Hi, it’s that annoying bitch that won’t shut up about Judge Dredd and guess what this ain’t going to be any different! So this is going to be a irregular post but it’s more of its description then image (not really any good ones).
So in within the world of Judge Dredd as a sum up the world became a heavily ruined hellscape ever since the Great Atom War. This left behind only technologically corporate totalitarian Mega Cities in place off nations as they were nukes out of the water by nuclear hell fire, as the world is in total collapse society leans onto the Mega Cities and the brutal cops known as the Judges for survival.
One interesting thing about the comics is how different cities are portrayed, since corporations run some cities and the citizens becoming so incredibly degenerates every ex-nation has devolved for one reason or another stereotypes of themselves. Perhaps after the wars this is all what was in recent memory so the idea of the farce that is nationalism became more deranged as everyone became a stereotype. And with this Ireland has a interesting situation themselves.
Brit-cit like every other ex British country became mere puppets of the mega city that sprawled from London. Essentially owning Ireland the corrupt government thought of a great scheme, they’d turn Ireland into a amusement park. Think of all the worse stereotypes and amp it up to ten mix it in with Disney Land and then you have the Emerald Isle. The citizens treated as mere mistime performers they are forced to live in a parody of their great country. Different lands divides this park with each park being a mockery, one a wholesome quaint village and another a lake full of Guinness. The law enforcement as well got dragged in with this, becoming no more then drunken trenchcoat wearing performers it’s the British that really run the show.
Even the Mad Max style post apocalyptic wasteland that makes most of the island isn’t safe. Named Celtworld, the mutated inhabitants treated as barbarians and fairies of old. Everyone is even forced to eat potatoes to make it feel really authentic… of course they ran out of spuds a looong time ago and are left with mashing rice together in a potato shaped food. Now predictably the citizens aren’t happy with this and there is a emerging terrorists cells around the city… just they can get caught up in car bombings then actually care for the county they claim to be fighting for. Humiliatingly the city can’t afford bullets for their weapons so what little potatoes they have they adapt them into a spud gun, far cry then that toy had as a kid this baby fires rocket powered baked potatoes right in the head (don’t set it on fried).
And yeah that’s the Emerald Isle/Murphyville. I thought turning a nation into a amusement park as well as being a highly technological mega city is a really neat concept so wanted to share! Sorry for the post!
