Society as we know it would quickly break down. Chaos and murder and suspicion would reign. People would start to hoard valuable materials. Houses would be barricaded. The most ruthless people would use their weapons upon the less ruthless. Food in the cities would quickly dry up and there would be a mass exodus into the countryside as hungry people look for food. Riots and armed mobs would rule the land. Electricity would cut out as would gasoline and fresh water.

A new form of government would quickly arise. The wealthy and powerful (and ruthless, those willing to use violence) would fill the power vacuum left when the old government disappeared. A new oligarchy/plutocracy/fascism would be established. First on a small scale, individual communities. Later on a larger scale of towns, counties and states.
