It's 2075, and much chaos occurred. Rebels launched nuclear bombs across the world and it lay in ruins, and only a handful of people are left. You and a band of stragglers are among the survivors.
The rules are simple: First, create your character, including the amount of stragglers you have with you (ranging from 15-150). You are the leader of these people and you call the shots, but I decide the outcome. For example, if you decide to attack another group of people, I can decide that your attacking party gets lost and dies, gets there and is defeated, or gets there and conquers. Also, when calling the shots, nothing too radical, no memes, and definitely no Chuck Norris. Build your empire and conquer others. Here, I'll start, but this is only an example, I won't be playing:

@ryguy997: After over 15 hours of searching, the airport is finally discovered. The terminal is completely leveled, there are 8 fully functional commercial flights, and only 1 fully functional runway.
@sgtpeppers508: Health is only intended to be something only group leaders have. It's literally the measure between still playing and game over. You, the group leader, is the most powerful unit of the group. The rest of the group is basically just backup. Plus it would be too much trouble to scale every group's health to the amount of units they have.

Frigging water drying...
I send some search parties to find another source of water, and begin to institute a rationing of water.
Kylelolcat's search parties discover a river, but it's badly polluted. Meanwhile, 1 child and 2 workers run away in search of water on their own, turning neutral.
Name: Echilda Freedom Age: 26 Number of Stragglers: 39 there were 47 in our group but some died when the bombs went off. Specialization: Anarcho Punk Survivalist Collective, this is what we've been waiting for! Health: 700,000/720,000 Protectors: 38 Number of Soldiers In Group: 38 Workers In Group: 38 Children In Group: 1
We all work together and share in each job we undertake, we lost some of our commrades already and will fight hard to survive, we're willing to be peaceful to anyone we encouter but we are well prepared for the madness that will come from the survivors of this damn mess we've been warning everyone about for years. (anywhere but USA please please please!)

Jeez, is there no good water anywhere near us?
Knowing we have no filter materials and that polluted water is bad, more searches are sent and the lake to be ignored except in need of an absolute emergency (as in, no water AT ALL.)
Echilda: Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan ZombieFreak77: Riga, Latvia
NOTE: You do not have ANY influence over your starting area. I was being lenient for the second time. If you influence your starting area in ANY way, it will be completely ignored. This is to ensure the thrill of the game, not knowing where you're starting until I tell you.
You find the river that flows through what was once Riga. The water's pure and safe to drink. Fish also flourish in the river, though its safety level is still to be determined.
@ZombieFreak77: A child peers over the river, but ends up falling into it. A worker attempts to rescue her, but the child ends up drowning, the worker swimming safely back to shore.
