The UK is still fairly well off in TW2000 terms (although I'm sat right on a marauder group area!). Where are you looking at basing the game and I'll see what bits I have written up for there. |

IIRC, the average population of Europe (including Russia) is down about 50%, c.2000. Some areas, like Poland, might be down a lot more, while others, like France, would be down much less.
Sounds like the UK was hit particularly hard.

Urban and strategicaly important centres in most European countries, North America and the Soviet Union got the worst of the nuclear strikes, although China seems to have also got a battering from Soviet tactical nukes and Korea, Israel and some Middle Eastern sites are also targeted. India and Pakistan are also likely to have gone nuclear and I think its mentioned somewhere. 2300AD would also include Australia and Japan.
Latin America, Africa and some parts of Asia get off lightly, although conventional warfare, famine and disease are likely to be rampant. In Europe the best places to be are France, Switzerland and Sweden. |

As an example (V1.0) of just how much difference between areas there is, Selesia in southern Poland suffered 97% casualties while the US was something like 50%.
Countries not directly involved it the war and far from any fighting are likely to have been only lightly touched - maybe 10% losses due to famine and disease. As the warring countries are also the most populated on the whole, the global reduction might run at about 50-60% (wild guess on my part) possibly more depending on just how badly China with it's billions of people was hit.

A few references relating to all this
- Eastern European Sourcebook (IIRC) says Poland went from 36 million population to 9 million (25%) - Leg's note of only 3% left in Silesia is from Black Madonna, I think? From Wikipedia: Fertilizer Inorganic fertilizer use has also significantly supported global population growth — it has been estimated that almost half the people on the Earth are currently fed as a result of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use. ^ Erisman, Jan Willem; MA Sutton, J Galloway, Z Klimont, W Winiwarter (October 2008).
