Lakeland used to be an extravagant town of rolling skies, dense forests, and clear, glistening lakes. However, after a disease strikes the area, ushering out the majority of surrounding population through migration or death, a small sect of leaders are left in charge. These leaders entirely reform the government, the workforce, the social conventions, the way of life.
Living in the Lakeland dystopia is like playing the lottery- a birth lottery. It's all about the skills God gave you. The gifts you are born with affect the rest of your life, for better, or for worse.
