TF2 Lore AU: The Great Manncession
The Manncession was an event that took place on October of 1973 when Mann co. Stocks came to a crash and burn. Australia was the leading country in revolutionary, technological advancements. Which meant a lot of countries depended on Australia for almost everything. The crash happened so rapidly no country could predict it would cause a shockwave of collapses to happen. Business collapsed, jobs were lost, and everyone was absolutely bitter.
What memorilized this event was the information of what Australium was to the public world. Australium is so sought after by everyone that the hiring of mercenaries struck an all time high. Which caused the economic boom known as the āMercenary Civil warā. An under the counter job that was seen as immoral in the eyes of common people is now seen as a legal viable job as common as becoming an office worker. Why is it called the Mercenary Civil war? Mercenaries donāt like competition from anyone especially if hired by the same client.
Now there are a couple of companies that did thrived after the collapse of Mann co. As a result of that, They are now the monopoly of weapons, hats, cosmetics and etc.
Australium is not all gone, thanks to Australian using it in all their technology particularly in cellular phones as conductors in battery packs. As such companies like these will pay millions just to steal some guys phone that was made in Australia.
