Overview
In the 22nd century, a powerful magnetic wave obliterated half of Eurasia. Anarchy ensued, the traditional system of government was abolished, and the continent soon turned into a no-man's-land. The power shifted towards huge corporations, which controlled the construction of space stations and ensured living conditions on the Earth.
