Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting	comment	While "post-apocalyptic" can refer to any setting or situation existing in the wake of a devastating calamity, the term tends to conjure a very specific picture in many people's minds. Generally, this is a dramatized image of a post-nuclear war world, one which often doesn't bear a whole lot of resemblance to what such a world would realistically look like but which is instead the result of a number of popular misconceptions and dramatic license gradually becoming rooted in the popular consciousness until their specific result has become the standard image of what the world will look like after the bombs fall. These settings typically share a number of key features:

Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Destiny: The Dark Age was this, by all accounts. Taking place between the destruction of human civilization by a Sentient Cosmic Force and the City Age that saw it re-established under the Last City, this was a period where people lived hardscrabble lives in scattered towns and villages, dominated by feuding warlords armed with guns and Functional Magic. Also there were alien raiders in the mix razing such settlements whenever they could. This period ended when the Iron Lords, a warlord faction with greater vision, resources, and morals than the rest, told the others to Join or Die, curbing their abuses and pooling their resources. The Iron Lords were one of the major contributors to the founding of the Last City.

The surviving humans (or rather, their descendants) live in isolated, high-tech cities. The series, however, depicts it as much more habitable.

Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting / int_66d1f5ce	comment	Played straight in Far Cry: New Dawn in all respects except the world. A nuclear war destroyed civilization in the canonical ending of Far Cry 5, the protagonists are a post-apocalyptic community in Montana, the villains are an apunkalyptic gang called the Highwaymen, and there's lots of Schizo Tech and mutated wildlife... except, seventeen years after World War III, the burned-out wastelands have started sprouting new life, giving way to a "superbloom" of flowers and color across the landscape. The developers deliberately wanted to avoid the stereotypical image of the post-apocalypse as a barren desert devoid of life, feeling that it had become a clichÃ©.

The time machine can sometimes transport you to one of these stages, which is marked by a gas mask in Super Scribblenauts. The goal is usually to help your allies in battle or to avoid the fighting and rescue the starite.

Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting / int_6f70ad52	comment	Wasteland: A spiritual predecessor of sorts to the Fallout series, set in the deserts of the Southwestern U.S., decades after a global nuclear war between the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union. The protagonists are the Desert Rangers, The Remnant of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that survived the cataclysm and reorganized themselves into a paramilitary force dedicated to protecting fellow survivors from the various mutants, monsters, and punk-like raiders prowling the wasteland. By 2087, civilization is slowly rebuilding itself, with functioning settlements found throughout Arizona and Nevada (and California and Colorado in the sequels). However, a new threat emerges when the Desert Rangers encounter a pre-war artificial intelligence that is raising an army of robots intent on wiping out the last remnants of humanity and repopulating the planet with cyborgs. The sequel Wasteland 3 changes the setting up a bit compared to the others by swapping out the barely-livable deserts of Arizona, Nevada and California to the barely-living tundra of Colorado.

In Moscow, at least, the surface is so heavily irradiated and toxic that wearing a gasmask is mandatory. As if that weren't enough, there's numerous hostile human factions still out there, ranging from various bandit groups to militant factions of Dirty Communists and Those Wacky Nazis, and even a Cannibal Clan and Evil Luddite group at separate points.

More than four thousand years before the game, the krogan started a nuclear war that ravaged their planet. In the game, it's a blasted wasteland. The surface of the planet is known for deadly radiation, scorching heat, and virulent plagues. Most of the animals species and more than a few of the plants are carnivorous. Krogan live in the remains of old ruins, their social groups are clans that are in a near-constant state of war with each other over what meager resources they can find.

Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting / int_76b8cb10	comment	Fallout: The franchise is at its core an homage to this trope. A devastating nuclear exchange between the despotic governments of China and the US left the world a scorched, barren wasteland, roamed by horribly mutated animals and humans, rogue war robots, genetically engineered bioweapons that breached containment and went feral, and bands of barbaric raiders with few ambitions beyond killing, stealing, and wasting their lives on alcohol and drugs. Plant life is mostly of the scattered, sickly, and barren sort; lush growth mostly exists in sites where the old government ran biological experiments and is rarely safe to be around. Surviving settlements tend to be insular and shoddily built, and often rely on small-scale agriculture and scavenging for survival; by the later games, however, larger nations and trade networks begin to form. Not all of the emerging governments are very benign, however, and numerous areas and cities are under the rule of ambitious warlords, criminal syndicates, and large neo-barbarian hordes.

Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting / int_8e569dee	comment	The Mad Max series is the Trope Codifier for the aesthetics of this setting. After a peak oil-induced collapse of society that culminated in a nuclear war, Australia is a land of vast, lifeless deserts dotted with scattered communities built around the few surviving factories, refineries, and clean aquifers that remain. Most survivors are either amoral, cynical survivors, opportunistic despots and warlords tyrannizing communities held under their thumbs, bands of raiders who lurk in the wastes and prey on both surviving holdouts and anyone passing through their lands, and desperate refugees trying to survive the madness while maybe building a better future. Mutation from the fallout is a serious problem, and many characters are afflicted with physical deformities and handicaps of various sorts. Through it all moves Mad Max himself, wandering joylessly around the world when he's not getting roped into helping to defeat the warlord of the day.

The world after the end is the usual scarred landscape of brown wastes and shattered cities, mostly inhabited by vicious and mutated animals and zombie-like feral humans, while human society — such as it is — consists of disaffected survivors and quite a lot of mutants, and is firmly ruled by the Syndicate, a mix of a capitalist corporation and a medieval feudal society. The lack of plant life is a major plot point — one of the plagues killed anything with chlorophyll except for a strain of kudzu that adapted by becoming carnivorous, and the Syndicate rules in large part by controlling all the remaining pre-war ration packets. The fact that these are a finite resource is a major problem, and La RÃ©sistance plans to bring them down by keeping the last replenishable food source on the planet well out of their hands.
