Plot
The Year is 1962. In the aftermath of 2 bloody world wars and countless revolutions, the face of the world has completely changed. As the nations of the old world collapsed under the weight of perpetual war, new states and ideologies rose from the chaos, and drew new borders across the globe, transcending nationalities and continents. With the advent of nuclear weaponry that ended the last war fought against a gang of megalomaniac dictators, a new, cold war broke out between the former allies. Increasingly suspicious of one another's ambitions, they've begun arming themselves to the teeth with destructive, intercontinental thermonuclear missiles, and pointing each such weapon in the direction of another adversary.
Several years ago, at the height of the cold war, due to extreme public pressure, the leaders of the world's nuclear superpowers have agreed to adhere to a set of UN regulations, which limit the number of nukes each superpower may possess, and also ensured that no superpower has the capacity to completely annihilate another by downgrading their missile's range and payload. In addition, all nations of earth have been required to sign non-aggression and defensive pacts with all other nations. This ensures that, if, a nuclear power becomes aggressive and decides to use weapons of mass destruction on another, the international community can retaliate with full force, completely annihilating the attackers.
After a brief period of peace and prosperity, and after several elections and regime change, On November 26th, 1962, the UN Headquarters were destroyed with a briefcase-sized atomic bomb, obliterating an entire block of offices and killing over 10,000 people, including the general secretary and key UN staff. Just a few days later, the world's leading technology college was infiltrated and valuable, classified research was reportedly stolen. It is rumored across intelligence circles that this technology could render conventional radar's worthless in detecting incoming missiles and aircraft.
Following the investigation into the attack on the UN Headquarters, it has been revealed that a secret organization of industrialists, politicians and financiers intent on world domination were behind the attack. Now, with the most important peacekeeping international organization out of the way, the world's superpowers once again look suspiciously at one another, and not without reason. The secret organization, which goes by the name of E.V.I.L. has members from the top ranks of the nuclear powers... however, due to their devotion to utmost secrecy, most E.V.I.L. affiliates are unaware of each other.
An independent investigation has been launched into E.V.I.L. and its operatives will soon be rooted out of office. They must now act fast if their plan is to succeed...
But that is not all... In a secret arctic research station, a crazed scientist by the name of Dr. Strangelove, who was in 1961 denied the Nobel prize in physics for his discovery of the neurotic transistor, (as his idea was stolen by one of his associates, whom then claimed the prize for himself) has built a robot replica of one of the world's leaders, and had his or her replaced by the mechanical contraption that now follow's Strangelove's orders. Strangelove's goals are simple: destroy the world, one way or another. He decided to enlist his mechanical man/woman in the ranks of E.V.I.L. to gain some temporary allies in the endeavor...
