Timeline

What follows is an incomplete timeline of all events in the Boiled Alive universe.

The Boiled Alive universe takes place in a universe that diverged from our own in the early 20th Century, at which point humanity experienced a technological revolution. Nuclear weapons were designed and used during World War I, and World War II lasted well into the mid-1960s. By the 1970s, Earth's technology was primarily nuclear-based. In the chaos, two world superpowers were formed: the United Nations, consisting of North and South America, Africa and western Europe; and the Warsaw Treaty Organization, consisting of the Soviet Union, all of Asia, eastern Europe, and Oceania.

 * The human population exceeds 12 billion. In response, the United Nations creates the Global Demography Council to monitor the population.

2055

 * Hot Summer: The Great Collapse begins and ends in less than 24 hours. Who fired first is unknown, but both the western and the eastern powers become locked in an intense nuclear exchange. Some believe that the nukes were launched by the Global Demography Council in an attempt to curb the unsustainable human population. Approximately 70% of the human population is wiped out in a matter of hours, with the United States, Russia, China and Europe being severely impacted.
