Personnaly the war goes on until 2015. with a fight between Mexico (+LSU) and USA in 2013. That occur after US refugees cross the border to Mexico. Civil war strikes both U.S. and Mexico in 2014.

Nukes start to fall in 2013 with China quickly wiped out. The Anti-shield system worked for the chinese missiles but it doesn't for the Russian ones. Several US cities are destroyed and 6 strategic locations in U.S. are hit by SS-18 Satan (20Mt). Before being destroyed China sent several missiles into space destroying the GPS system.

The nuclear exchange ends with EMPs attack worldwide at the end of 2013. Military bases are touched, survivng industries are devastated, civilian equipments are down but most military equipments survived. However, the lack of spare parts are slowly taking military equipments out. The devastation prevent most nations from rebuilding their industries.

U.S. president is killed. Milgov and Civgov are created with Utah and Texas independent. New America is also around and several native american nations made a drive for freedom, seizing their own territories (Seminoles, Cherokee, Navajo...). A third state exists (confederate sovereign states). That was taken from someone at the old RPG host.

Canada is pretty much in shape except for the nukes but Quebec is independent backed by the Franco-Belgian Union. Alaska is under control by Russian forces but disputed.

South America is in complete turmoil with Havana as well as several locations hit by nukes (Mexico, Nicaragua Venezuela...). Bolivia, Columbia, Peru are in Civil Wars. Argentina and Brazil were devastated by a short war but a Brazilian government remain in control over the Amazon Basin with its capital at Manaus. Chile is untouched and quite fine. Panama is controlled by Civgov.

Africa is simply a mess with only Kenya (allied to US) in shape along with a few countries allied to France (Senegal, southern Cameroon, Gabon, Mali and Burkina Faso). Forget about the Suez canal, it took direct hits. Kenya has a working refinery and Gabon is the main oil source for the Franco-Belgian Union.

The Middle East remain an active battlefield much as per cannon. Iran, however, is allied to Russia. Israel is the less devastated country with Iran outside of Tehran and oil regions. Half of Iraq fell to Muqtadah al-Sadr but allied troops are still fighting on its soil. It is facing full fledge civil war. Saudi Arabia is in civil war also with only Jedah and Meccah under control (the royal familly was killed). UAE and Oman are pretty much intact and they continue to produce some oil. Qatar, Bahrein and Kuwait are the rear bases to NATO along with Busher and Bender Abbas. Syria and Lebanon are devastated but still part in the war. Yemen is back to a tribe level. The Kurds are independent, backed by U.S., but in a very hard postion.

Afghanistan, India and Pakistan are a mess.

Australia is untouched except for EMP and it was capable of rebuilding a good part of its industry. it is mostly organized and it is the industrialized nation supplying US (limited supply so).

Asia is a mess with Thailand being the sole survivor. Japan was hit by nukes and devastated by natural disaters (Japanese Diaspora). Koreas are still at each other throats but they are back on the 38th parallel. China is in the hand of warlords with most major cities devastated. Tibet is organized.

Moscow and St Petersburg survived but many russian cities were nuked and the situation is very bad with limited state control but a working transsiberian works as a bloodline to Moscow's tiny surviving industry.

Sweden and Norway have signed a new Kalmar Union and they are still working to some extend. Finland, joined with Russia.

For the rest of Europe it depends. East Europe (including Ukraine) was devastated except for Hungary that remained outside of the war. EMPs devastated most of the industry, nevertheless.
Albania became the most powerful state of the Balkans with a powerful airforce made of Mig-21 and Mig-19.
Romania goes per cannon, Serbia is allied to Moscow as is Bulgaria. Croatia and Bosnia are allied to NATO and to Greece.
Turkey is under a military dictatorship with Istanbul intact. It allied with Italy and Russia during the Adriatic War. Now it's on its own.
Iberia is in turmoil and mostly insular but may be not that bad despite several cities devastated (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Lisbonne...).
Germany is baddly hit with state controlled territories in southern Germany and western Austria. Vienna and eastern Austria is in Russian hands.
The most devastated countries are UK, Netherlands and Poland. They go more or less per cannon. Scotland and wales are independent.
France and Belgium left NATO in 2013 after being hit by some nukes and signed a separate peace with Warsaw Pact 2. They formed the Franco-Belgian Union and control the dead zone as per cannon.
Ireland, Denmark and Switzerland are intact but were touched by EMPs. Ireland retain only limited industries. Denmark is fine and Switzerland is Ok.
Italy was invaded by NATO and central authority disapeared. NATO has withdrawn and several independent states exist.
Malta is ran by the Knight Hospitalers who are fighting pirates from North Africa.
