The Crystal Empire

No one saw the subversion that was taking place and what it would do to the "state of the union" until it was... too late. Filled with misguided anger and riots, greed and assassinations, all of which merge to result in a national conflict and war the likes of which our nation could ever hope to recover... a divisive conflict that will affect the balance of power worldwide. America came apart at the seems and the balance of world power was altered for the worse. Can anyone reconstruct the pieces of our shattered "Crystal Empire?"
