While huge portions of the land had been destroyed or covered with ash, and others either crumbled or flooded as parts of the land rearranged themselves under the influence of the bombs, there were still 53 counties which did survive, and as ordered, each began to fend for itself under the rule of its sheriff. Lack of communication infrastructure and centralized power, each county became as a separate political entity, each with its own ideas about government and power. As the generations past, each county began develop its own manor of rulership. In some place the descendants of sheriffs called themselves kings. In other places the office was elected, and the rulers had taken to calling themselves Presidents. In still others, the rulers saw their lands as a place of equality, and the peasants called each other "comrade". 53 distinct governments for the 53 counties of The Known World.
