So when is "Atragon" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because the real-world global conflict World War II is repeatedly stated to have ended 20 years ago and World War II ended in 1945 AD.
1965 AD
We know this because the real-world global conflict World War II is repeatedly stated to have ended 20 years ago and World War II ended in 1945 AD.
1,945 + 20 = 1,965.
More specifically, the Muans announce they will soon attack Tokyo on "February 10". So it is presumably February of 1965 AD.
