Oil. Practically every facet of our modern civilization depends on it. So what would happen if it ran out?
That's exactly what happened in 2024. Well, it didn't happen all at once, like somebody turning off the faucet. No, it happened slowly. It started in the summer of 2008. That's when the international demand for oil surpassed the ability of oil producers to pump more to keep supply ahead of demand. 'Peak Oil', they called it.
In hindsight, it should have been hard to miss what happened next. The price of oil jumped from 70$, to over 100$ per barrel. Aside from paying more for gas and heating your home, no one seemed to notice at first. It was conventional wisdom that the price would go down again. But instead, oil prices begin an irrevocable rise that slowly began to weigh on global economies and advance energy to the forefront of national policies. Then it hit. A worldwide depression came. The developing nations suffered the most, then it hit the big ones. Entire nations crumbled.
Desperate for energy, the superpowers, the USA, Europe, Russia and China, found themselves in a stand-off over some of the world's last oil reserves of oil. There wasn't enough for everybody, and nobody could get it alone. So they hastily allied into two super blocks, The Western Coalition, comprising the USA and EU and the Red Star Alliance; evolved from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Everybody knows it's just a matter of time before somebody fires the first shot.
