Well, close to that, yes. Not quite WW3 yet.
[/quote]You worded this rather strangely.
WW3 in that RP happened during 2030-2040. Basically all the present day problems were exaggerated and peaked out in a series of wars which was together to be called WW3 there.

I have no problem with WW3 or anything like that not happening in your setting (yet).
Although it's going to be impossible to see the collapse of present day nations without anything seriously drastic happening. So if you wish to free this game from any connection to modern politics it's the best if you add a near-apocalyptic WW3 in the background, IMO.
