Before you think I am completely against you, I'm not I'm enjoying this topic because it's benefitting the wikia.

In situations like that, there would be some attempt by a small few to create stability whether that was power to themselves, or to make sure everyone didn't kill eachother when there was a bigger enemy; Like in the American Revolution where all the Americans had to do was survive and keep their congress and army partially intact, whilst the British hunted them. All the (Resistance) Americans had to do was create a little control and survive, the government would have been a hope and morale for the others. Albeit millions of towns have seemed to survive in 1953 but in Resistance 3 you encounter settlements and towns inhabited by a group of people.

Also Resistance 3 is based 4 years after the book, so maybe a lot of those settlements and that government got found and destroyed by death squads.. Just like Tunnel-Through at the end. IMO The Gatherin Storm is less insync with the timeline than A Hole in the Sky.
