Story
Set in 2034, the story of Front Mission Alternative takes place on the African continent. In the early 21st century, nations around the world began to form regional entities to combat a global recession and other worldwide crises. While many regions thrived under their newly-formed supranational unions, the nations of Africa fell deeper into environmental, racial, and ethnic conflicts. In an attempt to help them, the European Community (E.C.) and the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) assisted the nations of Africa to form a supranational union known as the Organization of African Consolidation (O.A.C.). Although it initially thrived in the first three years, disputes between the five consolidated nations that made up the O.A.C. began to appear. Tensions rose and with diplomatic efforts failing, the nations went to war, leading to the outbreak of the African Conflict.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“A story of particular facts is a mirror which obscures and distorts that which should be beautiful; poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which it distorts.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
