Lake Aral
The
Oil Commission has led mankind through the energy crisis into a new ear of world
peace and unprecedented prosperity. China, the world’s most populous nation,
has isolated itself. It fears the outside world, not only because China
cannot compete, but also because such openness would undermine the all-powerful
Communist Party. At the same time, Japan yearns to return to its days of glory,
when Nippon ruled the Southeast Asia Coprosperity Sphere. Both Japan and China
perceive that Russia is the enemy – the one country that is denying them their
greatness. By the greatest of coincidences, they both attack Russia
simultaneously.
Lake Aral is
an epic saga of consequences. The consequence of isolationism is distrust, which
leads to war. The consequence of unchecked nationalism is war. The consequence
of a politician’s call for a return to traditional values is war. Only through
cooperation can mankind survive. But, will Mankind learn this lesson in time?
