In the late 2020s food shortages and increasing corporate power, combined with a decrease in the effective power of the federal government slowly led to the collapse of the United States of America. Local grocery chains began to usurp the state and local governments as people sought more solace and identity with mere stores before their "political" governments, only for groceries to become the new politics when armed men seemed to seize control of random stores across the country one day. Nobody knows for sure who shot first. Some blame Walmart. Some blame a nameless "deep state", "cabal" or chalk it up to late-stage-capitalism. Whatever it was, it began one of the strangest collapses of any large state in human history, and a bloody chapter in the history of America. Most foreign observers were just surprised it wasn't over fast food.
