 2108, the world.Two hundred years from bloody wars, social strife and human suffering, the world is no longer a separation of entities. Countries with borders do not exist and ethnic divisions no longer apply; immigration and socialism have made the world a virtual paradise—equality for all, unlimited natural resources since man’s ascension to the stars—it is, without a doubt, peace on earth. 2208, the future. It is not the future of Orwell’s 1984 or even Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451; there is no Big Brother who watches a quaking population tirelessly through devices in building’s walls or human eyes themselves, there are no book-censoring firemen. The government does not oppress the people, but instead it is the people who oppress the government. And it is all done in a single city. China, once an economic powerhouse and a sleeping dragon destined one day to awaken is now home to the only political center in the world. The Forbidden City, once the throne of dynastic emperors now houses The Imperial Family, its royal court, and all the governing heads required to serve the people. Selected nearly one hundred years ago through genetic technology and raised by advanced social systems, the first emperor was installed in The City as a servant of the people. His first wife, chosen in a similar manner, was placed beside him as empress, and the city was filled with people who would serve the world as the population demanded. All of the emperor’s children are raised strictly with the beliefs of the world community, which consists of a mixture of tradition and forward thinking that serves the chosen version of utopia best. When it is time to choose a new leader—whether or not the current emperor has died, abdicated, or simply lost the Mandate of Heaven—one is selected from the Emperor’s children based on genetic, emotional, and social screening. Of course, The Forbidden City is perhaps the one place in the universe that is home to all of humanity’s strife. And that is its destiny. --- The City is a futuristic royalty roleplay that centers on the lives of those within China’s Forbidden City. Though they may be the people with the most power within its walls and the least outside, each is far from perfect and each has no escape but through death, exile, or by permission of the emperor. Now with a premade list of the royal family here!
