The year is 2016, the United States has flourished into mega power due to it’s new enriched economy. Since the election of the first female president in history the country has remarkably improved in world trade, and the majority of all exported products are now made in America.

Because of this the United States have become a threat, and many neighboring countries have become concerned that they will use their renewed strength to dominate and force them to exist under United States policy, which could eventually do away with their traditional way of life.

Secretly Iranian and Mexican officials conspire a plot of mass destruction to cripple the United States with a surprise nuclear attack, but the United States are swift to strike back leaving their allied attempt in ashes.

Though the country is saved from any further acts of terror the damage is visibly irreversible with three major cities destroyed, and the evacuation of more than half the entire population into Canada and Antarctica the president declares the United States uninhabitable.

Those who have chosen to remain behind are labeled renegades, and left to survive on their own. By the year 2017 the country is transformed into an expanding wasteland where there is no government or any laws to be upheld, and in these un-governed states there are no rules in the streets.
