Over time with the increasing reliance on automation, it has been shut off from the rest of the world, although built to contain dangerous criminals, it is now a dumping ground for ‘undesirables’. The Australis Penal Colony is a continent sized prison referred to as the Outcast Zone, or OZ. Dorothy is not a little girl (something I took great issue with in the original story, sending a child to commit a murder?), the Wizard is not a good man (something which was said in the original book), and instead of witches and munchkins and talking animals, you have evil women with motorized carts, clones and mutants. The characters from Wizard of Oz are here: Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Uncle and Auntie, the two wicked witches of east and west.
