I just want to tell the story of a government. One in which a person is born without any say. One that is beginning to die. All governments around are seen as the enemy, it is hard to tell if these governments are truly enemies or if they are actually peaceful from within the government that has begun to die. The government is manipulative towards it's people and the outside world. It is also manipulative and aggressive toward it's people. In many cases, it forces it's people to be aggressive toward people of the outside world. The people who are on the inside of the government believe the government to be negative, but also believe that attacking friends from the outside world and maintaining favor with the government is better than the other way around for long term survival. As the gap between the governments power and the outside worlds power becomes narrower and narrower, it becomes increasingly clear to the people within the government, that eventually the government will callapse... and it will try to hold on to the people until it's dying breath. 

Once on the outside, the people will have a new challenge. Not only will they have to start over, they will have friends turned enemies that they put down in the hopes of maintaining favor and survival within the government.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
