Forty Five Hundred

Forty Five Hundred (4.5k or FFH for short) is a survival shooter game developed by solo-dev Scorp. In this game you will be given missions in an open-world environment, to which you must bring your own preferred equipment and your own way to tackle the situation. To be at your peak performance you will also need to make sure you are well rested, saturated, not thirsty, well medicated and make sure you keep a high reputation in the town to not get killed.

All your progress is effectively permanent and if you die you are dead forever, therefore if you want a chance to live you must make sure you're ready for whatever you're about to face.

Political Pre-History

Nexon, a dictatorship country in Asia, forms as an alliance of several poor towns in the surrounding area. Many other countries across the globe act aggressively towards Nexon, finding it's formation unnecessary and possibly dangerous, begin to neglect the country and refused to grant the country de jure recognition. Despite this Nexon continued growing by convincing surrounding poor towns to join in, promising to work together towards better quality of life.

The residents elect a new leader promising to get Nexon de jure recognition, get the economy on its feet and promised to give the majority jobs. After minor success and expansion the leader is assassinated by an individual of an unrecognized origin which leads to the leaders son, Lennon S. Adelov to become the new leader. Seeming disturbed by his fathers assassination, aggression and minimal support from other countries Adelov declares that his father was assassinated by an agent from another country as a way to make the country disband. Due to this Adelov begins a campaign promising to bring peace to everyone and unite the world by alliancing every country in sight. Nexon knew getting Russia to help would allow them to inaugurate their plans, therefore they began telling Russia about the recent events and their plans, to which Russia agrees. Nexon and Russia, form an alliance called the RNPU (Russia-Nexon Peace Union).

The RNPU began to collect manpower by attacking poorer African countries, though claiming that they're only invading their land to help them with their situation. Successfully invading a majority of Africa, only leaving several higher resistance countries for later, they begin to work north-west into Europe, prioritizing their access to the Atlantic ocean.

After claiming the majority of the coastline Nexon begins to attack the USA using the oceans from West and East, with the untrained soldiers from Africa acting as a great way to overpower the American militaries. In a few years time the RNPU manages to cripple the USA, although causing itself to lose a lot of assets itself.

South America, seeing how much of a problem the RNPU has become, create a world-wide anti-RNPU alliance named Uneon and partnering with the entirety of South America, Canada and the majority of Australia. Uneon additionally convince many central European countries to rebel against the RNPU, causing massive holes to be created in Nexon's borders, further giving Nexon more trouble to deal with.

Despite these efforts once Nexon started fighting Uneon the border was a stalemate, with Nexon invading the very top of South America but the border being stuck in place. So neither side would lose any land both sides would keep increasing their output eventually turning the frontline into a meat grinder with untrained soldiers being sent just to die. Due to this Nexon began to focus all of its attention on the war leaving the residents of both sides to be neglected causing the world to fall into mass poverty with no proper society to look over the citizens.

With this standstill many began to question the ethics of both Nexon and Uneon, saying that peace cannot be forced while Uneon's rebellion causes many citizens to not only be neglected but also killed in war. To appear more ethical Uneon began a campaign to allow any residents of Nexon to join Uneon's side of the war and began propaganda campaigns, often calling the RNPU the "RNGU" (Russia-Nexon Genocide Union).

Nexon, realizing Uneon is openly letting anyone join Uneon's side, create a plan to overtake the Southern part of South America, letting Nexon to attack Uneon on two fronts (from the North and from the South), therefore giving them an advantage. To do this Nexon began sending soldiers with only civil vehicles and airplanes in hopes that Uneon will let them pass through, therefore letting them get to the other side of Uneon.

After just a few days of this plan being in action Uneon quickly realizes what Nexon is doing and announces that they'll no longer be allowing citizens of Nexon to go into Uneon without announcing themselves first, causing many Uneon stations to shoot down civil airplanes and inspect civil vehicles entering Uneon.

<...>

Amidst all of this, a lone soldier going through with the plan, piloting a civil airplane into Uneon's borders, gets shot down over a small town with no concrete laws or government within Uneon. This soldier survives the crash but ends up getting a concussion making them not only lose the ability to recognize other human faces but also forgets who they are and what they are doing, leading them to only have the goal to figure out what's happening, to get out of the country and go home, not knowing that their home is likely not present. After breaking into a house and finding a map and a car they drive to the exit gate in hopes to get out but finds out that among the few laws still present in that towns government one of them is that

Everyone within the town must pay a toll of Forty Five Hundred in order to leave.

An investigator who gets their hands on lost audio-tapes documenting most of this soldiers actions, being almost an audio-diary, finds them fascinating and documents his findings and research into this person.
