The Bear, The Wolf, The Eagle, And The Other Bear (Yet another weird Idea)

[LoA]

So recently I just had an Itching to make a setting set in A: the future, and B: in Eberron, and all of this coalesced into my latest moronic awesome idea! Lets say some time between 2020 and 2090, that rifts in the planescape occurred, and both the Earth and Eberron had multiple portals open up to connect these two worlds together? Would there be crossworld empires? Would earth conquer the Eberronians, or would the technology of the Eberronians be advanced enough to fairly take on our planet, and carve out nations (Which is the situation I think is more interesting)? Should I just be ridiculous, serious, or levels of ridiculousness mixed with some reality? Then I thought, why not start serious, and then get stupid from there?

So I was thinking to have a weird earth where the globe fell apart (I try not to get political, so please let me know if I'm being a twit), whether it be for financial reasons, global plague, or just someone decided to go to war and it got out of control, the point is, there is no UN anymore, and there is no real global unity anymore, and everyone goes back to the way things were before WW1 where everyone is somewhat independent. How should I approach Pre-Galifrian earths situation? Does America engulf itself in a second civil war? Does Europe fall to fascist dictators? You know the classic apocalypse stuff? or is there a more interesting way I could play out the usual apocalyptic tropes? I've never really been into apocalyptic future fiction, so I'm a little fresh to this sort of thing. I've always looked at the past and went "what if" rather than looking into the future and going "What will be"

But here's my best shot:

Act 1
Some sort of catastrophe happens by 2022:

Let's just say it's something beyond human control, like a disease or something, that devastates many populations and the human race on earth isn't as powerful as it once was, not quite "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" level of apocalypse, but many nations are weaker than they once were, and can't produce like they once could, and now there's a global economic crisis, as no one is able to produce the demands that the world needs, so globalism falls apart. Again not for any political reasons, it's just nature.

Now it's 2035:
By now the EU has fallen apart, along with the United Nations, and the United States Union has collapsed in on itself (Not trying to be political). The problem is is that I don't know if the United States would fall apart or not. Would it be able to survive a global collapse, or would it be able to stay united?

I would imagine a significant part of that would have to do with how people would get around once the oil ran out - the U.S. runs on huge amounts of imported oil, and it would be very difficult to keep the country connected using only steam. Over time, I would expect regional differences to grow to the point of splitting, as happened with the first civil war.

Yeah, I gave up on this idea. I realized it's kind of... too on the nose. I was really stupid for posting this.
