Kim Jong 55 threatens to bomb West Korea.
The modern world is dead. In 2116, society began going backward. While technology flourished, bringing about wondrous new computers and medicines, we became greedy and warlike. The EU collapsed, as did the governments of many countries in Europe, but France stood strong, bullying other nations into their whim. A global war started as France launched nuclear attacks on Britain and Germany. The United States and Russia became involved, sending in peace-keeping divisions of the military, but a surprise attack by Spain and Yugoslavia devastated them. China, angered at Japan, launched their missiles. The Japanese responded in much the same way. Fearing for its safety, Russia launched its own bombs at China, inadvertently destroying Mongolia and Korea in the progress. The Chinese went batshit, and launched bombs in every direction, obliterating Asia all together. With US forces withdrawn from Europe, and Russian nukes flying straight towards them, France made a last-ditch decision, if we go, everyone's coming with us. Launching several hydrogen bombs throughout the world, they destroyed civilization.
But humanity prevailed, much like it always would. A new Mongol Empire flourishes in Northern Asia, while an Imperial Japan dominates Eastern Asia. Roving tribes of barbarians war amongst themselves in Northern Europe, whilst the Mediterranean is dominated by a new Roman Empire. The former United States and Canada are filled with wandering Native American tribes, who remember the Great War of the Thundering Skies.
Britain finds themselves at odds, having devolved into a Neo-Victorian civilization, but heavily outnumbered. Somewhere, in a foggy London street, a portly businessman is hurrying to get to a meeting. While on his way, he finds an old building, left over from times long before, when technology flourished, but people turned evil. Its fading lettering reads "Fa-e Pu-n-h." Putting it together, he believes it may have been called, "Face Punch," but disregards the idea as silly. "Besides, who in their right mind would join a society about punching each other in the face?" He remarks, before hurrying off.

After thousands of years under the rule of the North Korean government after it took over the world in 2014, the resistance is finally able to make a move. After a rebel spy managed to build and (improve) a pair of robotic legs from scrap parts of mechanical prostheses and domestic androids, he surgically attached them to a rebel supporter who was born without legs. He was entrusted with information on an air convoy transporting military support to a nearby province that was attempting to crush the rebel movement that was rioting and had had several violet encounters with the local government forces.
The legs that the man received were improved to superhuman levels, making it a quick and unexpected way to cross over the heavily guarded city walls. He left at night, headed to the nearest resistance camp, and evading enemy attention, the man reached the camp in less than two days.
After being informed of the opportunity, the rebels of the camp decided to use the element of surprise and take over the convoy. They attacked during the night, using rebuilt vehicles from past wars to reach the hovercrafts transporting the soldiers and the weapons. The attack was successful, an the resistance took over the transport vehicles. They kept going, however, and in the next day, they approached th city gates. The trojan horse plan worked, as the city officials let them in, before realizing they were impersonators. The resistance fought the surprised enemy and won, continuing the plan and then meeting the local rebels, helping them with their confrontations. Together, the two groups drove out the remaining city forces. The people on the streets celebrated after the rebels had successfully taken over the city, a remarkable win for the resistance.
Now, government officials are preparing counter measures, but the fear settles in for the governing forces of the empire, as word of the takeover spreads, and people around the world start seeing a bright light at what used to seem like a dark future.
