65 Have Not Have
(2001)
Geoff Ryman
It’s interesting that it is common for SF to be set in another world, but not another country. If we were to put a name to this time period in SF and fantasy, it might be the age of dystopias, a reprise of the famous dystopic trend of the 1930s. Here is one of those stories. This website also has an audio version, if you prefer that medium, just click the link at the top of the story.
