[edit] History

The United States, after the initial phase of starvation, suicide and conflict, began to rebuild small towns (the large cities were too dangerous). the rest of the world suffered from civil wars, revolutions and famine of biblical proportions. The Second Chinese Revolution, caused by a huge famine, saw millions killed. Japan, unable to grow food, and unable to recieve food shipments, became an island graveyard. In Europe, famine and general loss of order led to massive riots, revolutions, and a brutal war over food sources that saw France and Germany bomb each other to dust. Britian, very severely hit by the famine, barely survived the dark years, but never even came close to civil war or revolution.
