Fair point. I guess if the population of the US was reduced by 52% by July of 2000, and Australia lost 30% of its population in the initial nuclear strikes alone, Australia's population was probably reduced by the same percentage if not more than the US by July 2000. And with a tiny initial population compared to the US, it would've been really hard to maintain an industrialised civilisation in the early part of the new millennium. Still, 40 years to drag ourselves back to being an industrial nation-state is pretty impressive, considering Australia was at war with a couple of hundred million Indonesians during most of that time. They breed 'em tough down here
