America's been bloodied but not beaten. An estimated twenty million people have died, but an exact count may never be known. The entire country is buried beneath poison ash and many still aren't accounted for. The survivors are hurting, but they must find ways to keep going. Good old American ingenuity goes into high gear. The farmers find new ways to grow crops on poisoned land. Truckers find new ways to get vital cargo to where it needs to be. In every city the residents find new ways to grow what they need and to help one another pull through. Meanwhile it seems everyone in America is moving. The evacuees are moving as far as they can from the smoking hole in the ground which was once Yellowstone National Park. The federal government is spending money it doesn't have... nothing new for them... only this time it's using the money to build new cities in isolated places in an effort to help with the largest resettlement project in the history of man.
