It is the year 50,000, 3 years earlier North America and South America collided with Asia. Soon after, a nuclear war broke out, and the newly formed landmass was turned into a barren waist land full of radiation. The world's population dropped to just over 50 million people, unknown to most of the world, Australia remained untouched. Australia relying on its own resources, soon became a utopia of sorts, compared to the rest of the world it was paradise. The few million remaining humans left on the other continents began to slowly band together into clans, who later fought for survival and prestige. Since 90 of the world's vegetation and animals had died, the humans became cannibals. With nothing else to do but their jobs soon Australians got bored, until one man created Hell On Earth. This show became the most popular past time in world history. The richest man in Australia set up clan battles on the barren waist land, which was the remainder of most of the world. When one of the clans wiped out the other, they received a prize, and could take all of the other clan's worldly possessions. The battles began more or less as real wrestling, people killing each other with their bare hands, the winners eating the losers, and receiving a reward of weapons, armor, clothing. But soon, the battles changed drastically, clans had weapons, armor, and experience that made the battles either drawn out or very quickly. Also with so much exposure to radiation, the combatants began to mutate, people with similar DNA changing similarly, soon everyone's last names changed to reflect what mutation they had. Also the prizes they used to receive were trivial since they could just take their dead enemies weapons, armor, clothes… wives… so soon the prizes became real food, something everyone needs, everyone wants, and everyone was willing to kill for.
