My name is Dan. I live in Chicago, IL, in the year 2075. America Is ruled by an empire called the United Republic. they have a council of 50 people, rather then one ruler. In Chicago, there is a wall separating law abiding citizens, which live in a high class community, and on the other side, there are criminals, gangsters, drug dealers, and scavengers.
