Nanowrimo ate my life

I think I have a totally new idea for Nano this year. I think the setting will be a post-apocalyptic Montana/Wyoming area, most likely called the Snow Plains. The people will have a steampunk era technology, though I've yet to decide on clothes. Comment me any ideas. The government will be a rather secretive, oppressive group. Their goal is to mine the last of the precious metals and fuels out of the land, the exact opposite of most everywhere else. Africa, I think will probably be well off. Europe is going to be the most advanced, I think they are going to be working on overthrowing the North American government. Europe is aiming at technology that is eco-friendly and they want to grow plants all over the Earth again. I think each continent is going to be a 'country'. The 'real' countries (ie: Britain, France, ect) are going to be more like districts, each has a say, but they have a continental 'congress' (?) maybe. 

At any rate, the main character is going to be a girl named Mareke (?) and she lives in the Snow Plains. ( I think one of the governments' things is to separate kids from parents and scatter everyone, so no one can bond together and rebel.) At any rate, one night in Mareke's 'town' a boy comes in. No one has ever seen him and they wonder how he got past the droids stationed around the town. The kids' leader, a girl named Livia says the boy, Troy, can stay one night. They'll give him blankets and some wood, but he has to get his own food. Mareke is chosen to take the stuff out to him. She's armed with her kitchen knife and frying pan and she sits and talks with him for a while. He tells her about himself, how he's part of the Athenian League, and she's terrified. She leaves and goes back to to her school-room. In the middle of the night she's awakened by Troy. He tells her to pack all her belongings. He has a Basilisk 1400, a type of nuclear-powered gun (rather like a Neutrino in Artemis Fowl), so Mareke packs. She puts her knife in her boot when he's not looking and grabs her frying pan. He tells her she can keep it if she doesn't try anything funny then they run out of the school. As they're leaving town, Mareke hears sirens and sees a charred droid in the snow. She realizes Troy is serious about the Athenian League. Troy says the sirens are a new type of droid, designed to capture people.

I'll put more later, that's all I have now. I think Mareke is going to be the daughter of Abby Harrington, the League's leader. hmm....
