cities, they will rebuild them to be more prosperous than ever before.
