The Synesi Empire was conceived just after the world population was devastated by "The Plague". Scientist's say that the plague started as an airborne strain of the HIV virus. Theologians have described the plague as divine justice against mankind for the sinfulness that had been allowed to prosper. Though no one truly knows how it started, every human knew how it ended. The world population was diminished. Governments were destroyed and anarchy became common throughout the world. Through the chaos, a simple man known only as Synesi came to power. His voice encouraged, his action's attracted followers, but it was his ideas that gave him power. The members of the former United States of America looked to Synesi for leadership. Synesi took control and brought order to a nation of chaos.
