The Collapse of Society (2100)

= The Beginning =
After the third Resource War, many countries collapsed and left behind only ash and weapons of mass destruction, the latter of which served useful for those who remained.The few governments that had survived collapsed, albeit some much faster than others. Even Antarctica, although initially faring better off, was wiped devoid of Human life after a nuclear winter had befallen the Earth. The Ultimate fate of nearly every society on Earth was a complete breakdown of societal order and the ultimate regression into tribalism.
== Europe ==
At the forefront of the devastation was Europe, a united continental superstate spanning through most of the continent, although notably excluding the Russian territories. The literal European Union was extremely stable and extremely powerful up to its destruction, boasting a WMD arsenal that dwarfed any other nation. Of course unparalleled power made it the primary target of the war and thus the most devastation was caused there. The disintegration of European society is unique because for the most part there was no society left to disintegrate, regions became depopulated and entire cities were completely cleansed, and although the EU would respond with its entire arsenal, when the world's entire arsenal is focused just on one continent the devastation is unimaginable, that is, for everything but the Last City.
== Asia ==
The Asian continent’s demise was accelerated as the surviving people came into conflict over practically arbitrary borders in a desperate attempt to uphold pre war governance.  Although their attempts to uphold pre war governance as a whole had failed, Asia did succeed in maintaining some degree of societal order, thus devolving the continent into nation states that pointlessly fought each other to fuel their twisted sense of nationalism. Ultimately like most of the planet, Asia would regress into tribalism, although it did so at a slower pace which was overall less harmful to the population living there. One interesting exception to this is Japan which due to its Island geography and long history of regional rule as well as homogenous makeup. Technically speaking Japan had never collapsed as it still maintains control of certain cities and indirectly rules the rest of the nation, creating a feudal-like society.
== America                     ==
North America was left desolate after decades of war between two historical allies, Canada and the United States of America. After the brutal conflicts, millions of refugees headed south towards Mexico, Central America, and Cuba. Mexico, Central and South America‘s collapse, although ultimately attributed to the influx of refugees, was really guaranteed after the export dependent nations were not only hit by WMDs themselves, but also bore witness to the destruction of the international system. Certain regions would last longer than others however ultimately like most of the Earth, practically everyone would revert to a tribalist state.
== Africa ==
Ironically enough when Africa was beginning to climb its way to the top the second resource war hit, and the African nations believing this to be their chance to overthrow the traditional east west order instead found some of their most populous cities destroyed. With their belief that WMDs were immoral they could not respond in proportion and yeet again Africa fell to its knees, unable to resist whatsoever as the continent was ravaged. This destruction ingrained shame into the peoples of Africa, making them believe they were and always would be nothing. Any pan-nationalism movement quickly died and the continent retreated back into itself, dissolving any chance of a United and strong Africa with it. While the continent was overall still developed, it was disunited and simply accepted that there was no way it could resist foreign influence when the time came. When the bombs inevitably found their way to Africa once more people were prepared and the only massive change was the social structure. A continent shamed into thinking it is useless possesses the power and population to overpower the world without realizing it.
== Middle East ==
Although geographically part of Asia, the middle east had faced a much different downfall compared to that of the more eastern powers. Despite most regions of Earth being composed mostly of superstates, the Middle East was still largely fractured save for the few nations that had broken free from hegemonic powers during the fourth Arab Spring. The largely divided nature of the region caused a swift collapse of order even if they had barely been affected by the war because for the most part these nations were already teetering on the edge of collapse.
== Oceania ==
  Oceania  experienced one of the most tame downfalls as the isolation provided by the ocean greatly assisted in the slowing and even near prevention of their collapse. Many people would try to flee to the Australasian Confederation, a superstate that encompassed most if not all of the continent. After the onset of the nuclear winter rumors began to spread that the previously barren inner regions of Australia were more susceptible to agriculture than ever before. While the rumors were partly true, the rumors were started by a doomsday cult and most who had arrived found themselves greeted with the customary execution. Island territories meanwhile would receive little contact with the outside world which meant most of the people living there had to adapt to tribal life to preserve their existence slowly forgetting their modern heritage by each generation and becoming more and more isolated...
