The Sci-Fi Story Behind Olvusulthia Mod

[jaosals42]

It began by a shallow ocean blue pond among a few old pines and oaks. Sitting watching the water flow, listening to the birds singing, frogs chirping, and several bees buzzing was a woman lying on a blue and yellow blanket. A picnic basket filled now with only empty bags and wrappers lied beside her. She was a short woman with long curly black hair, wooden brown eyes, and wore a dress the same color as the water that reached down to her black shoes. She was very young looking for being a person of thirty one years. She gazed out upon the sun setting off to the west surrounded by a sky filled with countless shades of brilliant pinks, reds, oranges, and indigos.

 

Her name was Lina Mercedes, a native to Quito, married for seven years to Francisco Mercedes, also a native to Quito. Her husband was currently working as an executive over at a public local bank that had been rebuilt two years earlier after the previous building had been destroyed when a public bus crashed into the building and caused it to collapse several years earlier. She, Lina, worked over at a nearby hospital as a nurse, an occupation that she as a young child always wanted to have.

With the possible and fortunate exception of mass-plastic recycling, the world had made almost no visible technological advances since the early 21st century. This was due to many problems, including things like wars, gas prices, natural disasters, and so forth that occurred at the turn of the 20th century. Developing countries saw this time as an opportunity to catch up, provided they weren’t facing such common issues as well, rarely being the case.

“Why can’t we humans ever get along for once?” she had often asked Ana and Mary, her two closest friends.

The only answer that left their mouths was always, “Don’t ask me!”

 

While lying down on the blanket, her head was filling up with thoughts. She was remembering many things she heard and read about the abnormal phenomena occurring currently in the United States. The world was changing there, though many did not blame it on global warming. Las Vegas, for example, was no longer surrounded by desert, but by coniferous forests. Anchorage was now known well for the cacti that grew throughout the city. While pines were flourishing in Nevada, They were dying out in and around Seattle and throughout the northwest being replaced by bayou trees. The state of Washington, once called the “Evergreen State” was now called the “Bayou Northwest”. But the most abnormal of occurrences happened in and around the city of Nashville, Tennessee. With a population of over four-and-a-half million people in both town and in the suburbs, it, along with Atlanta, Memphis, and Miami, was among the most important trading cities of the south and grew into a prize port along the Cumberland river, dangerously close to one enemy of the United States and growing world-power, Olvusulthia.

 

Among such occurrences in Nashville was the fact that though once being in a temperate zone area, it was now warming up to that of a tropical-like zone. Light would randomly flash through the ground on any day, sometimes frightening people who believed that the local foliage was radioactive, even though it wasn’t. Upon leaving the city however, the temperature at a certain point, would adjust itself to the normal temperature of the time of year often making ones body adjust to the sudden change in temperature. People called Nashville, “Nashiami”, a cross between Nashville and Miami. The city’s weather was also very unpredictable, having completely clear weather one day but then receiving a torrential downpour the next. Many people also thought that they could on occasion see wormholes open above the city skyline during the night hours, particularly over the tallest building in the city more than eighty stories tall that stuck out the city’s core like a tree in a desert.

Many blamed the city’s unnatural phenomena to be caused by Olvusulthia, also the Earth’s youngest, only underground nation, home to the world’s most advanced technology, military forces, education, healthcare, resource production, and manufacturing. It was a highly experimental country directly beneath Nashville.

 

Ten years earlier, the Olvusulthian leader, Jreksiveri’i had transformed Olvusulthia into a separate country from the U.S. Before then, Olvusulthia was the first and so far, only successful underground settlement. On December 9, 2034, Olvusulthia declared their independence from the United States to form their own country. Olvusulthia is the name they gave, derived from their language. Olvusulthian, the language, was a major combination of many of the world’s major languages. They fought a five year war against the U.S was highly similar to the Revolutionary War of 1775. In the end, the U.S spent trillions of dollars on a lost war shifting the country into a worse state of bankruptcy than what Iraq had made it into. The victorious Olvusulthians had since been conducting thousands of successful experiments and made countless of technological achievements, including military achievements, educational achievements, and medical achievements. With a money-free, pollution-free environment complemented with a wide variety of vegetation, perfect temperatures year-round, the world’s best trained army, best scientists, best teachers, and most medical workers, Olvusulthia was easily more than five hundred years ahead of its time in every field imaginable. Something which David A. Nale, President of the United States, was most envious of.

 

Olvusulthia was actually a huge underground city that could simulate day and night, besides its great climate, typically between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit in the summertime, 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit in the spring and autumn. It was a utopia that one couldn’t just enter with a passport because there were no passports to Olvusulthia. To enter, one must have permission directly received from and signed by Pordenta Jreksiveri’i himself, as he was known to the whole world as. Olvusulthia was crowded with buildings, many of which towered even more than one hundred stories over the cave floor. The bustling city’s population had recently peaked over five hundred million of the Earth’s ten billion people, and the number of invited people was increasing rapidly.

Thanks

I thought that it was a very good story. I like the futuristic aspects and how you use events today to help predict what might happen in the future, but still have fiction aspects to keep it interesting. I hope to see more of your stories and maybe a novel in the near future.

 

P.S. it reminds me of :starwars:

I really dig the idea....an underground Iraq war....would you be adding in anypart's about pmc's?

[PureSnipe]

I just skimmed this since I'm only halfway lucid. It seems to be good. I'll have to read it more in-depth when the pain pills wear off. Migranes are horrible....

[Tigerlilly]

A very good story, it had me wrapped. I especially like the intro and the idea of an underground nation. I really think that may be the way of the future of human race.

[Maharg67]

Liked the concept very much.

 

Would like to see more on it in future.

 

Just what is happening in North America?

 

If strange things are happening there what about the rest of the world?

 

Love the idea of an underground nation such as Olvusulthia.

Thanks. There's a site I built based around this. you can see it in my profile.

 

I hope to be releasing this as a book soon! :D
