In an example of "white-hot rage of capitalist justice," the Political Office arranged to have them rounded up and sent to Big MT as test subjects for the company's latest projects, aided by troops from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment under the command of General Wellesley, military liaison to Big MT. By 2077, the region had a large community of dissidents, including local hippies, who protested the ongoing Sino-American War and the ravages of the military-industrial complex at military construction camps across both Hopeville and Ashton. Īlthough Hopeville was a planned community with carefully selected citizens, the system was not foolproof. Another problem was caused by the fact that the Army used Hopeville as proving grounds for Big MT's weather control research, using the denizens of the regions as guinea pigs. Military authorities downplayed these problems, confident in the safety of American engineering. Although omnipresent jingoistic propaganda declared this a solid ground for the American dream, it was anything but: The complex was established in a geologically unstable region, where minor earthquakes were quite common.
Beneath white picket fences, cookouts, and children happily frolicking in the streets lay an extensive network of nuclear missile silos built under the auspices of the Commonwealth Defense Administration Ballistic Defense Division. An isolated town located on the California/Nevada border, Hopeville and its bigger brother, Ashton, were established in the late 21st century in the remote badlands to act both as an example of the American dream in practice and its guardians.
