In the year 2051, shallow-space NATO rail guns launched an unprovoked attack on the planet Earth, on every nation except America. Genocidal tsunamis sucked bullions of people into the seas. Asteroid ash from surface targets ensured an ice age. The world was quick to notice America hadnt been targeted. The less forward-thinking countries rained 7,500 nuclear missiles on North America, rendering it a glowing wasteland, essentially for eternity.
