I suppose Urth could be post-Rapture, but really, nothing he describes 
in BotNS is as bad as has happened on our post-Crucifixion earth. 19th 
and 20th century Asia in particular endured a string of large scale 
atrocities, one of which is still going on strong in the DPRK where 
Wolfe must have personally met some of its future victims.
