The Wheel

The Wheel, also known as Prison Island Alpha, is an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean far away from any landmass on Earth. The island was used by the totalitarian United Northern Alliance (UNA) as a prison colony to exile rebels, political activists, and later teenagers who failed the Government Personality Profile Test (GPPT). These kids constructed large interconnected villages, and became known as Villagers. The Villagers lived peacefully in their isolated society, but were constantly at war with the Drones, who were drugged by the UNA and were dangerous warriors. The Wheel is the primary setting in The Forsaken and The Uprising.

Early History
The island that would become known as The Wheel was a desolate island located in the Pacific Ocean midway between but far from Australia and Hawaii. In the 1800s, the island was originally used as a place to banish political dissidents. It is unknown if any of the early prisoners escaped the island, but it is unlikely because of the island's massive distance from all continents. Years later, after the governments of the United States, Mexico, and Canada merged to form the United Northern Alliance, the totalitarian government of the UNA used the Wheel to exile political activists who spoke out against the UNA's oppressive policies and forsaking of human rights, captured rebels who fought against the UNA, and eventually teenagers who failed the government sanctioned Government Personality Profile Test, a personality test to supposedly detect future criminals before they could cause trouble for the UNA.
