An update on Ulimatum

Ultimatum is a series of short stories that revolve around the conflicts of the world as I see them in 50 years. Anyways, Ultimatum is finally open, so you can view it if you want. Here's the overall back story:

The year is 2052, and human civilization is on the brink of total collapse. With the world population at 11 billion, a world food shortage combined with the rapid disappearance of natural oil reserves has severed trading connections between the U.S and China, effectively plunging both into a great depression. Russia is in the midst of civil war as the western half succeeds from the communist eastern side, which has joined China to form the Red Star Alliance, to join the European Union. Canada effectively closes its borders as its natural oil supplies make it a vulnerable target from both he E.U and the Red Star Alliance, and a new terrorist organization, the United Liberation Front, wreaks havoc upon the world. It’s a new kind of war now, a war where the conflict's as much between rich vs. poor as as nation vs. nation. These are the accounts of those soldiers who fought in the last days of human civilization, the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect what little they have left in a war that overshadows anything the world has encountered yet.

Welcome to circa 2052, welcome to war.

Mmm.. sounds different and deliciously good (I'm thinking about Thanksgiving - which is this Monday for us Canadians :P). Plus violence is like candy for me right now.

"Welcome to circa 2052, welcome to war."

That's a really good line. Will be checking that website as well :D
