The rusty sea fort of the "Principality of Sealand", a self-proclaimed micronation by Paddy Roy Bates that sits between the former UK and the former Netherlands. The elder Bates died in 2003 from a combination of stress and fall out while his children currently have no future plans for the sea fort.

You'd think that after DD seaforts like this one would become prime real-estate.

Nope. Sea forts are difficult to maintain and are subject to weather. Resupply is also difficult.

If the Principality of Sealand in OTL is a rusty tourist attraction, it is probably even rusty and forgotten in the Doomsday timeline. Only the locals or those who heard of Sealand would even be interested to visit it as priorities changed. In OTL, even some of my friends and family members never even heard of Sealand.

Illegal street racing event in the one of the highways of Australia. These are inspired on the 1980s culture of street racing in Japan known as the Mid Night Club on the former Bayshore Route (Wangan-sen). Doomsday affected the culture of street racing which was largely forgotten up until some fans dug up old records and revived the movement.
