Saint Petersburg, USSR
The atomic wasteland. The common name for Saint Petersburg after the bombs fell... or, what was left of Petersburg, anyway. Exactly three hundred years ago, the entire planet went to hell after a globe-shattering war over land, power, gold, and --most importantly-- oil. Precious "black gold". Once the wells began to run dry, Earth's farmland began to become contaminated by oil residue; killing crops, and coincidentally gold's creation process started to take a significantly longer time to complete; thus making it even more rare than before. With their economies in such a headlock, the majority of the planet refused to listen to reason, and they all decided that the only way to spread the remaining resources thick enough... was to over-graze.
At first, all this did was piss hippies off; everyone else, however, was doing fine. Miners and oil drillers took oil and gold more often and from preservations; thus lowering gold and gas' prices signifcantly. Farmers would over-farm what little safe land they had left, thus making more food (for the time being), thus hurting starvation rates. However, over-grazing only helped the stupid world leaders so much; Saudi Arabia had literately ran out of all of her oil by 2100; Africa had no gold mines left by then, and European and American farmers soon realised that they had accidently killed their remaining land from all of the steriods and chemicals they put into the ground to grow their crops faster and make 'em bigger. It was the Special Period and the Great Depression all over again: millions commited suicide, and the rest were living like savages; former billionaires were street beggers, and cannibalism started to become common among the many, many poor.
Despite the fact that the world was falling apart, Nazi Germany --a fascist country that, unlike its real-life counterpart, did not dissolve after WWII-- launched thousands of nukes at North American, South American, and Caribbean countries so they'd "stop 'wasting' so much of Mother Germany's priceless farmland" in 2112. Outraged because of the attack, the UN planned to launch atomic missles at Germany to avenge their fallen brethern. Unfortunately for them, word of their plan got to Germany's Führer, Gregovich Fellidin. Fellidin decided he wasn't going down without a fight. He and his fascist brother-country, the Italian Social Republic, created and stole millions of nukes in a mere month, and launched them all immediately at every single country in the world, including --for some odd reason-- themselves. The explosion was said to have deafened several dozen survivors, and make many more spaz the fuck out.
Unfortunately, the radiation and irradiated shit didn't fade away until two hundred years later, around the year 2300. A little after this, the human survivors, who had been living in gigantic bomb shelters and "water shelters" (they're practically cruise ships), left their refuges to help recolonise the Earth. Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as they had hoped: animals and humans, who had been on the surface when the bombs dropped, had mutated into monsters and feral zombies; dishonest survivors, who don't feel like sharing, became raiders and looters and shot each other in the back over a god damned candy bar; most of the water --with the exception of sewers-- had became and remained extremely irradiated to such an extant, that a single sip would fuck you right the hell up and destroy your genes. Not only that, but Italian fascist remnants and Socialistic insurgents are trying to take over the charred remains of Eastern Europe.
Well, that is survival of the fittest for you. Kill or be killed. But don't worry: it's not always violent in the Wasteland... Oh shit, I think I heard a zombie.
Lock and load: Let's teach these bastards how real men fight.
