In order for residents to understand how Rabid X was slowed and sent into near non-existence, the following passages will offer the most accurate information.
⌦ OVERVIEW
⌦ OVERVIEW
⌦ OVERVIEW
Rabid X was, undoubtedly, an absolute nightmare. It started slow and then spread like wildfire, prompting immediate and momentous action. From mass nuclear bombings and underground safekeeping, the effects were as disastrous as they were necessary. The effects of these decisions were far-reaching, impacting the entire country and its immediate neighbors the hardest. This had a drastic impact on the environment as a whole, resulting in increased water levels (and flooding as a result), consequential climate change, and lingering high levels of radiation that transformed plant and wildlife into something unexpected and in some cases absolutely barbaric.

⌦ Eradication
When it first began to spread, Rabid X was a silent but deadly threat. No one really realized just how much damage it was capable of, nor could they pinpoint exactly what was causing it in its earliest stages. Unfortunately, before anyone could determine anything substantial, it was far too late to consider any viable treatment options as it had spread beyond anyone's wildest stretch of imagination.
In order to combat its mass spread, drastic measures had to be taken--in truth, it was a decidedly feeble attempt at sparing even the smallest shred of the population that had been "lucky" enough to get the disease's dormant strain. These lucky individuals were ushered underground for safe keeping. The biggest cities were primarily targeted because it was the most efficient avenue, allowing for the largest number of infected individuals to be dealt with in the time that had been allotted.

⌦ Aftermath
The actions of our forefathers proved to be both a beneficial and harmful endeavor. While, yes, it helped to eradicate a significant amount of individuals who had contracted the disease, it left the country and its immediate neighbors inundated with high levels of radiation that would greatly impact the environment on a whole. The communities surrounding these cities were no doubt demolished in the wake of the nuclear debris and radioactive waste that dispersed upon impact.
The country's shape changed drastically, with the coastal areas and some of the surrounding states being engulfed beneath the ocean or any large lakes. As a result, states no longer exist--it is, instead, just a large landmass without any defined areas beyond the three districts that emerged once it was deemed safe to do so.
Radiation, the disease, and a combination of the two have changed the flora and fauna beyond any stretch of recognition. Mutations of wildlife and plant life alike run rampant throughout the land, afflicted with several disorders that are the direct result of radiation poisoning.
To be certain, the present is drastically different than the past.
