world at 2050:
- industrial civilization will have long since disintegrated because of the effects of post-peak oil energy crises and climate change. Most people will live in small rural communities close to food sources, and the vast majority of modern amenities will be long gone
- there will be few, if any, large political entities (countries, states, provinces) left intact
- the population of the earth will probably be somewhere between 1 and 3 billion (though of course there will be no organization capable of counting the population by then), given a large scale die-off after modern, oil-based agriculture fails in the wake of social collapse and energy/oil product scarcity wrought by worsening energy crises
