GDPpc: Medium
Techs: Undersea Construction, Anti-Balistics, Optical Camoflage, Optics, Exoskeleton (on hold), Genetic Engineering (developing)
Trade: Germany, Scandinavia, North Africa, Italy, Iberia, UK, Venezuela, Russia
-Russia is invaded and its remainders annexed entirely.
-Fallut shelters are built in major cities and urban centers.
-The civilian populace si fleeing, quickly, to the undersea colonies.
-The nuclear winter hits Finland the hardest, and first. Thousands freeze to death, and entire cities are blocked in with ice.
-Genetic engineering research has started to focus on radiation resistance.
SingSong Incorporated – Brown – Mr. Biscuits
Military: Small Invincible
GDPpc: Highest
Techs: Cybernetics, Cancer Cure, Artificial Intelligence (developing), Radiation Resistance
Trade: Malaysia, ANZAC
-Being the singular powerful entity on earth not at all effected by the nuclear attacks in any direct way, SingSong Corp. has begun to monopolize essentially every market on the globe. Morally corrupt lower executives begin to dabble in the growing global slave market, and small, privately owned Singaporean planations and mines are springing up around the globe, mostly on the east african coastline.
-Bhutan is offered annexation, but the lack of response leads SingSong to beleive that everyone there is too dead to pick up the phone.
-Chinese and vietnamese state assets are purchased en masse to fuel the crumbling economies in both states.
-Radiation Resistance research has begun. SingSong's long head start in this line has led to nearly immediate results, and cybernetic implants that reverse and prevent radioactive decay have been installed to the local market.
-More and more "volunteers" sign up for radiation poisoning research.
SLAVE – Light Yellow – Nick Estbosco
Military: All Consuming Draft
GDPpc: Low
Techs: Green Energy, Lunar Colony
Trade: Italy, Germany, La Plata
Embargo: Singapore
-Attempts to invade Russia fail due to extreme distance, low quality warships, and the fact that Finland beat them to the punch.
-Panama Canal taxes are repealed, but the drop in international trade means that still few people use the canal.
-Once more a nation attmepts to move millions to the moon, and fails in doing so. A few hundred citizens make it to the moon and take up residence in the colony there.
-The capital is moved to Brasilia. Attempts to construct a pony themed monument for those lost in the nuclear attack fails due to a lack of funding.
Italy – Blue – Derpy Hooves
Military: Big Specialist
GDPpc: Imploded
Techs: Intelligent Ponies (developing), Moon Colony
Trade: Egypt, UK, Finland, Iberian Nation, Germany, Scandinavia, SLAVE
-Italy relocates its governance to the moon. The ambitious project of relocating five eighths of the population there as well is far beyond their reach, and only a few hundred people are moved to the moon.
La Plata – Baby Blue – Brandon Perez
Military: Big Specialist Nuclear
GDPpc: Medium
Techs: Nationwide Nuclear Plants, Stealth Jets, Hydroponics (developing), Moon Colony (constructing)
Trade: Egypt, Singapore, Mexico, SLAVE, Israel, Ghana, Taiwan, Ethiopia, South Korea, UAE
-Iberian lands in South America are invaded, and quickly overrun.
-The idea of building domes over cities for radiation defence is scrapped in favor of smaller nuclear bunkers.
-Irradiated citizens are searched for super powers, but none are found.
-Stealth jets research is complete, and a moon colony is now under construction.
Sagarmatha – Rhododendron – Bruiseiseki
Military: Average Militia
GDPpc: Lowest
Techs: Radiation Cleanup (developing)
-The nation is split into two nations: Sagarmatha in the south, and Uyghuristan in the north.
-Research priorities are set upon radiation cleanup.
