What would it look like to have all of our freedoms stripped away?

People Protesting UK lockdown
16 May
There are a select number of people that believe that the Virus is a “scam”. That it is nothing more than a means to get more control over us.
What would a truly oppressive government look like? One focused on war and power?
The Idea:
It is set in an alternative future. You would think that the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 would have brought Humanity closer together. Instead, We have World War 3
The country that our main character lives in is a controlling, power hungry state
The main character is called to war, to fight for a country that oppresses them. They do the only thing they think they can… Run Away.
The World:
As a 3D artist, I am immediately drawn to the visuals. How will I create a world that feels real and lived in, but also threatening?
I Envision a world where the government uses drones to spy on its population
