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:
“I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken’s wing.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“We bank over Boston. I am safe. I put on my hat.
I am almost someone going home. The story has ended.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
