8th Wonderland

(8th Wonderland)

Synopsis

There exists a virtual country on the internet, its name: 8th WONDERLAND. 8th WONDERLAND secretly gathers people from around the world which have one point in common: the wish never again to be subjected to news broadcasts, without being able to react. The small country starts in good spirits. Their operations resemble more those of students in lack of amusement, than the thoughtful acts of a serious country. But soon, 8th WONDERLAND politics change. Their inhabitants become more committed and more ambitious motions are voted. At the same time, the media start to gain interest in the accumulation of unusual international acts being committed, by 8th WONDERLAND, which can hardly be considered a coincidence.

With several million inhabitants, 8th WONDERLAND becomes a true force of opposition. Even the politicians from traditional countries, although feeling overshadowed, hesitate to openly criticize this country which obtains unanimity around it. New threats loom: what would happen if the motions of 8th WONDERLAND became little by little more reactionary? What if its way of behaving became slowly but surely similar to terrorist behavior? How do you capture millions of people disseminated throughout the world? How do you fight a country that doesn’t exist?
