Something happens to a city. It could be an evacuation or a disaster. Whoever's left over will now have the run of the city, and they can use its resources to attempt to communicate with the outside world, try to find more survivors or just have fun without anyone to stop them from breaking the rules. Frequently found in a Cozy Catastrophe. Compare The Aloner. |

Impaz from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the last inhabitant of the Hidden Village, who turned down a chance to escape from her Bulblin-occupied village so she could give the Ancient Sky Book to the messenger of the heavens (a.k.a. Link). | |

Dragon Quest VII has this happen to Suifu in the Penal Colony where all the refugees/prisoners from Dharma Shrine are being held. Once the problems are solved, he finds himself alone, ruefully admitting that he'll never enjoy the sort of power and position he was able to claim for himself there. | |

While it's ambiguous how heavily inhabited the Great Plateau was before the Great Calamity a century ago in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (some of the structures are implied to have fallen into ruins well before that, and there's no easy path to and from the Plateau in relation to the rest of Hyrule), the Old Man is nonetheless the only friendly character there to greet and guide Link after the latter's awakening from the Shrine of Resurrection. He turns out to be the ghost of King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, having waited that whole century for Link to recover from being Only Mostly Dead and point the hero toward his quest to defeat Calamity Ganon. | |

Named for the The Simpsons episode in which Homer divides Springfield into two towns, Old Springfield and New Springfield. When Homer erects a wall to this effect, the citizens of New Springfield quickly realize that they suddenly have no means of obtaining supplies. All but the Simpson family climb over the border, leaving a disgruntled Homer alone, to which Bart says 'Face it Homer, you're mayor of a ghost town!' Homer also has the run of Springfield for about half a Treehouse of Horror segment, after a Neutron Bomb kills all the people. And turns many others into cannibal zombies. Moe became Emperor of the starved lawless en-domed Springfield by chucking grenades at anyone who challenges his authority in The Simpsons Movie. |

Played for laughs in Homestuck. The Wayward Vagabond, a non-human wanderer of post-apocalyptic Earth, is fascinated enough by the idea of democracy that he becomes a mayor over a stash of cans. It's less humorous now that fans are speculating he did this as a coping mechanism after two entire armies he was leading were slaughtered in front of him in a matter of seconds, leaving him as the only survivor. |

Red Dwarf follows this premise. A radiation leak kills the entire crew of a ship the size of a city. The only survivors were an illegal pet cat, sealed away from the radiation in the ship's cargo hold, and Dave Lister, a flunky mechanic who was in stasis as punishment for bringing the cat on board. The ship's onboard AI automatically quarantines itself from other ships, until three million years pass, long enough for the radiation to decay to safe levels, before releasing Dave out of stasis, and explaining what had happened. The rest of the main cast are rounded out by Rimmer, a hologram of Dave's dead roommate, and the Cat, a humanoid that evolved from Dave's pet cat during his time in stasis. | |

The main cast from 28 Days Later have a Hope Spot moment raiding food from an abandoned store, and in the first scenes, Jim absconds with a bag full of soda cans from a derelict vending machine. On a darker note, since the original owners are dead, the soldiers have set up camp in an abandoned country estate, and govern from there, at one point forcing the girls to dress up in the clothing of the former lady of the house for the pleasure of the men about to rape them. In one of the short films made with the sequel, a man left in this situation kills himself out of loneliness. As he's dying he hears the helicopters returning. |

The Stand had one bomb-happy character blow up oil storage silos for the explosions, since no-one was going to stop him. Hell, half of the secondary characters, especially those left in NYC, go wild with their fantasies. One guy runs into two survivors in the park and tells them he's gleeful the world is gone. Why? There's no one left to stop him from jerking off on home plate at Yankee Stadium. This is one of the few relatively benign examples. |

In the Deltora Shadowlands novel The Isle of Illusion, the heroes meet the Aurons, who have split into two factions following a schism. Those who prefer the illusion that they live in an idyllic paradise stay on the island in their Domed Hometown, while those who accept reality, or preferred the non-illusionary island, were exiled and live on a giant raft. By the time they get to the island of Auron, only one person is left alive; everyone else there is an illusion. | |

An episode of Duckman had the whole town perform an "emergency drill", only to get trapped in the shelter underground. Only Duckman (who slept through the alarm) and a deaf woman (who couldn't hear it) remain, convinced they are the last people alive. So Duckman engages in his every hedonistic desire; tooling around in a motorcycle, stealing things, blowing up buildings, and unknowingly causing hell for the people trapped below. | |

Doctor Who touches on this in the episode "Hell Bent" where an immortal woman known as Me is, for a time, the last sentient being in the universe. It is implied that she spends her time watching the last of the stars die while sitting next to an empty chair and a chessboard, with no one to play with. | |

In the Grand Finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Ozai appoints Azula as the new Fire Lord while he goes off to end the war (and gives himself a new title denoting supreme ruler of the world). Azula's increasing instability and paranoia means she ends up gradually banishing every member of the Royal Household (and, possibly, everyone in the Fire Nation capital) other then the few people needed to coronate her. | |

Dragon Ball: Vegeta likes to remind everyone he's the prince of the Saiyans, even though all but a handful of them were wiped out when he was a young child and the two that respect his authority die fairly early in the story. | |

Jadis, the Last Queen of Charn from The Chronicles of Narnia. In The Magician's Nephew, we find out that she single-handedly eradicated every other lifeform in her universe because her sister had raised a rebellion against her queenhood; with her sister's army at the door, she proved herself to be a sore loser. She then magically preserved herself as a statue until the heroes accidentally freed her, then hitched a ride with them to Earth and ultimately to Narnia, where she became known as the White Witch. | |

In Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, there are no children or teens left in Springwood, yet the adults still put on a pitiful show of a town fair, complete with kiddie entertainments no kids are around to enjoy. The school and orphanage are likewise left to fall apart, each with a crackpot staff member left behind to pretend they still have kids to teach or care for. | |

In The Ωmega Man, Charlton Heston doesn't take much advantage of this trope, since he spends his time hunting zombies. However, his love interest, Lisa, likes to go "shopping" in abandoned department stores. At least until she gets The Virus and does her Face–Heel Turn. | |
