(Play this as you read for a little ambiance.)
2038 was the year we decided that we'd really and truly been screwed over. Took long enough right? We detached ourselves from the central government, and that was our first mistake. We hadn't realized it for a while though. Each state became it's own governing body with the local leaders now bumped up to the head of the state. Everything ran smoothly for a while. Everything held together and not much changed. Soon as an election rolled around though, we truly became divided. Different states started adopting different ruling systems. Some stayed the same but many turned to systems like communism or theocracies. A few states just went into anarchy with people fighting to come out on top and own the land. Not too long after, nations across the sea took advantage of the disunity of the former nation and took over the governments for themselves. It all basically breaks down to Asia owning the western coast and Europe taking the eastern. The lake states defected into Canadian territories while the mid-west gained more population than ever with people moving there to farm and build. Texas is basically holding a big middle finger to everyone and blocking itself off from everything. The bandit states reside mainly between the mid-west and the eastern coast with some still barely hanging on to the structure they had before leaving the central government. That's the basic map but it's always changing. Wars between states happen fairly constantly whether funded as a proxy war or gangs trying to expand. It's chaos. You can go to sleep one night in your home state and wake up as part of your neighbors state. It's 2053 now, hopefully we can find some unity somewhere or at least a way to secure ourselves.
The basic idea is to be part of a group somewhere in the states trying to gain or keep power. Alternately, we could be just a group trying to survive the chaos. If you're interested, tell me what you would want to do, most votes will win I suppose. Give me a location/setting and an orientation i.e. trying to gain power.
This is an idea off the top of my head so there's definitely a lot of holes in this idea as of now. Anyway, let me know what you think.
