Today 2067, the earth is ninety percent underwater, big parts of the world have
disappeared.

world and ignore the many warning signs, removed environmental protections,
allowed for aggressive exploitation of natural resources, and initiated a third World
War. The earth started to warm up rapidly, soon after natural disasters increased
destroying cities and parts of the world. By 2022, the earth had gotten two Celsius
degrees hotter. The aggressive industrialization without the proper environmental
protections and the use of Nuclear bombs accelerated this rapid increase of
temperature. In order to survive and thanks to social media, the world assume an
alliance (Protect the Earth from Human Predators). Citizens from around the world
joint the movement and surviving nations had not choice but to assume PEHP
rules, regulations and laws by 2022. For the first time in the history of the world,
regular citizens were in charge of nations, this was a new way of government and
living and was still in place in 2067.
