The Territory

Noa lives in what's left of a Britain where flooding means land is scarce. Everyone must sit an exam at 15: if you pass you can stay in the Territory, if you fail you must go to the Wetlands. Rich families can buy their children an upgrade to help, but 'Norms' like Noa must succeed on their own merits.

Noa traieste in ceea ce a mai ramas dintr-o Maritate unde inundatiile inseamna ca pamantul este rar. Toata lumea trebuie sa sustina un examen la 15 ani: daca reusesti, poti ramane in Teritoriu, daca pici, trebuie sa mergi la Zonele Mlastine.
