A bunch of neighboring countries formed a Union, known as commonWealth, where technocracy was prevalent.

This is the first installment of ‘Decaying Foundations’ series. It opens up in the world, which resembles ours very much. A parallel universe, if you will. The year is unknown, but judging from the technology and people, it is somewhere around 2020. This short mix offers a glimpse in that world, where multiple contributing factors slowly introduce instability and chaos in various regions. It happens gradually, almost undetected. Seemingly random things tend to be discarded until it’s clear that it definitely isn’t.
What This Is All About
