Deceptive actions undertaken by irresponsible politicians trigger a mass migration. Millions of people seek a new home and a better life. Some of them have lost their worldly possessions in civil wars; others are driven by religious fanaticism or are simply daring adventurers. They are taken in by a culturally ossified nation with no desire for self-assertion, dominated by corrupt elites and a manipulative media. False promises from a state leadership who doesn't stand behind its citizens and the unfulfilled expectations of the immigrants lead to a civil war-like development that ends in an apocalypse.
