Apparently there's an apocalypse scale out there meant to judge the magnitude an power of apocalytpic event's power on modern civilization. There's a least 4 currently known types so I'll list them
Apocalypse Type I (Social disarray)- In this apocalyptic scenario society has regressed in its way of thinking, communication, economy, and government. Such apocalypses are notable for the fall of major world governments and they go through a massive effort that likely lasts 40 years trying to rebuild itself to its former status. During this time radical ideas (thinking) may arise in order to counter the new governments, communication and social life would definitely be set back a bit. Technology won't change but there will be a massive sense of distrust and disarray among its people that could likely tie to the first point and lead to the rise of radical ideas. Economy will definitely be set back likely resulting in a massive recession or a big depression that could set production values at an all time low. Governments themselves are likely to become a bit more tyrannical in an effort to keep order among its populace. Basically an apocalypse like this would be the product of a limited nuclear war, asteroid impact, major pandemics, and other stuff. This type of apocalypse I think is probably the most realistic in modern times and maybe to recover from.
Media example- Akira, Jericho, and Rage for the moment.
Apocalypse Type II (Technological setback)- These are common most in media. In this case we take every thing that happened in type I and throwback the proper means of manufacturing new technology and civilization is set back to pre-industrial times. The old governments didn't survive and neither did the knowledge on how to use industrial machines or make them. Mostly everything would have to go back using older weapons like muskets and black powder guns and the only other ways economies would be thriving is through agriculture, livestock, and other means of production. Even weapon and armor production would become a thing for an economy to thrive on Media example- Fallout, Metro, The Walking Dead, and likely the Terminator.
Apocalypse Type III (Welcome to the Middle Ages motherfuckers!)- Uncommon but this is what happens when you take everything with Type II and go even farther back. Like technology regressed so badly now people have resorted to using very old methods of governance and the means of making firearms has apparently become non existent along with the knowledge on how to make modern clothing or armor. Shit regressed so far back that there's a another Middle Ages by the 31st century. No internet, no phones, no cars, no tv, modern society has fallen apart as we know it and regressed. Media examples- The only current one I know is Fist of the North Star
Apocalypse Type IV (Meet the Flintstones)- The worst of the worst and least of the least. This scenario, we get thrown back the stone age literally! If we're not thrown back. We're wiped out and face extinction. We're working with stone knives, hunting gathering, bows, and giant creatures that want to kill us. Really you never see these in media. Media Example- Halo 4 apparently because originally humanity was a giant empire until the forerunners destroyed their society and sent them to Earth and became hunter gatherers.
What do you think of the list? Wanna make your own? Any adjustments needed?
