→Year Zero: The Story
The websites suggest that in Year Zero, there is no longer a distinct separation of Church and State. Perhaps due to an onslaught of bioterrorism attacks, the government has assumed totalitarian control and used the threat of future terrorist attacks to justify their absolute power.
The [[Church of Plano]] is a sola scriptura organization that uses the threat "Whoever Resists Authority Resists God" to legitimize and support the current Administration. Not much is know about the Church, but it has taken a special interest in the Presence and is sponsoring a "Neighbordhood Cleansing Program" so members can "put their faith into action".
The government developed a drug called [[Parepin]] to ostensibly protect the public from future bioterrorist attacks. Parepin, found on the first discovered site [[I Am Trying To Believe]], is a drug added to the water system and drinking supply of the general public. Its initial purpose allegedly is to combat all disease, though there is no scientific proof to justify this claim. The Year Zero Administration added it to the drinking supply to both combat disease and reduce the populace's susceptibility to bioterrorist attacks; however, many citizens are reluctant to believe this. Discontinued use of the drug has enabled citizens with clarity of thought, which the government claims is mere paranoia.
