The New Face of the Word

The rising of the global Sea level forty meters or more has ravaged the world. Many coastal country's have entire cities that have sank entirely or were cut in half. Raising Temperatures expanded deserts and created new ones, new Rainforests formed, reclaiming more land from the expanses of humanity. Earthquakes ripped places apart making California unstable.



The Sunken Cities of the World

Around many of the new coast lands lay the sunken cities. An eerie reminder of the mistakes of the past. These are graves, as well as refuge to the outcasts of the world, Pirate havens. Some still a maze of their former sprawl. Ideal hiding places for the lawless. Many have been claimed by entire gangs making them some of the most deadly places to find ones self. Only the foolish venture here or the bold diving for lost treasures in their depths.



Deserts of the American South West

With the increase of global temperatures, and more arid extremes in certain places of the world, the United States has seen its deserts rapidly encroach upon once more fertile lands.  From Colorado, down through Texas and into California, Nevada, and Arizona, the deserts expanded.  The rate at which global climate shifted quickly made entire vast areas of geography near uninhabitable for people.

West Coast

The American west coast has seen incredible devastation from Global warming.  What impacts it much more than the East coast is the seismic activity that at first crippled entire states, such as California and Arizona, but then further along up all the way to Alaska.  Record Earthquakes laid waste to entire areas, southern California especially, which liquified as a land mass and sank into the already rising sea levels.  Arizona Bay was realized, and millions of people fled the area for safer lands, only to find encroaching deserts to the east.

Nuclear Fallout

The first, and only exchanges of Nuclear Arms during World War III were targeted at either sides Nuclear capabilities.  For the United States, this meant the northern states of the Great Plains.  Kansas, Iowa, the Dakota's all were struck by incoming enemy ICBM's.  The fallout carried by the jet stream fell just east of these areas, greatly impacting western reaches of Chicago's metropolitan area, Michigan, Wisconsin, and parts of Ohio.  The fall out forced people to either move, or take precautions against radiation poisoning.  This fall out impacted the American landscape almost as much as the Natural disasters happening, destroying crops, livestock, and much of the infrastructure of the United States.

At current, Chicago is a near waste land, with only the most stubborn of residents having stayed.
