Earth 2150 - Escape from the Blue Planet Steam Key GLOBAL | Steam Key - GLOBAL

The 21st century was expected to usher in an era of unprecedented progress. The struggles and hardships that marked the past 20,000 years—war, famine, and strife—were to recede into the past, eclipsed by a future of scientific breakthroughs promising global peace and prosperity. At the close of the 20th century, a now-forgotten U.S. president even boldly declared the onset of a New World Order, where justice, rather than force, would shape international relations. However, this envisioned future did not materialize. The first signs of trouble were a catastrophic collapse of global stock and currency markets, followed by the desperate dissolution of major international conglomerates in a futile effort to stem the economic bleeding. By 2012, the global economy had imploded, leading to widespread poverty and hunger that ignited social and political unrest. As the crisis deepened, optimism faded, and the specter of worldwide conflict loomed large. By 2048, the anticipated global conflict erupted with devastating intensity, toppling centralized governments and laying waste to entire regions. Europe and Eastern Asia suffered greatly, with major cities from Madrid to Moscow and Seoul to Singapore obliterated. Despite the chaos, humanity's inherent resilience shone through. Within twelve years, survivors began to rebuild and reestablish their nations, though with significant changes. In the remnants of the United States, twelve states merged to form a new nation known as the United Civilized States (UCS), where human roles as producers and leaders had been relinquished to robots managed by advanced computer systems. As a result, the citizens of the UCS grew complacent and indulgent. The 20th-century aspirations for a brighter world ultimately culminated in widespread devastation.
