A short story by Ira Tabankin.An old man tells his children about America, in the days before the U.N. conquest and wealth-redistribution, after they become curious about the technologies described and some police showed up to investigate when one of them said the dirty and dangerous word "America."

Fallen States of America
 A History Lesson / int_2206fd8c
comment
Fallen States of America: As seen by how America is only spoken of in the past tense, and the mere mention of the name led to a lesson in the unfortunate history of the U.S. and a witch-hunt investigation.

Lost Technology
 A History Lesson / int_6114a875
comment
Lost Technology: Refrigeration, microwaves and washer/dryers have gone the way of the dinosaur, as have cell phones and cameras. Only government buildings even have electricity, a concept the father needs to explain to his children.

The War on Straw: The United Nations not only is anti-American, but also opposed to some of the most commonly technological devices on Earth? Sure, Ira.

comment
United Nations Is a Superpower: Their goons are everywhere, they conquered and disbanded America, and have apparently sworn to never again let a country go without paying it's fair share.

Expo Speak: Especially noticeable in the children, who ask questions and answer them and make fun of their father for things he hasn't mentioned.

Crazy Survivalist: The father seems to have been one before, not that it helped. His wife continues to mock him for having stockpiled so much food and ammunition.
