Three years into the Recovery, after the Crash fifty years ago, there wasn’t much left of the old world. With no central governments intact, travel and trade were risky, at best. Bandits, pirates and other opportunistic thieves abounded. All the wind farms and solar arrays were trashed. All the old hydrocarbon sources were made unavailable without some sort of heavy industry to get at them. There was no organized effort to rebuild. Everything went back to pre-industrial age tech. There were a few exceptions. Some remote places with independent setups, for instance. And there were remote areas that retained some local government for lack of value to the failed collective. If they were outside of the wars, they retained some technological and social structure, and were THE places to be.
Jim Dandy should be thankful he got the passport for the travel to and within the Froglandia!
The definite article, “the,” is also used (or abused, as the case may be) by some universities; my undergrad school was “The [university name],” and the flagship university of the state where I worked insists on being called “The [state name] State University.”
ps. don’t forget the red bull jack, still a black jack, and a crap 7 card stud in the white house. with black Friday house rules offering the pit boss calls everyone to draw…
You will need more than just a passport for The Froglandia … because the Roaming Immigrant Beings Barred Except Tadpoles (RIBBET) Flask Force also requires a bribe ….

My passport just got here too, although I’m not too keen on their having placed a big, red circle over the location of my recent head wound.

My heart goes out to you, for I, too, have experienced, from time to time, the canceled czech.

Is he just dandy or the dandy? It looks like we’re spying from the side on a GQ shoot.

The Froglandia? Wasn’t she a sister ship to the Lusitania? Torpedoed by a Serbian oxcart on the Sea of Dreams?
