DBWI: No World War III!

OOC: Don't discount the fear in a lot of people after something like this happens. If its possible to survive by gaining food, air and water underground, there might very well be people stuck under high radiation locations.
They'd have no way out and even trying to look at the sky could be lethal.
At this point, they could be stuck and unable to know. Of course, the ash clears entirely within 1 year, tops.
The world is only now beginning to recover, with the Second UN and the re-establishment of the United Stares. yet we are still stuck with '60s technology and China and Russia remain absolute hellholes. as for the south(shudder). Nixon was an honest man who would have gotten a reasonable solution to Cuba.
If the war didn't happen, I probably wouldn't be living under this wretched military government. The soldiers help themselves to whatever we produce and bully those who dare to stand up to them until they do. I'm a farmer and what little I can grow barely feeds my family as it is. We weren't hit directly of course, but many of our trading partners overseas were devastated. The country fell into chaos as mass panic spread that we could be targeted next. The military declared that the civilian government wasn't doing enough to "protect" us and so declared martial law and the generals have been ruling us ever since. Public gatherings are strictly forbidden and the only news I can get are from military rags that call themselves "newspapers". Maybe I'm just frustrated, wasting my ink ration on something as pointless as emotional venting, but if it saves me from a lifetime of insanity, so be it.
Whats wood? I just yell into a bottle and throw it out the window in the hopes someone will find it
No no no. The radiation disrupts sound waves when they're in enclosed areas, you'd do much better if you could get one of those sets of tin cans connected by a string and toss THAT out of the window, I don't think the radiation will ruin those.
You better hope the army don't have you sent to the internment camps. Hundreds of thousands of 'traitors' are languishing there. they say awful stuff goes on in there, but we can't rely on the accounts of a few 'witnesses'.
I can't even imagine what would happen to the Great Australian Empire! I mean, it is by far the most advanced part of the globe, and it has total control over the rich nation of New Zealand and most of Indonesia. Maybe if Australia had sided with America instead of Indonesia, then we would be in a different world. But it really was Ambassador Sarah Paline's fault for insulting Sir Kevin Rudd after he passed the Homosexual Marriage bill in 2009. It was the end of the alliance against Russia and China, the only thing that kept the nuclear weapons from being used.
We in Fwyaf Cymru (Greater Wales) haven't done too badly! OK London and the Clyde area went (and more surprisingly York just why did the Soviets think that our nuclear weapons were controlled from there?). However Wales was only affected by the refugees from Lancashire and the Midlands not by any direct bombing let alone Nukes. It took time and it was really dicey until the 70s but now we are gradually rebuilding and are at late 1800 levels of prosperity with the Capital at Swansea (there was some debate about Cardiff but it didn't amount to much). The major problem is that because England and Scotland are still a mess, the rest of the world assumes that the whole island is. Mind you the little news that gets out of Ireland doesn't help-religious wars are nasty!

I heard about the religious wars but just thought that they were a joke! I mean, th only difference between the two that I know of is the name of the second modern prophet. Bu I guess the heads of the two are going to tear apart the most fertile area in Europe to control religion.
