Were the other areas not affected or did they recover better?

eroock: The other areas weren't affected to begin with, but the reader was led to believe that they were.

Note sure but Not So Remote talks about Polluted Wasteland in its fourth paragraph.
I've read a couple of comics that take place in post-apocalyptic worlds, but in a surprising twist, it turned out that the world was actually still okay. Modern civilization was actually fine, and it was only in the region where the story took place that things had become post-apocalyptic. (I could name the actual comic series, but since it's usually a spoiler I won't.)
Is that a trope?
