Ah, I presume you're speaking of the book [i]1984[/i] by George Orwell? I've never read the book, but I've heard that it's similar to [i]Brave New World[/i], one of my favorite works. I read and liked George Orwell's [i]Animal Farm[/i] enough for me to want to read his other novels and essays, but I haven't as that is part of my school system's curriculum and I would have to reread a lot of it in a year or two.

And yes, I like to think I'm good at creating fictional nations, but they often tend to be a bit...gritty. More compelling and far more interesting to write as.
