State of Survival for each of the pre war countries.
(Starting from North to South)
EU:
When the nukes started flying, the human population of Europe (Thats not shown on the map) vanished. With out support from the mainland, the human populations of Iceland and Greenland rapidly declined, however, they still live on. Meanwhile the fate of French Guiana is less clearly defined, it may have been the last bastion of the EU government, or it could have suffered the fate of Iceland and Greenland.
Seal Republic:
The capital area of the Seal Republic was wiped off the face of the earth, and is heavily contaminated with raditaion, and the ensuing changes in climate resulted in a massive decline in seal populations. However, miracously, the Seal republic still stands, although at a greatly diminshed state, with another branch of seals to the west forming a Seal Empire, exploiting the nuclear war as an oppurtunity to establish seal dominance over the world.
USA:
The USA for the lack of a better word, was completly shattered due to the war. Major population centers were wiped out of existence, and are contaminated by Nuclear radiation, including the entire North East corner of the country. However, hope still remains. The Utahan Morman Theocracy was established in Utah, where it was barely affected by the nuclear exchange, while in Lousiana, Winsconsin, and Minnesota, various warlord states emerged from the rubble to give some sort of order to their controlled parts. Meanwhile, the Hatians were able to form their own state, thoguh still constrained by the poverty that once ravaged them. The fate of the rest of the country, is less clear however.
Quebec:
Quebec wasn't badly affected by the Nuclear war, the fact that its existence was a mere footnote in Geo Polticis meant that it was only indirectly affceted by the nukes meant to hit the USA. However, this meant that Montreal, the biggest city was destroyed. Now warlord states exist all across the St. Lawrance river, being much more lively than the completly depopulation USA to the South.
Mexico:
Mexico was one of the most densly populated states on the continent. However, with them aligning against the USA, Mexico City was completly deleted from existence from both attrocities commited during the war, and the nuclear exchange that followed right after. However, in the areas that weren't badly affected by nukes, warlord states have formed.
Central America:
Central America followed much the same story as Mexico, being depopulated by attrocities, but however, not being badly affected by radiation. As a result, the warlord states that formed there tend to be much larger and advanced than other warlord states on the continent.
Greater Colombia:
Once the nukes started flying, every populated area of Greater Colombia was targetted, and infested with radiation. However, in Panama, things were a little different. Shielded by Central America and Mexico, no war was fought there, and either due to foresight from US officials to not blow up a vital piece of infrastructure that will greatly benefit the surviving humans, or due to dumb luck, the Panama Area was spared from the worst of Nuclear hellfire. As a result, the area there is a massive tapestry of different warlord states, with the diversity there unmatched by other areas due to immigration from other areas. Once again, the fate of the rest of the country is unkown.
North Amazonia:
Not much to really talk about, samething as Central America, except the warlord states formed at the far far south of the country.
North Brazil:
The hatred between the coastal Brazilian states was immense, and each country had their own nuclear aresnal, naturally, when nuclear warfare started their populated areas were wiped out of the world immiediatly, with barely anysurvivors here at all.
B.E.G.:
Not much to talk about here either, think of North Amazonia, but the warlord states were in the far far north.
Rio:
By far the strongest of the coastal Brazilians, due to a combination of population, wealth, and military might, it fought a two front war against the other Brazillians which was cut short due to nuclear warfare. Once again, little to zero survivors in this country.
Bolivia:
Think of this country like Central America, but with a distinct twist. See, the far eastern section of this country contained a lot of Lithium. This meant that this area was extremely built up and wealthy. Naturally, combine this with a lack of nuclear warfare, and we have an area, centered around Lake Titicaca, whose warlord states and large advanced, and powerful compared to the surrounding areas.
Chile:
The fate of this country is very similar to Bolivia. With them also having a nuclear aresenal, and being huge rivals with Argentina, their capital region was quickly destroyed. However, to due either the Argentinans accidentally not nuking it, or the missile defense being especially competant in the area, the very north of Chile was spared from the worst of damage, and underwent the same transformation as Eastern Bolivia, and the far south of Greater Colombia.
Paraguayan Empire:
The Paraguayan Empire was perhaps one of the best suited countries to survive the Nuclear war. With it being hyper defensive, due to widespread xenophobia and no allies, when Nuclear war started, their populace was able to hide in various bunkers, with airdefense systems shooting down various missiles. This meant that only a slight majority of their prewar population was killed in the Nuclear exchange. As such, when they came out of their bunkers, they were perhaps the strongest country in existence. However, due to the isolation and nuclear warfare only boosting their xenophobia, they simply refused to expand. This isolation was only boosted with an encounter with several mutants, who were able to overwhealm a Paraguayan outpost.
Paulo:
Same as North Brazil in terms of fate, next country.
Argentina:
Their rivalry with Chile resulted their capital area also getting nuked severly. However, there was no Lithium triangle for them, so thier fate is a lot less clear.
Uruguay:
Once again, despite not being Brazilian, their fate is very to that of North Brazil. This time however, they do have a small surviving population, which may or may not have established warlord states.
Patagonia:
The region, also being a footnote like Quebec, was only minorly nuked, but with no substantial population, the existence of warlord states in the region is up for debate.
UK:
Their islands next to the South American mainland did not survive at all. However, the Falklands are a completly different story. With no nukes dropped over there, it was the least effected by Nuclear warfare, add on the fact that the British Monarchy escaped there, but not Parliament, which stayed on the main islands (Which we know is dead now), a unique government started to form. What resulted in this was an absolute monarchy ruling over the Falklands, who is entirely focused on their islands, and have develoepd a xenophobia similar to that of Paraguay.
