Could this be an intersting back story for a...story?

Its working title is Home or Something Like It, but that's subject to change. This isn't the plot, but simply an explanation of the world the story is set in. I would like suggestions/critic on it, thank you. Home or Something Like It takes place six or so hundred years into the future. After the collapse of society as we know it the world was left in shambles. Nearly two thirds of the population was wiped out, and those who remained were forced to survive in almost third world conditions. In what used to be North America they lived in small townships spread out across the continent, with the only form of communication being letter and travel. However it didn’t take long for the West, Middle and East (or The Holy, The Cold, and The Heaven) to distance themselves as they hit a sort of renascence era when countless inventions and innovations were being made, that far surpassed the technologies of today in form, function, and environmental health. However, the Heaven and the Holy became more and more violent with each other until eventually there was a great war. Between all the fighting, The Cold was nearly obliterated and in the end, The Heaven was forced from the north, fleeing to South America. The people of The Cold expanded their territory, trying to defend themselves from The Holy, but in their small numbers they were hardly a threat and were quickly diminished to small groups of resistance hiding across Central and Northern America. The Holy rose to a great empire in the area that was once California all the way down to La Pas and the Gulf of California with many technologically advanced cities and an intricately woven light rail system. And when ever they can, they take members of The Cold resistance. In hopes of one day riding North America of The Cold all together, The Holy has begun to create an elite infiltration team, code name, The Dark Angels. or too cheesy and cliche? Be politely honest, thank you.

1. i like it =3 its fresh, it's new, it's great!
2. Actually, that sounds pretty cool! It sounds exactly like the kind of thing that I'd like to read. I do like the working title, Home or Something Like It, but to me it does sound a tad cheesy. The plot sounds really good though. I am wondering how you came up with the three names, The Holy, The Cold and The Heaven. You may want to mention that in the story. Happy writing! :)
