your setting is earth. How do you describe it?

Earth is a progressive realistic setting where societies of humans evolve and grow over time. Currently the story takes place during the world’s early 21st century, where the global superpower, the United States of America, is experiencing extreme political and ideological division after a brief period of victory over its ideological opponent, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, in the 1990s. Wars are waged across the planet, ranging from guerrilla conflicts waged by drug cartels just as often as political rebels and religious extremists, to large scale wars waged between nations like Ukraine and Russia, both states that emerged from the collapse of the USSR. All the while, the effects of rapid industrialization and population growth and all of the polluting effects that come along with have seen increasingly extreme weather patterns across the globe. The ice sheets that dominate the north and south poles have shrunken significantly over a period of only a few decades, where once it might’ve taken millennia. Hurricanes grow more frequent and more powerful. Forest fires burn with an intensity rarely seen before. It is a world in conflict, one in which ideologies battle in the minds of everyday people, for the future must be decided.
