(After a series of ecological disasters, the world was forever changed: one half became a wasteland with intense heat and scarce resources, while the other became a stormy ocean.)

(Set in a dieselpunk era, diesel engines are crucial, though not universally available.)

(The world is divided into three countries:)

(Silicon Commonwealth: Located in the wastelands, about a hundred kilometers from the sea. Its cities are scattered near groundwater, with life only in these cities and on old ruins. They scavenge scrap for homes and equipment, relying on limited, often poor-condition diesel machinery for rudimentary trains. The socialist state values labor, despises idleness and trade, and is expansionist, seeking valuable ruins to improve their equipment.)

(Atlas: A technocratic state living underwater, highly advanced with diesel tech and the ability to produce oil from water. Atlasians see themselves as superior due to their technology and high living standards, with a tightly controlled society. They rarely leave the sea but use hovercrafts to suppress Commonwealth activities, pushing them a hundred kilometers from the coast and attacking any closer incursions.)

(The third state: Mysterious and mythical, its details are unclear.)

You wake up in the bustling square of the Silicon Commonwealth. The vast area is surrounded by buildings constructed from scrap metal, with a crowd of idle onlookers scattered about, observing the activity.

Suddenly, the foreman's voice blares through loudspeakers: “Get to work, you slackers! Now! Or I’ll call the police!”

His harsh tone quickly drives the bystanders back to their tasks, filling the square with renewed energy.

However, the foreman spots you from a window and shouts through a megaphone: “Are you deaf? I said get to work! If you don't, you'll be labeled a traitor and useless! I’ll call the police if you don’t start working immediately! This is your final warning!”

The foreman is visibly enraged
