(A map of Katanga is shown, with several arrows from neighbouring countries pointing at it.)
VO: "This is Katanga. Our home to our ideas and ideals. But our home is threatened. Collectivists controlled from Moscow aspire to destroy our home from the outside and from the inside."
(A montage of troops marching and agents "doing their work" is shown.)
"They deployed troops close to our borders and planted subversives inside our cities. But there is something that can be done about that."
(A Pricor outlet is shown, with people signing contract to join their armed forces.)
"Sign up at you local Pricor outlet and defend your home. You're not only fighting the evils of collectivism, you'll also be rewarded with a large paycheck. Plus, being a warhero improves your curriculum and opens the doors to a career of highly-paid jobs. What are you waiting for? Join Pricor right now!"
...
(Stock Cars are shown racing at the Galtsville Superspeedway)
VO: "The race of the year is coming soon! The 1982 Katanga 500 at the Galtsville Superspeedway! The stars from Nukecar are not just driving to win a race. They race for honors and for a check of 10.000 KGDs*. So grab your tickets as long as they are available. The 1982 Katanga 500, brought to you by the Nucleon Motor Company!"
...
KBS Announcer: "Before our feature film of the evening continues, we go to KBS News in Galtsville, for a KBS News Special Report."
(The KBS News logo flashes on the screen.)
KBS News Announcer: "Good Evening! The following news just came in: Katanga Energy just announced the reopening of their nuclear power plants, which were closed down after the "Nucleonia Incident". This is a massive relief to Katanga, as Katanga was suffering from a massive energy crisis in the past months. It is expected that daily life will soon return to normalcy. Furthermore Pripol announced that they are close to find the saboteurs who planted the bombs at the Nucleonia Power Complex. When we have further news on that matter, we'll inform you as soon as possible. We now wish you fun with the continuation of Atlas Shrugged - Part II."
*KGD = Katangian Gold Dollar. 1 KGD = 100 USD in TTLs 1982
What TL is this from?
It's inspired by Linkwerk's TL, but it's not canon unless he recognizes it as canon.
BTW, shouldn't we move this to the writer's section? There is after all a lot of writing involved, and not actual discussion about possible alternate history scenarios.
