Flatland

The events unfold in the days leading up to the celebration of year 3000. Tensions escalate as a Senate meeting triggers riots and martial law across the city. The impending millennium casts a backdrop of urgency and upheaval over political and social order.

Flatland is a two-dimensional world populated by sapient polygons. The story expands into Spaceland, a three-dimensional realm introduced by A Sphere. The Great Southern Republic and the Northern Kingdom frame a charged political landscape, with disputes over Chromatism and Irregulars shaping daily life and policy.

🪐 Dimension

A Square's encounter with the three-dimensional Spaceland challenges the Flatland worldview. The pursuit of higher dimensions reframes reality, knowledge, and the limits of perception. The narrative uses dimensional travel to question what is truly real and who gets to define it. It also raises the stakes of introducing new ideas into a conservative society.

🏛️ Power & Control

The escalation from political debate to riot and martial law shows how authority clamps down on dissent. Government figures, including President Circle, push to maintain order even as the state uses force to suppress opposition. The clash between tradition and reform highlights how power preserves itself at the expense of civil liberties. The story suggests that control can destabilize a society more than it stabilizes it.

🎨 Identity

Chromatism advocates seek legal recognition for personal color expression, challenging social norms. The state's response to Chromatists reveals the fragility of accepted identity categories in Flatland. The plot uses this conflict to explore belonging, difference, and the costs of fear-driven politics. A Square's journey intersects with these debates, tying personal growth to political consequences.
