Once there was a kingdom ruled by three Great White Kings. The first Great White King ruled the region of the West and Midwest.

The government was in debt. Due largely from loans, the bulk of it, however absurd it might sound, coming from a Party with an ideology considered Hostile to the Great White Kingdom--the Manchurian Corporation--the largest and most powerful corporation in the world, a private group, with billions of people at their disposal for both labor and military service and with no accountability to anyone except for Party Stockholders and Board Members. Though the ideology of this Party was considered Hostile, the Manchurian Corporation was quite generous, lending to the Great White Kings, who were their most cooperative candidates. Cooperative, so that the rich, who would come to be known as the Upper One Percent, could keep
