Nuclear Fire Survival

The whole world was damned by Nuclear Fire 280 years ago! many people have survived due to them living outside the blast zones. No country was spared, due to the radiation seeping into other countries from The Bombs. so every country will be ruined in a way. many creatures, crops, and even humans have been affected by the Influx of radiation. places outside of settlements are called Wastes, depending on what state or country your in, the wastes will be called diffrent names. in the wastes their are obviously ruins, broken cities, and small towns that didnt make it. these places are called deadzones. Deadzones rarely contain people, but they do contain Radioactive creatures. Making them pivotal places for scavenging, but also very risky.
