@Didgeridont I appreciate the concise response, to be honest that was a poorly worded question on my part. I picked out the word "collapsed" and thought the whole country went down, but that's likely due to my lack of knowledge and upkeep with most real world politics. I'm just a tad distracted reading up on your suggested references in a hope to better understand "the vision" of this world.
I'll likely have a character up by tonight, or at the very least I'll have much of it done.
On another note, is the world still using modern programming languages? Because frankly, I know absolutely nothing about actual programming, so this character will likely be a challenge for me. (Which is good, I like challenges.)
