Altered (United) States: South Carolina “A State Of Change”
On Earth 222, the State of South Carolina is in a constant state of flux. Every two to four years, the state and everything in it changes. Oddly, anyone who has not lived in the state for at least two years does not change.
This strangeness started in 1961, on June 17th, when a small meteor composed of an unknown material exploded over the state. A week later, the entire state changed to a desert environment and the people all turned into 5 foot tall very dark blue skinned humanoids. However, when asked about things, they all talked as if South Carolina had always been that way and nobody questioned could remember it being any other way.
For the next two years, the people living there went about their business, working, voting, paying taxes, etc. All of the strange goods they produced (including the hexagonal paper money) reverted to normal once it passed over the border. This also happened to humans and animals, but no South Carolinian seemed to notice the change.
The rest of the country/world really didn’t know what to think. Scientists didn’t have a clue.
Over the years (it is now 2011 on that world) South Carolina has changed dozens of times. A few examples…
…From 1978 to 1981, it was a strange looking heavily forested place and the people looked very much like elves.
…From 1985 to 1989, it was a futuristic looking megalopolis and the humans were 12 feet tall, but otherwise quite normal looking.
…From 1998 to 2000, it was a totally flat icy waste where everything lived underground. The humans looked like gelatinous globs.
…from 2008 to 2011, the state looked like Dante’s version of Hell, but with farms, shops and businesses. The people looked like devils and demons. Tourism dropped to a mere trickle.
It should also be noted that the state has its own weather, appropriate to the environment at the time.
