About The Purge Franchise
The franchise is set in a Dystopian Future where the United States is recovering from a period of economic collapse and social unrest after a Political Organization called the New Founding Fathers of America is voted into office, where they establish into a Totalitarian Government and Police State. In exchange for a strong economy and the unemployment and crime rate being at an all-time low, a 12-hour Event known as the Purge is held annually. In reality, the event is used as a method of artificial population control, as the poor and some working-class people are the primary targets, as all crime, including murder is legal for the 12-Hour Period.
Note: The United States has seen an increase in tourism, as Foreigners will travel to the US to participate in the Purge.
