<p> Michael as a student in intellectual studies in Seventh City has always found his own ways to survive in a hostile world, but everything becomes much more complicated when he gets an unusual rating at his eighteenth birthday and his father decides to let him choose a wife as a present. Which is not something he looks forward to, since he hasn't talked to a girl since he was five. Everything in The Nation revolves around Real Manhood and hierarchy, and the segregation between men and women is usually almost absolute, but Michael's priorities are completely elsewhere. </p> <p> On the other side of the divide between the sexes Megan has almost the lowest score of the lowest class in the local Wife School, and is completely surprised to be chosen so intentionally by this strange boy, who is so unlike everything she's ever been forced to learn about men. And then there's Eliza too, who has the lowest opinion of men and marriage possible, but who already has some weird connection to Michael. </p> <p> Once you get to know each other, you'd almost think men and women are both human, and have things in common… Will they be able to cross the distance between the sexes without falling into the destructive patterns of their world, and manage a relationship or at least become friends, or will they just be crushed by the heartless system they're in? </p> <p> 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. </p> <p> Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. The the of an extreme war between the sexes, which can easily destroy lives and make happiness impossible, is very important in the story. Note that a ll descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway! </p>
