From the site:

Harsh New World

The level of destruction is unimaginable. In the last 8 years since First Strike, over 5 billion people have died from nuclear strikes, radiation, disease, and starvation. The entire world population is now under a billion people and declining rapidly. Most live underground to escape the nuclear winter and radioactive fallout.

Civilization quickly fell after First Strike. Canada, USA and all other nations no longer exist. They have broken up into smaller countries with their own laws and ideologies. Some areas known as "No Mans land" are so heavily radioactive no one can survive there. These areas are usually where nuclear power plants once were.

This nuclear Ice Age has totally destroyed nature. Nuclear blasts sparked huge fire storms that have burnt up nearly all natural resources. Anything that did survive died from radiation, lack of sunlight, extreme cold or humans salvaging what they could to survive.

Food and fresh water is the most valuable currency. Anyone with food and fresh water can trade it for almost anything. However most are very reluctant to give up there only means of survival for some material wealth. Humans use wind power, methane from human and animal waste to produce heat and energy for growing crops. Civilization is starting to rebuild.
