The decline of civilization begun in earnest when the third world was abandonned by the richer nations, who were too busy fighting each other over dwindling natural resources and incompatible ideologies. Nations themselves were corroding from dissent, riots and economic disasters from within. Eventually, these were replaced with interdependent city-states around the world. Wars were now being fought closer to home over territory and resources. Nuclear and biological war and ecological disaster wiped out 90% of worlwide human population and exterminated untold numbers of animal and plant species. The surviving societies found themselves more isolated but war still raged, killing the earth at a frantic pace. Then, the dead awoke.
