The Beginning

At the beginning of the 21st century, everything started to go wrong. Wars were started with no end, the rich were seizing power with buckets of cash. The death of hope. Walmarts across the country started selling cars, along with all the other shit they offer, the beginning of the end...

2020- The 1st working hovercar is shown to the world.
2022- New York City and San Francisco sink into the ocean, millions of people pour into the higher lands of the US.
2023- The first Walmart opens up apartments for rent in the building. Target, Microsoft, Sears, and Starbucks soon follow.
2025- The first official WalCity is recognized as its own separate entity, outside jurisdiction of any government. The WalCity opens up in the midwest, thousands flock to the living quarters that were "With you for life" as the ads put it. Everything you could ever need was in this place, there was no reason to leave unless you wanted to work outside of the WalCity. This was discouraged though, they wanted to keep their money inside. Not soon after, they created their own money, which could only be used in the WalCity. Within years, 10 other WalCities pop up around America.
