Year: 3001 A.D
In the country of Oceania, as far as anyone can remember, Oceania and Malpais have always been at war with one another. Each country is entirely different, in Oceania, life is bountiful and everyone is happy, not even concerned with the constant war. In Malpais, most people have “war fever” and rations have been announced. The Oceania Government urges its citizens to spend money and be promiscuous, as it promotes “good-feelings” and so no one would ever question how things are being run around them. Most Oceanians don’t like to think too much and believe being social is the normal thing to do and anyone who wants to read or be alone is surely abnormal. Those types of people soon vanish if they start to question the government. Everything is clean and fancy in Oceania. Jobs in Oceania are quite menial so they do not strain the people. Only a select few work with the government and know how things are really run. Most people live in apartments with high technology and transport is purely done by taking helicopter and people go out and parties with one another. Their leader is referred to as Ocean, (pronounced: OH-SEE-IN)
The Malpain Government runs things with pure fear and constant watch. (The opposite of Oceania) The people in the country are always being watched by monitors and cameras. Everything you say and do is recorded and the government frowns upon any relation with the opposite sex. All of the people in the country are educated to hate Oceanians. Oceanians on the other hand are quite curious of the Malpians. Living is dirty and most people have grown used to such conditions. Malpians do not wear emotion on their sleeve unless it is praising the war and the government. Most jobs are very demanding and are the priority of the people. Most people live in run-down places and luxuries are hard to come by. Malpais is quite cold and desolate. The thing that is noticeable is cameras and television screens in every room, nor can they ever be turned off. Their leader is referred to as Malpia.
Recently there have been movements from country to country and some people have crossed into the other country without notice. If found these people would surely be brought into custody and killed…or as they say, “vanish”. These overly curious people have a need to stop the war and are obviously different from “normal” people in their country.

And if anyone didn’t get it, this is roughly based off of 1984 and Brave New World, both books I favor. I have tried to keep it simple and it seems this give free range to the actual settings and such, so go at it! If you have read the book(s) I can list some locations of interest but if it’s not needed, I won’t. I know some people might think this would never happen, well for the sake of pulling two awesome books together...it's happening. I'll post my characters if anyone wants to join. Note: I am undecided about Soma and the thought police.
