[@The Nexerus] About right. The Cataclysm threw humanity back to the Iron Age, forcing us to rebuild from scratch up till we reach this retrofuture-esqe setting.

How long did that process take, from the second, apocalypse-induced Iron Age back to the current era? It seems weird that national identities from before the cataclysm have still survived, unless we're talking about a [i]very[/i] short amount of time.
