Our very pace of development and expansion threatened to end years of progress through the totally unsustainable consumption of resources. Leaders and nations failed to act decisively, blinkered by short-term and selfish ambitions. By the 22 century, climate change, famine, scarcity of resources and even new diseases and the inevitable conflict that followed tore the Human race apart. On the surface, people gunned other people down for nearly a century. Beneath that, famine and drought took hold, and many deadly and virulent diseases, a good number of them weaponized, killed off the civilian population. Even more insidious enemies clawed at the belly of mankind. One such enemy is the reason America is the best off now.

Eventually, the war reached a crescendo. By the time the smoke of the biological and nuclear weapons had kind of cleared, civilization had collapsed. And thus ended World War III, or the Oil Wars a  They were colloquially known.

nice but could we make some amendmants? I'd kinda like it to be a few centuries later in time and possiblly not using oil (it means all the more for us survivors when we need homemade vechiles and don't have crazy energy cells) My plan is that we start off with the best we can have is perhaps an average shotgun (it's the future so everyone's crazy like America and allows civilians to have guns XD) using good old gunpowder! later we'll move on to plasma guns and auto-targeting lazer miniguns when characters are a bit stronger.
