Sovereign Citizen Wasteland

Scene 1: Welcome to Freedomland

A group of self-proclaimed sovereign citizens wakes up in a barren, post-apocalyptic landscape. The sky is a permanent dusty orange, and in the distance, wrecked buildings crumble under their own weight. There's no government, no police, no taxes—and, unfortunately, no roads, electricity, or running water.

A massive, hand-carved wooden sign reads:

"WELCOME TO FREEDOMLAND. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN."

BOB (a die-hard sovereign citizen, grinning): "Hell yeah! No taxes, no government, just pure freedom!"

LISA (squinting at the horizon): "Where’s the supermarket?"

GARY (realising something is wrong): "Wait… who built the roads?"

They all glance down. There are no roads. Just cracked earth and a suspiciously large number of scorpions.

Scene 2: The Free Market at Work

They approach what looks like a bustling town… until they realise it’s just two guys selling filthy water and rusty weapons at insane prices.

TRADER JIM: "One bottle of water? That’ll be three gold nuggets or your left shoe."

BOB: "That’s extortion!"

TRADER JIM: "Nah, friend. That’s the free market in action. You don’t like it, go make your own water."

Bob turns to see a dehydrated man licking condensation off a cactus.

Scene 3: Crime Without Punishment

As they argue, a masked bandit casually walks up and steals Bob’s wallet at gunpoint.

BOB: "HEY! That’s theft!"

BANDIT: "Oh, my bad, do you have a government around here to enforce laws?" (smirks and rides off on a makeshift horse made out of shopping carts)

LISA (panicking): "Okay, let’s call the—oh."

Silence. There is no police. No courts. Only the law of whoever has the biggest gun.

GARY (sweating): "I think I wanna pay taxes again."

Scene 4: Libertarian Paradise Falls Apart

After two days, their settlement descends into chaos.

• A "freedom militia" has set up roadblocks and now charges people to walk past them.
• Bob tries to start a currency based on bottle caps, but Lisa robs him because "currency is just a government construct, right?"
• A local warlord emerges: a 19-year-old named Chet who owns the only working generator and demands people fight in his Thunderdome for access to WiFi.

Final Scene: Escape Attempt

The group crawls to the border of Freedomland, where a giant neon sign reads:

"Wanna leave? Just pay a government exit fee of 30% of your total wealth!"

Bob checks his pockets. He has three bottle caps, a broken compass, and a rock he named Kevin.

BOB (whimpering): "I miss regulations."

Lisa and Gary burst into tears as a man in a tattered suit leans in.

MAN IN SUIT: "Don’t worry. The IRS is always willing to take you back… for a price."

FADE TO BLACK.
