The Lore of Little Brother
Some might say that the constitution would merit a warrant before a search. It's a shame that no one would believe them, they were actually on to something. -President of the United States
Big Brother was considered to be Urban folklore, at best it was used to sum up the technological spying power of the intelligence agencies the USA would call their own. That was before the March attacks of 2016. Over two hundred thousand innocent human beings were reported missing or dead, and over one million innocent human beings were injured.
This all started in Pakistan in 2015 when the Taliban stole twenty nuclear warheads, each of them worth almost three megatons of dynamite. Pakistan held it's chin high however, and it refused to tell the world or even their close allies of the losses, people were executed for having an inkling of an idea that such a thing had happened. Pakistan's mistake that was. Only several months later in the month of February and the year of the attacks did the warheads enter American soil. Three of them proved to be dysfunctional and otherwise were considered dangerous to the Taliban. After careful consideration they disposed of those three heads and proceeded to draw out a plan. They would send all of their war heads to the highest populated area of the most economically powerful cities of the U.S. Of the included cities was San Diego, New York City, and Chicago. By early march Pakistan confessed after threat from UK and Russia that they lost the warheads to a terrorist group. Immediately trade embargoes are signed between merchants and even countries pertaining Pakistan situation. The US is in an uproar. Later that month in a United Nations gathering they would declare war on Pakistan with several other world powers.
Meanwhile in the US, everyone is kept oblivious to the fact that in a few days their economy will crash and that hundreds of thousands of them will die an instant painless death. The President broke a sweat and passed the "National Terrorist Protection Act" to congress, who was getting ready to vote when a report came in from Orleans. They had confiscated a nuclear warhead that matched the ones that Pakistan lost. The people aboard the truck were dead by their own means.
...Boom Only four of the seventeen bombs were confiscated before thirteen others exploded and devastated the USA on March Fifteenth. Luckily, DC was spared, the president was not. Vice President Jasik Merk took the office and immediately took action to save the US. All of the special forces were sent to help the situation, and advancing technology helped stump and taper off the spread of radioactive damage. New advances in technology also made artificial limbs for those million people without them by using magnets and computers (This is important). Day's after the attack the US began mobilizing for war. Never before in american history did so many people jump at the chance to show that the US was the worlds superpower and second to none. On April seventeenth of 2016 the USA declared war on Pakistan win the UK, France, and Germany as the main allies of the war.
On October third of 2016 Islamabad fell and a US flag was raised above their capital city. Most of the land except for a few resource rich colonies for America was given to Germany however France also took a fair share for themselves. Back in America a new technology advance enabled the devastated cities habitable and construction began to rebuild the glorious American empire.
In politics, Jasik Merk was considered the American idol. The perfect man they would say. It was not easy however, because one of his first actions was to completely and fully threaten china, removing TRILLIONS of dollars of debt. China did not respond with military, the memory of Pakistan's demise still fresh in their heads. During the war there was not much done in the sense of politics until Pakistan was removed from the face of planet earth, then it got interesting.
Canada and mexico were given two options by the united states, Join us by diplomatic means or Completely fortify our borders. It was easy to decide which one that they decided. On January first of 2017 the "Close Borders Act" was signed. That wasn't enough for Jasik Merk though, as he was tough, and he was going to make sure that the bald eagle of USA flew above terrorism. In doing so he sent it below freedom
February ninth 2017 the 'Big Brother' Amendment was signed by congress. This gave the Government three important powers. It let the Government manage the production of all weapons and destructive devices in the USA, going as far as to let them create the Company and appoint the CEO.
It removed the freedom of speak and the right to a warrant
It gave the Government full control and vision to every bit of your life using Camera's, microphones, software, anything you could think of they would use to monitor YOUR life.
At first this was rejected, it was considered foolish and it was caused uproar. Then the Weaponization Act passed, police forces were armed with assortments of weapons that were lethal and not lethal. The people quickly quieted down, and soon military police became common.
Another effect of the amendment was the regulation of the internet. Any server that hosted a site not registered with the united states was taken down and the owner was penalized greatly, but never by death. Tear gas became common for riots demanding their freedom back, but none of them would ever succeed.
This, my friends, is when you came in. It is June of 2017 and you are inserted into the twisted American world where your technology is standardized and the streets are kept safe for you from you.
Utopias, a made up city on the coast California is prospering as people move into its streets is where the bulk of the role-play will take place. It is also (For Reasons to simplify the Roleplay) the new capitol of the United States. It is considered grand and is as prosperous as New York City might be considered today. It is also where the bulk of American hackers reside, drawn to the technological advances this city is popping out every day.
Hackers you say? Let's see how well they hack with a pistol stuck in their face

The Out Of Character Generalized Storyline
Generalized I hope... I don't wanna end up writing another tediously long backstory. Essentially, the happening of this roleplay is that you live in the United States and you are categorized into 3 groups of people.
Hackers
Military Police
Political Leaders
Hackers are generalized and I hope they will make up the bulk of the players. They are Minarchists, Anarchists, and even just laid back computer nerds that are tasked to take down the world of Little Brother with whatever resources they can get their hands on. Most hackers do not know each other however if you agree beforehand that they WILL know each other, than it is perfectly OK.
Military Police are also skilled hackers, but they work for the Government to prevent hactivist movements BUT they also make up the HEAVILY ARMED police that 'protect the streets'. That's about it except their motives DO vary based of personality
Political Leaders pretty much explains itself. You could be the senator, congressman, governor. I don't really care, It only matters that you hold political power over Utopias. If no one is interested in these roles that I will appoint a couple Game Masters to control political movement.
I think this is it... Uh... Let me move on to the Rules now (God this is long...)
