worldbuilding for this ill never use again
capitalism has killed God . literally.
what remains of earth after the conflict is built inside the corpse of the thing the united militaries of earth destroyed 50 years ago, mostly because the rest of the planet was almost entirely submerged with the amount of water its body displaced when it fell into the pacific ocean.
made of a largely radial body, countries have been dissolved into 'arms' — twenty (remaining) in total, each spanning from about 500km at the shortest to slightly upwards of 1750km at the longest. all of them are uniformly 104km at thickest, near the base.
at the base, the Ribcage, as is called in common vernacular (despite not having a skeleton in a traditional sense) is where the majority of organs were originally housed before excavation began, having been broken down into a gargantuan cavern of factories and smoke and buildings in between like sand filling a jar full of rocks, all made of a substance known as crystal filament (all attempts to probe into its actual composition have been fruitless, preventing a more precise name.) it has a texture somewhat like fiberglass, but if the strands were the size of rebar
resistant to shattering and shear forces, light and able to hold several hundred times its weight, crystal filament is believed to have been the the closest analog to God's skeleton. it's able to be efficiently melted down and cast into many materials, but most commonly used for building structures similar to injection molding
i haven't worked on the governmental system or society or anything yet but this is the setting i literally just came up with as i wrote it
