05. Environmental Propaganda and Media Suppression in Novaria

In the fictional city of Easton, located in the authoritarian state of Novaria, the government uses state-controlled media to suppress dissent and spread propaganda about its "successful" environmental policies, while in reality, industrial pollution runs rampant. Novaria's leader, President Viktor Kovalenko, uses media outlets like Novaria News Network (NNN) to paint a false narrative of national unity and environmental stewardship. Independent journalists like Elena Petrova, who attempt to report the truth, face imprisonment or worse. Citizens, including young activist Dmitry Ivanov, struggle to access unbiased information.
