Iceland
Generally speaking, Iceland made it through the war better than most countries. The country’s small population and remote location shielded it from the worst destruction. Icelandic agriculture suffered a severe but momentary disruption due to fertilizers running out, but since then agriculture has been able to meet the population’s needs, though local shortages do occur every now and then. Fishing is Iceland’s lifeline and its fishing vessels contribute the most to the peoples’ daily bread. Iceland’s waters are abundant with fish, and the country’s economic situation appears to be secure in the long run.
Nuclear targets: Keflavik (100kt) Naval Air Station Keflavik. The Keflavik air base was Iceland’s largest and only military facility. The precision nuclear strike completely destroyed the base and adjacent airport, with the surviving Americans evacuating from Iceland soon afterwards. The effects of the mild nuclear fallout over Reykjavik will only be noticeable once someone is crazy enough to have babies in this ruined world.
