On some worlds people are just bound and determined to make their lives dangerous and short.  They take huge risks and, if they are lucky enough to survive them, may get no reward at all.

This is an Earth/Aerth/Urth world that has seriously lost control.  It is a testament though to how people can survive almost anything.

Nuclear disasters destroyed vast swaths of it.  Industrial waste and human refuse have spoiled another chunk but some of that is being recycled.  City-States, corporate oligarchies, criminal organizations, heavily armed communal groups, and small Regional governments rule this planet.  Many people cluster around huge corporate compounds that still do most of the producing.  Transportation of goods has become a death sport. Technological advances were extraordinary in the face of necessity and the greed and malevolence of the rich.

The roads of this world are dangerous.  There is an active sport called Autodueling that pits drivers against each other in both organized and chaotic conflict.  The sporting angle of it gives a modicum of legitimization to the production of equipment that is then used, often as not, to further the insane degrees of regular violence on this world. National legal systems have allowed death-sports as a defined exception to the laws defining Murder.

<span style=color:darkgreen>Caine brought me here once. He said he wanted to find a world that had taken consumerism and militarism to the extremes. Someplace he could get a vehicle built for dangerous work. He found it. I spent a bit of time learning the hows and whys of this place and it makes no sense at all. It is a conflict of paradoxes.

==World Description==
 
The war began in fire in the year 1990.  It has never really ended.
 
 
The world is struggling through the aftermath of a global nuclear holocaust.  The war began suddenly and for what all sides said afterwards were uncertain provocation.  Nuclear weapons ruined the breadbasket states of the United States of America and the Oil and Gold ranges of Sibera.  The rest of the world followed suit in  their own wars and the nations of the world fell apart. 
 
 
''What the people of the world do not know is that during the '''Black Road War''' between Amber and Chaos two intrusions of the forces of Chaos occured, like they did in Lorraine.  One stretching from the North Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico and on east of the Urals to the Pacific Ocean.  The USA and the USSR each responded thinking the other was attacking it.  Other nuclear powers responded on their own.''
