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:
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame. Some “Judæa Capta,” with a woman mourning under a palm tree, with silent argument and demonstration confirms the pages of history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Cinderella and the prince
lived, they say, happily ever after,
like two dolls in a museum case
never bothered by diapers or dust,
never arguing over the timing of an egg,
never telling the same story twice....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
