The world in the hours leading up to the last before great war were surely ones of unsermountable stress. China with little resources, war on their door step. Canada under the rule and law of america. The Europeian Commonwealth was most likly at this point compleatly falling apart, out of oil but still engaged in the wars with the middle east. Isreal a basin of religious extremison and suicide terrorism (but also one of the first countries to bear a nuclear scar.)

Mexico a place of industrial waste, war and cahos, the middle east grid locked between a war with europe and a self destructing religious and revoultionaly war, the soviet union...probably inclined to assist america, but also probably helped supply china. and america as the ignorent hypercenter of the mess.

However, for them it would seem as though a bright future may be ahead. After all the world was just begining to reform to the ways of the recession, a new energy was pulling them from the darkness of fossil fuels, several new weapon and energy based experements were underway, super computers were just becoming micromized in machines and robots were effectivly replacing man in the workplace. Perhaps if nuclear war hadn't torn them apart, civil war would had. With food riots raging, the UN failing, a new plauge in denver and chinese spies everywhere...what was anyone to do?
