Chapter 1: Prologue

For many years, the world of Fictiontopia was filled with mysteries and wonders. There were many countries with different cultures. In ancient and old times of Fictiontopia, one of the strongest countries and civilizations on the world was the Disney Empire. This empire was among the largest countries and had many different peoples. Ruled by the magnificent and wise tsar Mickey Mouse and his council, the Disney Empire rose to prominence during it's time. The tsar was viewed as a god by his people and he also controlled the religious affairs in the empire. It competed with other countries like Toonpolis and Nipponichi on being the leading country in the world. However despite this, the tsar and the council were known for their autocratic rule over the empire's society. Most of Disney's theatrical and classical characters were peasants who lived in extreme poverty on many farms. The only characters that enjoyed prosperity were the loyal imperials, live-action characters, cartoon characters and, Disney Animation cgi characters. When the industrialization came into the country, most of Disney's cities were transformed into hubs of activity. Railways were built and factories were established attracting a lot of new workers.

In fact, Tsar Mickey had plans for the country's future. In order to compete with the likes of Toonpolis and Dreampix, the tsar and his council sought to modernize the empire after a new industry. However, they refused to democratize the country. Unlike most other countries in Fictiontopia, a secret police monitored the citizen's behaviour in the Disney Empire and they clamped down on any who demanded reforms that were considered threatening to the government. Meanwhile, while the country became industrialized, it went relatively slow compared to Dreampix or Toonpolis. As the upper classes, celebrities and imperials got richer, the poverty grew rapidly. However, this was only the dark beginning of Disney's shocking change.

During the Toon War, Disney was at war with both Toonpolis and Comiccon. The background for this war was because of Tsar Mickey's desire to expand his territories in the west. He also sought to acquire the many oil reserves in the Marvellous Sea (which at that time was contested between Disney, Comiccon and Toonpolis). However the empire made its biggest mistake by launching a double-attack on both the Comicconians and the Toonpolisians. This made the two nations settle their rivalry aside and launch a counterattack on their common enemy: the Disney Empire. They fought against the Disneans on the Eastern Front. Their armies were mobilised and the tsar himself left for the front to lead his troops on the battlefield. But what he underestimated was the military strength the more advanced armies of Toonpolis and Comiccon. The Disney Empire was technically less modernized and organized compared to their adversaries. The army lacked leadership and Disnean troops were often sent to the front without weapons. It did not take long before the troops refused to follow orders from the generals. They abandoned the front and went home. Back in the villages, towns and cities of the empire, large riots and strikes took place. During winter, a terrible famine descended upon the empire. Many of the classical and theatrical characters starved to death. The enemies of the imperial family gathered together in different soviets. These soviets were councils formed by angry and disillusioned workers and peasants who resented Tsar Mickey's rule. They all discussed how the society of Disney needed to return to its roots. In the spring, peasants and lower classes protested against the autocratic rule of Mickey and his council. In the capital city of Eisnergrad, a dangerous bloodbath took place in the streets. There are claims that Empress Minnie ordered the Imperial Guard to shoot down the peaceful protesters. On the next day a new protest took place in the city, but this time, the Imperial Guard joined the protestors and ousted the empress and the council's rule. Tsar Mickey, who was already facing difficulties on the front, realised that reforms were needed and decided to abdicate in favour of a democratic council formed led by Scrooge McDuck. However, this new council was just as greedy and autocratic as the tsar was. Furthermore, the new leadership failed to put an end to Disney's costly war effort. Most Disneans were desperate of their enemies nearing their homes.

In October, the aspiring Disnean revolutionary Phantom Blot returned to the empire after many years in exile. He had dreamed of creating a society dominated only by theatrical and classical characters. The cgi characters, live-action characters and cartoon characters were considered inferior compared to them. Most of his thoughts were inspired by socialism and communism. Already in October, the Red Disneans staged a revolution against the democratic council by force. This force was created by Phantom's second-in-command Mortimer Mouse. After finally ousting the imperial loyalists, Phantom and his followers relocated the capital to the city of Igerburg. He made peace with both Comiccon and Toonpolis and founded Fictiontopia's first communist state: the Union of Disney People's Republics or Disney Union for short. During the early years of Phantom's rule, all characters associated with the previous rule were forcibly removed. The leader also made sure that the incredible wealth of the McDuck Family was shared with the peasants and workers. Tsar Mickey and his family had escaped from Eisnergrad, but their whereabouts were unknown. Most of his friends pledge loyalty to the Red Disneans in fear of being sent away to exile. This new society was much comfortable than the old one. But the socialists waged a relentless campaign in order to destroy the remaining symbols of the tsar's rule.

The leadership of the Disney Union was composed of Phantom Blot and his 9 followers: Mortimer Mouse, Maleficent, Hades, Ursula, Jafar, Captain Hook, Big Bad Wolf, Madame Mim and finally Pete. They all were members of the Communist Party of the Disney Union. However, Phantom's health became troubled and he died only a few years after Disney Union was founded. This left a question on who would succeed him as the Premier of the country. The most likely candidates were Mortimer Mouse (Phantom's favourite), Maleficent and the party's general secretary Pete. Pete was known to clash with his colleagues in the past, especially Maleficent and Mortimer. His ideals were totally different from theirs. While Mortimer and Maleficent clashed with each other, Pete began gathering up his followers for his rule. After many power struggles, Mortimer was forced into exile. Pete had managed to build up his influence in the party But Maleficent was still in Pete's way of gaining the mantle of Premier. She and her allies were constantly harassing him and opposed his ideas. That's why Pete decided to eliminate his political foes, once and for all. He started the so-called Igerburg Trials, where Maleficent and her allies were accused of conspiring against him and his leadership. This resulted in many of them being executed for treason. Pete had finally managed to get rid of the popular ones. The only party members who pledged their loyalties to him were Big Bad Wolf and Madame Mim. However, the death and exile of his enemies left many vacant seats in the Communist Party. Pete's most cruel and ruthless allies gained important seats in the party thanks to him. They were Claude Frollo, Bill Sykes, Percival C. McLeach, Lyle Tiberius Rourke, Dr Facilier and Cruella De Ville. They had all supported Pete against Maleficent and her followers. Now they were all part of his inner circle in the Disney Union's rule.

During Pete's years, the whole country went through a fast industrialization and collectivization. The government made sure that the economy was controlled by the state. The new Red Army of the Disney Union was modernized. Pete's authoritarian rule led to large encampments being constructed and enemies of the state were all purged. But Pete had dreams of expanding his ideology of "peteism" outside Disney's borders. He ruled out planning a invasion of Toonpolis or Comiccon. Rather, he became interested in the Disney Union's northern neighbours: Dreampix.

The history of the realm of the cgi characters remains a mystery. Legends tell that they were all created by their leading god-figure: Man in the Moon. He was a celestial being sitting on his crescent moon while fishing and watching over the cgi characters. They worshipped him as their eternal god. For many years, the cgi characters lived in warring duchies that all had their own customs and traditions. The two largest duchies were Dreamworks and Pixar. The Pixar Duchy had their original roots from Disney, but they rejected it and sought to carve a life for themselves in the north. One day, two leading statesman from the Duchy Woody and Buzz Lightyear approached their Dreamworks rivals and came up with a proposal. What if the two warring duchies sat aside their differences and united the other duchies under their banner. If a cgi nation was crated, then they would stand better against any future enemies. The Dreamworkers was more than happy to oblige.

The combined armies of Dreamworkers and Pixarians began their unification of the cgi realm by military strength. While uniting their people they fought brief wars against their neighbours: Toonpolis, Disney Empire and Segendo. The combined strength of the cgi armies was unbreakable. Duchies like Blue Sky, Illumination, Sony and other smaller lordships gathered under the Dreamworks-Pixar banner. This resulted in the creation of a cgi kingdom: Dreampix. Both Buzz and Woddy became important statesmen for the cgi parliament created along with the monarch. The Royal Family of Dreamworks became the rulers of this new nation, which enjoyed its nationalistic pride. They ruled from the majestic capital city of Farawaypeaks. Both the parliament and the Monarch had equal power in politics. This city was filled with green fields and snow-covered mountains. Most of the terrain in Dreampix was green hills, large forests and wonderful mountains.

The Dreampixans had good diplomatic relationships with both Segendo and the estranged realm of Nipponichi. Segendo admitted that attacking them in the past was a grave mistake. Both Segendo and Dreampix became close allies. The industry of the cgi kingdom rose and they quickly became modernized.

But in recent years, Dreampix has an enormous fear of an invasion from their southern and aggressive neighbours: the Disney Union. Between their borders, the cgi Disney characters have founded their own independent rule. Dreampix consider them to be Disney, while the government rule in Disney rejects all computer generated characters. From his throne in Farawaypeaks, King Shrek fears the communisms expansion to their borders. As the Red Disney Army are aggresivley developing radical new weapons, the cgi charactres have prepared to do the same. The only question is: what will become of this cold confrontation. This is the story of the Feature Film Wars.
