World of Pure

Earth is primarily land over water. There are large underground reservoirs beneath the crust. Much of the planet has slowly been turning into desert and unfarmable lands. So far, attempts to increase growing area is not meeting with much success. Walls have been erected as a final effort at city borders to hold back the sands as long as possible.

Upon leaving the city, Sasha and Blake were not actually IN the wasteland yet. They're just outside the main wall, which means that there ARE citizens of New America WITHIN the walls and that area isn't heavily populated. Think about it like the border between the US and Mexico... except with three huge walls.

There are five primary cultures that exist in the world of PURE, based on five seperate 'nations' which are: Canada, New America, Old America, Japan and Texas. Originally there were more nations, but they have been swallowed by deserts.

Regardless of this threat to the general way of life, there are many who live well in the deserts and animals outfitted for that type of life are plentiful.
