WW3 had destoyed large population centres decimating populations, thos that were left rose from the ashes.

Mainland Aisia: Rice field along ith other grains started to decline rapidly when diseass were foun on the plants, this was unfortunate for the still large populations of mainland aisa, people started rioting and civil wars brokeout eveywhere. once again this estroyed the poopulation and time here has reverted back to living in small villages with limited technology.

South East Aisa: Riots protests Rebels and eventually war helped once again decimate the population after the food and water became radioactive or toxic,  the people of these countries stopped contact with each othe and isolated themselves trying to rebuild. now the factions here are crumbling and are callapsing due to rebels and corrupt governments.

Autralia: australia faired quite well, the small population and abundance of resources is helping them to rebuild and australia may be the first to embrace a working new world order, after they have the technology they will build and explore to help other civilizations.

Japan: Japan was wiped off the face of the earth between the U.S, Russia an china all contributing to the small nations destruction (China, Russia, and the U.S were not on the same team they just retaliated to Japan).

Africa: The continent also did considerably well compare to much of the world as the war was focused in the north not much is known besides the Children of the ashes surving and doing whatever they can to reurn to a better state promising a bright future for all

Middle East: these countries lost everything after the oil which was abundant has now been bown up, used or became obselete due to the reversion back to a point before the industrial Revolution, the arabic nations the formed the United emirates ruled by wealthy families of what once were.

Island Nations: The small island nations across the world are either just hanging on were swallowed up by the rising seas or were crippled by the lack of food water and supplies to build and sustain.

Russia: the entire country is now a wasteland covered in raidoactive waste ad dust not much more is known besides nature trying to desperatley hold on.

Europe : the entire continent was also decimated and is also covered in radioactive material it is thought that a few sub-terreanean cities are being built using the technology an whatever they can find from a batterie to a peice of cotton or corregated iron to bunker down for the next few millenia.

South America: this continent didn't fare well but was by fr nowhere near the worst the war left the governents even more corrupt and economies even worse due to the lack of well... anything including man power. it is thought that villager are popping up everywhere.

The world was destroyed with little surviving and even less scraping along. deserts are spreading ecosystem collapsing land being swallowed by melting ica caps and what little usable land there was the majority is now either radioactive or is attempting to be reclaimed by nature
