Divided States of America

''Nobody knew how it happened. It just did. So quickly, almost causally, the old order fell. Washington, London, Moscow, Paris, Berlin, Beijing, Tokyo... they all lost their authority. The economy fell apart, alliances toppled, and the old governments were gone. Just like that. States, provinces, counties, oblasts... all independent. Their own nations now. Some rose up to carry on the legacy of the Old Order. Some united, creating new nations. The New Order rose from the ashes of the old. And yet.... so little had truly changed. The Internet, marvel of mankind's power, remained. Everything modern remained. Only countries had fallen. But the world was not at peace. Quickly, as the economy started to patch itself back together, wars broke out. New nationstates fought over land. They fought over resources. They fought over everything. Some continents more than others.''

''Europe and the Americas remained somewhat peaceful. Quickly, new alliances were brokered. New trade deals signed. Within a few years, the chaos had calmed. The almost comforting normality of the humdrum of politics returned. Elections were held. People bickered. And now? Now the future is uncertain. The New Order was unstable, it had no clear leader. Human history is a curious thing. A very curious thing.''
