1. "Peace on another world"
This is one I play with every so often. It is set several years into the future...about twenty years before this ocurred, and again about five years before, creatures from another world came to attack. The majority of the world was wiped out, and what was left had to band together. At the moment, the entire population of the earth is in a single colony, a bit bigger than half of the United States. All children who were under ten years old when the second wave came were given a quick 'crash-course' in foreign languages, and now most children are bi- or tri-lingual.
