«Fortress» is a series of stories about characters whose lives and decisions affect both each other and the world around them. It all takes place at the ends of XXI century, mostly in the megacity Fortress. Here's its history: In the year 2038, a civil war has broken out in the United States. Because of America's weakening in the political arena, China and Russia began to strengthen their positions in Europe and Asia. Eventually this escalated into a large-scale international conflict and led to World War III. Fortress is a megacity built in the heart of post-war Europe. It is a huge area encompassing Amsterdam, Brussels and Cologne. Thus this area is the intersection of three countries at once - the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, which was the ideal place to build a new capital for the newly formed superpower - ONE (United Nations of Europe), which included all the countries of the former EU. The city was built from 2043 to 2052 and by the early eighties it was home to some seventy million people. Huge waves of migration from the USA and all over the world, climate refugees and the elite of society striving to enter the "new old world" made Fortress a truly multinational city where only some surviving historic buildings from Amsterdam, Brussels and Cologne reminded of European history. 100% of text was written by me.
