The world is.. Irrelevant, actually. No one knows what’s out there anymore. All that matters is Australia. And here? Well, it’s a hellhole, to put it nicely. What wasn’t desert before is a desolate wasteland now. To be frank, none of us should be alive, but humanity is a crafty species. Not only did we figure out how to destroy the planet, we also figured out how to survive.
It’s been God only knows how long since the War, when we lit the sky on fire and watched it burn. No one even remembers why we fought it, just that we did, and it wiped out close to every living thing on the planet. Some of us survived though, hid underground, caves, basements, anywhere to escape the destruction. A lot of us died in the initial exchanges, though, lucky bastards. You don’t have that kind of war without screwing stuff up.
First we had the Night, everyone expected it, and we were reasonably well prepared to weather it, those of us who thought to prepare that is. But what no one saw coming was the Day. As soon as the clouds started to dissipate, we wished they’d come back. The sun had become our worst nightmare. Some old world scientists tell us that the vast number of nuclear detonations destroyed the ozone layer and caused disturbances in the magnetic field, exposing us to all sorts of radiation. Religious sorts will tell you God was just finishing where Man left off. But still, we’re here and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
