TIMELINE AND OVERVIEW
Pre-Doomsday
1980
Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union begin to heat up as the Cold War escalates when the Soviets launch an invasion against Afghanistan. The two superpowers and their allies enter a renewed period of mutually assured destruction. In the Middle East, the First Gulf War (called the Iran-Iraqi War at the time) begins.

March-April, 1983
Pershing II missiles are moved to West Germany.
FleetEx '83, the largest fleet exercise to date in the North Pacific, takes place.

September 1, 1983
A Korean Air Lines Jet, Flight NO 007, is shot down over the Sea of Japan just west of Sakhalin Island over international waters. The USSR initially denied the fact that they had shot down the plane but admitted their role several days later. However they continued to obstruct international search and recovery efforts. There was an international outcry and extreme anti-Soviet sentiment was felt around the globe. Among those on board was Georgia Democratic Congressman Lawrence McDonald, a staunch anti-communist, leading to suspicions of an ulterior motive.

September 19, 1983 P.O.D.
Colonel Gennady Akrimov replaces Col. Stanislav Petrov as watch officer at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow, which monitors for a US missile attack on the Soviet Union. Colonel Petrov is re-assigned to a bunker near Odessa.

Sept. 26, 1983 – 03:40 GMT+3 (Moscow Time), USSR
The Serpukhov-15 bunker's computers indicate that a US missile is heading toward the Soviet Union. At first, Akrimov reasons that a computer error has occurred, since it is only one missile and it doesn't make sense that the US would launch one single missile in an attack. Questions about the reliability of the satellite detection system have been raised in the past, so he dismisses the warning as a false alarm, concluding that there was no actual missile.

Very shortly though, the computers indicate that a second missile has been launched, then a third, a fourth and and then a fifth. Akrimov, a faithful reader of "Pravda", where he had read much of the "warmongering of the American President Reagan", now feels as if the attack was real. He telephones the headquarters of the Strategic Rocket Forces and tells them that his computers show that a massive US attack is underway.

General Secretary Andropov is awakened by his staff and rushed to an evacuation helicopter standing by. On the way he is informed by the generals that they have "reliable information" that the Americans are launching a first-strike. They recommend a full retaliatory strike. Andropov, frail and stunned by the news, nods and gives the launch codes to the SRF commanders.

Four and a half minutes later, at over 300 missile bunkers, a fateful order is given ... launch. Nearly 1100 Soviet ICBMs in staggered order are launched at the United States, American bases in Europe and Great Britain, and in a plan never publicly revealed, at another fifty sites in the People's Republic of China.

Sept. 25, 1983 – USA , 19:45 GMT-5 (EST)
At NORAD launch detection satellites detect the launch from the Soviet Union. It is apparently a Soviet FIRST-strike and within minutes President Reagan is evacuated from the UN reception at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City via "Marine-1" to the Boeing E-4B Nightwatch called NEACP (National Emergency Airborne Command Post). He arrives twenty minutes later and the aircraft takes off at about 20:09. En route, the President is informed by Secretary of Defense Weinberger and the NORAD generals that the launch is confirmed and that it was total. Reagan gives the launch codes and orders a full retaliatory strike, including "city-buster" missile attacks from the American submarine fleet.

Sept. 26, 1983 – 04:11 GMT+3 (Moscow Time)
Meanwhile, as Andropov's helicopter is approaching the Kremlin's evacuation bunker forty miles outside of Moscow, he receives a chilling report. The first "projected" missile has reached its target in Murmansk....but no detonation has occurred. Quickly checking, Soviet generals discover that the first targets that were supposed to have been destroyed minutes earlier, showed NO incoming warheads and no detonation. Andropov suffers a massive stroke as he realized he has just started World War-III on a false alarm. A minute later the first Soviet missile detonates in Beijing, China, followed quickly by one at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska. Minutes after that, a second, REAL report of incoming American missiles is reported.


Sept 26, 1983 Doomsday Clock Strikes
Doomsday ‘’’The moment mankind has feared since the 1945 drops of the nuclear bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki’’’

Over a period of nearly two hours, from approximately 4:10am until 6:10am GMT + 3 (Moscow time), an estimated 3000 nuclear weapons detonate all across the Northern Hemisphere. NATO commanders are ordered to immediately launch tactical Pershing-I missiles at Soviet tank yards, and Warsaw Pact commanders respond with the launch of their Pioneer missiles.

Chinese forces, woefully caught by surprise by the Soviet attack, were only able to launch approximately 30% of their weapons at the USSR. Most Chinese missiles struck cities and military bases that have already been destroyed by American missiles and bombers.

Neither American nor Soviet citizens, nor other non-combatants, received significant advance warning of the attack. Some major cities did issue alerts and, while local mayors and fire chiefs were scrambling to initiate disaster protocols, they were either destroyed or damaged in the attack.

Electromagnetic Pulses (or EMP) from air-burst weapons destroyed some 70% of the electronics across the Northern Hemisphere. Most radios, televisions, telephones systems, and computers were rendered useless.

The initial death toll following the first hours of conflict was estimated at 1.53 billion people... from the United States and Canada, to Cuba, across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, Western and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, China, Japan, the Philippines, and three cities in Australia.

At day's end, a black pall of smoke, dust, and radioactive ash covered half the world.


Post-Doomsday
General Overview
Predictions of the results of a nuclear exchange from the late 1970s and early 1980s prove fairly accurate. In addition to the initial death toll, subsequent mortality rates due to fall-out, out-of-control fires, starvation, dehydration, and unchecked disease add another 700 million lost, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere. The predictions of a "nuclear winter," however, come up short. Only a 10°F drop is noted, and as the attack occurred going into late fall, it had no major effect on typical weather patterns. The dust cover blocked out the sun for several days, but within a week, it dissipated and cloud patterns returned to normal by mid-October. By contrast, later in the summer of 1984, predictions of a "nuclear summer" do come true, as nitrogen oxides and a reduced ozone layer raised temperatures to an average high 10-25°F over normal.

Vast areas of North America, most of Europe, much of the Soviet Union, and many parts of China are uninhabitable. Radiation levels dropped with the predicted two weeks fall-out pattern, but irradiated regions and areas where toxic chemicals have been spilled remain lethal to humans. Several nuclear reactors in the US, Europe, and the Soviet Union experience critical meltdowns and explode, releasing additional radiation into the atmosphere.

Death tolls keep rising. By March 1984, the population of the United States dropped to 28 million people, almost 1/10 the pre-Doomsday level. The story was similar in the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, with Great Britain's population reduced to numbers not seen since the Norman Conquest.

North America

Central America

Oceania

South America

Asia

Europe
Portugal
Emergency plans were enacted, but proved largely ineffective, even with quickly combined Portuguese and Spanish local security forces. All mid - or even long-term plans appeared senseless as the massive fallout spread over Continental Europe. The only remaining mainland governmental body was a small parliamentary delegation which at the time of the detonations was aboard the Portuguese frigate "Álvares Cabral" (F-331) to observe a demonstration of an amphibious landing operation. Upon incoming news of the attacks and no contact to Lisbon possible, the maneuver was canceled and an emergency session of the few surviving parliament members (headed by a Vice President of the Parliament) along with a handful of navy generals took place.

In order to maintain a functioning government, it was immediately decided to set course for the Portuguese Islands of Madeira and Azores as no hits were reported from local authorities. So the Álvares Cabral and the small accompanying convoy - namely the Submarine Albacora and a small supply ship- headed first for Funchal, Madeira then to Punta Delgada on the Azores Islands. En route, all naval and air force units that could be reached were ordered to relocate to Madeira and Azores. A few aircraft and several navy ships -mainly a second submarine- arrived later in Funchal. After consultations with the local authorities and governments, it was decided to officially relocate the capital and install a Portuguese Interim Government in Punta Delgada. The Vice President of the Parliament was named provisional head of state.

Ireland/Scotland
The Irish government implements full martial law awaiting for an attack from the Soviet Union, it never happens, though Belfast suffers a direct hit. 100,000 Northern Irish refugees head west and south to the Republic. Plans are put in motion to contain civil disorder, with conscription enacted in an emergency sitting of Parliament in Dublin. The Northern Irish counties are overcome by desperation and work with the Republic to assist the dying and injured. British army units in Northern Ireland accept the Irish President as their acting Commander In Chief till contrary information is received from the UK High Command.

Four weeks after Doomsday, contact is received via Morse code from the Isle of Lewis in western Scotland. Five UK MP's (all Scottish Nationalists) have survived and are officially, as one is a Privy Councilor, the de facto UK government. They are brought to Dublin which lays the foundations for the Celtic Alliance which was formally declared in 1986. British army units in Northern Ireland ask the UK MP's to clarify their position, Gordon Wilson, MP Privy Councilor (SNP), as de facto head of State, formally amalgamates the regiments in Northern Ireland into the Irish Armed Forces.

Soviet Union
After Doomsday, significant parts of the Soviet Union have been utterly destroyed. The number of people killed is staggeringly high, with some initial estimates in the 270 million range. Very few of the Soviet officials in Europe and Central Asia have survived the attack, leaving its small remaining population essentially in a state of anarchy. Siberia, the Russian Far East and parts of the Kazakh SSR however have survived the blunt of doomsday much better and several of its leaders along with most of it population are still alive.

Middle East
Israel, Syria, and Jordan have all been struck by nuclear missiles. Israel and Jordan manage to hold on to organized government, but Syria's one-party power structure is totally shattered, plunging the country into chaos. Egypt escapes attack, but falls into economic and political meltdown, allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to seize power and impose their Islamist vision upon the country.

Timeline and Overview | Nations and Blocs | LoN and UC | Alliances and Economic Unions

INTRODUCTION

What is This?
Hello and welcome to 1983: Doomsday, my very first nation RP. This RP is based off an online alternate history of the same name. In a nutshell, this alt. history is based around a nuclear war that took place in 1983 and starts in 2011, where most of the world's powers and organizations have already been set and the rebuilding of society can finally enter full motion.

How do I Join?
To join, instead of picking out a nation and starting from there, you will pick out a nation on the map and I will give you the wiki page for it (if there is one available). If you do not know the name of the nation you want is, just point it out and I will give the page for it. Here's something to help with nation names (May appear very small, depends on your browser). Since this timeline is completely different from our own , I would recommend skimming the wiki page and reading all of the OP to know what alliances you are in, if you're in any trade organizations, etc. Then you will make a nation ledger and post it. Here's an example.

How do I play?
After picking a nation and making your ledger, just simply post what you are going to do. You control your entire nations government, military, and industry (including private industry to an extent). However, you do not control your nations population. They form their own ideals and opinions over time and may rebel against your rule, but you can influence them with propaganda programs and other means.

Technology
Technology is divided up into five tress, Communications, Military, Science, Agriculture, and Military and Infrastructure. Every tech takes one year (2 days) to research, except for the reconstruction techs, which take 2 year (4 days) each. Each nation starts with a certain their of tech, which is shown in the the technology section of the OP.

Warfare
First thing is first nuclear warfare is completely last resort, no excuses. Contact me before using any form of nuclear or colbalt bombs so I can approve.
There are 6 types of wars: Proxy Wars, Regional Wars, Civil Wars, Invasions, Great Wars, and World Wars. Proxy Wars are any type of civil wars with foreign intervention, such as the Vietnam War or the Syrian Civil War. Regional Wars are Wars limited to a certain area, such as the Argentine Invasion of the Falkland Islands. Civil Wars are what they are. Invasions are large scale attacks on a country with an intent to annex a large portion or all of the country. The Mexican-American War is an example of this. Great Wars are large scale wars between multiple nations with a high amount of casualties. It is possible that Great Wars can evolve into World Wars.
The type of war it is determines what actions you can take. Fit example, you can conduct propaganda campaigns in all Wars, but you can only inact Toal War in Great Wars, World Wars, and incredibly large invasions (i.e. Operation Barbarossa). The war types can overlap.

Which one exactly
A cross with 13 stars
Or the actual CSA flag
there's three csa national flags so

2858
idk if arizona is considered part of "the South," but southern pride p much exists because what i guess can only be explained as a kind of southern subculture, and i don't think there's anything wrong with being proud of w/e culture you're a part of. it's not necessarily a matter of saying x region is inherently better, it's just an appreciation for it. at least that's what i'm assuming since i've never experienced "southern pride" firsthand (though, secondhand, i've seen plenty)
arizona isnt part of the deep south but the confederates claimed it as a territory if that counts

2859
First of all the stars and bars is General Lee's battle flag, not the Confederate national flag.
uh no its not

this is the stars and bars

this is the battle flag
