4. Environment • The Environment of The United Empire can be defined as this- wonderfully dull. • Anything you can find in The United Empire is black and white, from the sky, to the buildings, to the people’s clothes. • There is no sunny weather, it is always raining. • The reason for no color and the continuous rain is because John Hamlet created a machine called the “Annihilater 3300”. • -This machine used laser rays to zap masks over the sun, the moon, and the stars. The laser rays also zapped all color leaving the environment of The United Empire colorless.

5. People in Environment • In The United Empire you can feel no emotions. • There is no love, no laughter, no anger, no sadness, and no compassion- nothing. • All feelings are controlled by a Department of Emotions, who makes sure no human feels anything. • All humans are controlled by a chip that was programmed in them that is hooked up to their body to make sure they feel nothing at no times.
