How much of a society is there at this point in the post apocalypse? It's alluded to, but how big are settlements generally, how much contact do they have with each other, etc? Like, cross country communication? Different continents?

The most of the biggest settlements are still clocking in at less than a thousand people, with the absolute largest being around 5k-ish.

The ground is still poisoned in most places, so a lot of communities are nomadic and keep to smaller groups(and tbh the folk who were already doing the nomad thing pre war did better than everyone else by like. A Long Shot. Both because the majority of them weren't in the blasted areas and because they already had the systems and know how in place to survive the world around them dying.)

The cities that have been built up are reliant on areas where moving water has turned over the soil and laid new sediment dragged up from deeper bodies to cover over and wash away the worst of the radiation and chemical weapon residue. So while these places Exist, there's still not enough arable land to really sustain the crops/livestock needed to feed larger populations.

And like. The total global human population was dropped from 10billilon, to barely more than a hundred million at this point. There's not enough hands for anything too grand to have been established yet. It's the sorta transitional period between the "barely surviving the end of the end" to the "begining to recover" phases of post apocalypse restoration.

There is a lot of communication that happens between nearby settlements, and the nomadic groups that pass between them, usually in written letters carried by the nomads, or by scavengers who were making runs in that direction anyways.

Some places do have radio networks built from the remains of old bunker communication systems, but they aren't expansive and there's a lot of holes still kicking around.

And like, There is larger range communication and trade that happens, but it's done the Old school way via snail mail and the nomads who take larger paths. Think Way stripped down 0 CE to get the Vibe on that front. The know how to set like the internet and global scale communications is still there, there's just not enough resources or people to get the work needed for that done at any kind of speed.

like I guess that's the tldr. People are dreaming of getting global communication, large settlements/cities, and the nearly forgotten comforts of pre war time back up and running again, and they Know how to do it, they just don't have the resources and hands to do it.
