Life in the Dark Nation
In stark contrast to the thriving and harmonious Light Nation, the Dark Nation operated under an entirely different set of rules and expectations. Lucifer, with his combined might from the Supernatural series, Hellblazer/Sandman, and the Nine Circles of Hell, ruled the Dark Nation with an iron fist. His dominion was vast, stretching across 24 jurisdictions and 8 sectors, each filled with chaos and treachery.
Unlike the citizens of the Light Nation, who thrived under the benevolent protection of the One Above All, the inhabitants of the Dark Nation were bound by fear and subjugation. The overlords, although powerful in their own right, were little more than slaves under Lucifer's dominion. They held sway over their domains but were always under Lucifer's watchful eye, their power a mere extension of his will.
Lucifer's subjects lived under constant threat and oppression. The overlords, despite their formidable powers, were compelled to enforce Lucifer's commands without question. Any semblance of freedom or autonomy was an illusion, as Lucifer's reach extended into every corner of his dark empire. The overlords, though feared and respected within their territories, knew they were but tools for Lucifer's grand designs.
Within the Dark Nation, certain creatures roamed freely, untouched by Lucifer's direct control. Floods, Necromorphs, Xenomorphs, and an array of zombies—from The Last of Us, Dawn of the Dead, Dead Rising, 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, World War Z, House of the Dead, Resident Evil, Left4Dead, Dead Island, Pet Sematary, Evil Dead, Train to Busan, Days Gone, Dying Light, The Girl with All the Gifts, The Battery, Wyrmwood, Pontypool, Evil Within, and Z Nation—wandered the streets. These monstrosities, alongside Darkseekers, Dinosaurs, Dragons, Phoenixes, Cordyceps-infected beings, and Titans, were left to their own devices, creating a constant state of chaos and danger.
While these horrors did not directly concern Lucifer, they added to the atmosphere of dread and survival. The inhabitants of the Dark Nation had to fend for themselves against these threats, constantly on guard against infection and predation. For the overlords, immunity from these dangers was a small mercy, yet they still faced the monumental task of maintaining order within their realms.
In Sector 1, under the command of Jason X, the streets were a macabre tableau of relentless violence. Pyramid Head, Slenderman, the Creeper, Mr. X, Nemesis-T, and Murphy from Z Nation enforced their brutal rule, each with their own twisted interpretation of Lucifer's decrees. The inhabitants lived in perpetual fear, knowing that even the smallest infraction could lead to their doom.
Sector 2, under Leatherface, was a landscape of horror. Freddy Krueger and Jigsaw crafted nightmares and deadly games, their domains rife with despair and terror. Survivors learned quickly that trust was a rare commodity, and alliances were often as dangerous as enemies.
Sector 3, led by Ghostface, saw the ruthless enforcement of order by Papa Jupiter, Three Finger, Captain Spaulding, President Snow, Ava Paige, Father from Equilibrium, and Ernst Blofeld. Each brought their own brand of tyranny, ensuring that Lucifer's influence was felt in every corner.
In Sector 4, Samara and Sadako's chilling presence dominated, with Count Dracula, Gravemind, Jack Ferriman, and Billy Michael adding layers of horror. Sector 5, governed by Chucky, featured Blair Underwood, the Night King, and Morgoth, each lording over their territories with an iron grip.
Sector 6, under M3GAN, housed the Architect from the Matrix, Skynet from Terminator, the Old Man from RoboCop, Erwin Smith, Historia Reiss, and Darius Zack. Their domains were a dystopian nightmare, where technology and tyranny intertwined.
Sector 7, ruled by Michael Myers, was a wasteland of survival, with Immortan Joe, Aunty Entity, and Lord Humungus battling for dominance. Each jurisdiction reflected the brutality and savagery of its overlords.
At the heart of the Dark Nation, in Sector 9, Lucifer reigned supreme. The Nine Circles of Hell served as the capital, a nightmarish landscape where terror and torment were constants. Terry Silver's presence added a layer of strategic cunning, making Sector 9 the epitome of Lucifer's dark ambitions.
Despite the chaos, there were pockets of resistance and moments of defiance. Some inhabitants dared to dream of freedom, quietly plotting their escape or overthrow. Yet, for the majority, life in the Dark Nation was a ceaseless struggle for survival, a harsh reminder of the price of power and the depths of human (and inhuman) cruelty.
The One Above All had placed an impassable schism between the two worlds, ensuring that the entities of the Dark Nation could never cross into the Light Nation. This barrier was absolute, providing the citizens of the Light Nation with complete safety and peace. In the center of the border between the two realms stood the Court of Judgment, where those from the Light Nation who committed heinous crimes would be judged. Lucifer, ever the accuser, sought to bring sinners into his dark domain. Yet, the One Above All, merciful and just, offered repentance and forgiveness. Harvey Specter stood as the defendant lawyer of the Light Realm, ensuring that every accused had a fair chance.
In this stark dichotomy, the Light and Dark Nations stood as reflections of each other, one thriving on unity and prosperity, the other surviving through fear and tyranny. The future remained uncertain, but one thing was clear: as long as the One Above All reigned, the Light Nation would remain a beacon of hope amidst the darkness.
