Your world ended 5 years ago when the Republic of Maurens was put into quarantine.
The virus was a quick news story at first, until it reached your home, and everything fell apart. People died in front of you, being torn alive by other people turned animalistic. However you survived so long is just a story, at least you're alive.
Before, the world was focused on war, it was promising for Maurens, the country was large a prosperous, with many supercities, a small news story popped up in everyone's mail "Fast Acting Virus ravaging Alisia". Not many people were worried about it, Alisia was a rural continent on the other side of the world with countries that stayed massively uninvolved, it happened sometimes. An update appeared months later "Entire Continent Radio Silent". It struck fear in some, but still, most of the world didn't care, until it was at their doorstep.
The Republic of Maurens fell apart and neighbouring countries put it into quarantine, the virus named the Furorvirus and most of the world forgot about it. inside Maurens was like hell on earth, one day, everyone was supporting the war effort, the next, strangers were eating eachother alive, buildings were setting fire, and chaos spread, the Republic of Maurens fell apart entirely in weeks, and the country was cut off completely.
Research began, the Furorvirus was considered a close relative to Rabies, way harder to cure and way more aggressive. It took over the body entirely in hours, it spread through infecting livestock, getting in the meat that everyone in Maurens relied on to survive, that's how it wiped out almost an entire country.
The rest of the world moved on entirely, efforts to find a cure stopped, but the quarantine stayed up, every year 1 or 2 survivors would show up at the concrete wall around Maurens and be rescued, but that was it.
