Post-apocalyptic societies emerge after a catastrophic event, such as a nuclear war, natural disaster, or pandemic, that drastically alters or destroys civilization. In these settings, survivors often face challenges like scarcity of resources, loss of infrastructure, and the breakdown of social order. Communities may form around shared goals, such as finding food, shelter, and safety. These societies can vary widely in structure and culture. Some may adopt a tribal or nomadic lifestyle, while others might attempt to rebuild technology and governance. The remnants of the old world, including technology, government, and social norms, often influence how these new communities develop and interact.
