[ WP ] In a distant future the Equator has become a scorching ring of fire impossible to cross . Centuries have passed without communication between the two halves of the earth . Until now .

The north side of the equator became money hungry and obsessed with status. Ran out of natural resources, famine, disease, and war broke in several areas as the rich remained in gated bubbles that levitate above the mountains. 
 The south side found peace and managed to build stable societies. They prospered and have become one with the land. Big governments do n't exist and they live in harmony. They have advanced in science and technology and have been seeding other planets. They also managed to learn to travel into the past where they've been sending some of their own to the past- before the equator thing happened- using their advanced knowledge to prevent the separation
