Prologue

In 2025, according to the American Community Survey, 61% of the population in Genesee County, Michigan under the age of 18 lived under the poverty line as well as about of 34% of families.

In 2024, Detroit couldn't use the water from Detroit Lake anymore due to Chromium 6 and Lead poisoning and the price for clean water rose 220% compared to the previous year, which nobody could afford.

This was followed by a mass exodus of Detroit residents into the surrounding suburbs, turning the once 20th wealthiest county in the US into a hub for homeless.

The result was the largest, what the media dubbed 'white flight' ever in Michigan.

The election of Bernie Sanders 2024 as president of the US, taking office from Nancy Pelosi who was voted in after both Pres. Donald J. Trump and Pres. Mike Pence were impeached for alleged collusion, resulted in protest turned street riots in red states that got cracked down by increasingly militarised police forces causing sanctions form various Ex-EU countries as well as Russia and China.
