Post-Apocalyptic Society

A post-apocalyptic society is one that develops after a large-scale disaster—such as nuclear war, pandemic, or natural catastrophe—causes civilization as we know it to collapse. In these societies, governments, infrastructure, and social order are often disrupted or destroyed. People must adapt to scarce resources, new threats, and altered environments, leading to diverse social structures—sometimes chaos, other times new communities or alliances. This setting explores how humans respond to extreme adversity, rebuild, and redefine societal norms in the absence of established systems.
