Biodiesel Land

Description
One of the grittier worlds in VirtuON, Biodiesel Land is based on the Biodieselpunk genre which was popularized by The Hunger Games and its many imitators.

Biodiesel Land consists of a shiny black tower known as the Monolith and the 64 square kilometers of farmland around it where the oppressed masses farm a bit of bread for themselves and have the rest of their crops taken by the aristocrats to produce biofuel to keep the diesel generator of the Monolith running for the benefit of the aristocracy.

Biodieselpunk
The pseudogenre of Biodieselpunk, which has its roots in the Great Recession, also includes many other notable works such as The Sky Crawlers, The Giver, Snowpiercer, Bioshock and Interstellar, and is closely related to the Electro-Swing genre of music.

Common themes of Biodieselpunk read like a combination of Biopunk works like Gattaca and Dieselpunk works like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, with themes such as...


 * Genetic Engineering (especially if only the rich have it)
 * Social Engineering (often bordering on Eugenics)
 * Widespread starvation of the poor (note that a common complaint of biofuels is that they take too much food crops away for use as fuel)
 * Extreme class divide between the rich and poor
 * A distinct lack of electronics in the daily life of even rich people
 * The harm of impoverished children by wealthy people as a metaphor for the loss of a future for the Millennial generation
 * A war that happened a long time ago which ruined everything but nobody remembers enough about it to say what happened
 * A shoehorned teenage romance plot that is given more importance than all of the above
