There was once a time of peace and serenity, almost simplicity. That was before The Fall. You see, I live in the country of Claustrum- a large land near the Atlantic Ocean. It was once a tall and proud country, full of busy workers and simple farmers. There was schooling and everyone respected others. There was no separation nor segregation. That was before The Fall. The Fall occurred about 50 years ago, going on 51. Our country was attacked by a neighboring country, one which we are not allowed to mention. We attempted to fight back but fell into a life of poverty. Due to the attacks, anyone who even resembles that race is now looked down upon. They're called the Femus, the scum of the country. I myself am not a Femus, but I'm often mistaken for one due to my long brown hair, slender stature, and big eyes. We live on the putter edge of the country, not quite on the coast. The further from the Capitol you are, the poorer you are. Our government was once a democracy, we had a say. Not anymore. Now we have a leader, a monarchy. Things may never be the same.
