The World

Jone lives in an Earth like place that suffered some kind of apocalypse or cataclysm. Though the cataclysm may very well simply be the return of the Olds.

The nature of the world and how it came to be this way is central mystery of the series, but is rarely directly addressed.

Electricity and gasoline are scarce and books are rare.

The Olds are apparently pretty rare outside areas like Jone's: In /He'll Be Okay/, the Green party canvaser didn't seem to know about ogres, and was surprised and scared of the goblins.

Somewhat parallel to our own world: they have Covid-19.

Mentions of the apocalypse

Preppers took over the school at one point, but now it's just a lot

The apocalypse happened three years ago?

Government

There is the federal government and local chieftons. And Amazon is some kind of political power, even able to grant some kind of citizenship and provide infrastructure like electricity, plumbing, and internet.

There are Braxon chieftons who have guns and walkie talkies and deal with truckers.

There is a "Greens" party

Jone's area is officially ceded from the federation and hasn't voted in years.
