This site is set in Detroit, Michigan in the year 2015. It's been three years since the New Order came into control and most everyone in the country has conformed to the new government's rules. They've banned things such as alcohol, books, music, and weapons (to civilians anyway). Electricity is also limited. The lights go on at eight AM, and are shut off at eight PM. Detroit is the capital of the country now and where the majority of political figures reside. Anyone that opposes the New Order is either dead or part of the Resistance, and anyone that speaks out about opposing the Order is quickly sent to jail or a type of concentration camp where their will is broken down and they're left as little more than mindless robots dedicated to the Order.
For regular ol' Civilians, they still do live in their houses, if they still do have on, that is. Many citizens were evicted by the Government, or via the IRS when people couldn't pay their bills. Many of the children have been left to live on the streets, as their parents were either taken by the Illness, or killed in what is referred to as "The Brain Drain". So, these orphans have a choice. They either stay the way the are, or try and do something about it by joining the Resistance. The streets of Detroit are cruel and treacherous. A common way to get rid of an enemy is to snitch on them and tell one of the Guards posted on the streets that "So-and-so is a Resistance Member". The accused is either shot on sight, or taken away, usually never to be seen again. Many businesses have been closed and stolen from, leaving only the big ones like Wal-Mart around. The Crime Rate has sky-rocketed. Everyone is for themselves.
