The year is 1849. The year of the Great Thneed Rush. Millions of Lukes traveled to California to mine for thneeds that the ancient Oncelers left in the earth. Rich Randalls now dominate the east coast since the poor Lukes left. Although Descoles had lived in the land to the west for thousands of years, American Bronevs ran them out of their camps to make way for westward expansion. The president, Hershel Layton, sent a scout group of Henrys to discover land to the west. They all died. Eventually, the Lukes returned to the east coast and vicously slaughtered the Randalls, opening up lots of job and puzzle opportunities. Very soon, the world would end. And it did, Turbo and Turbo, from the Canadas found the United States of Puzzles and slaughtered all; taking over the country and putting both the countries out of order...for good.
