Poland Will Fly: SF

May 31, 2013 15:20

Where do you go when you want people who are used to being made fun of for where they live and don't much care about what other people think? People accustomed to standing in long lines for limited supplies or simply not having them available? People who have for generations been willing to dig into ground that doesn't reward them, in hopes of getting enough to get by? People who have heard stories about their grandparents going to sleep in one country and waking up in another, so what does it really matter what country flag is flying? It may change. You go to Poland, that's what. You go to Poland and you tell them about the grand idea of New Poland, a planet just for them. You tell them that there will be all the supplies they need to make this new planet a hundred times more fertile than the farm they inherited from their Great-Uncle Gregor when his son died in the army without any children.

Inspiration: A contest for SF in non-NATO countries.
Story potential: Eh. Low. Medium if funny.
Notes: Not enough here on its own.

space travel, colonization, character, science fiction, medium potential, humor
