Introduction
The Point of Divergence of the 1983: Doomsday-Timeline is September 19th, 1983 on which a seemingly unimportant decision to send an ambitious Colonel of the USSR to a training seminar, taking the place of an ill-plagued colleague, has global implications.

This decision leaves to a different outcome of a well-known though often underestimated event that took place on September 26, 1983.

In our timeline, on that day, Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the watch officer on duty at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow, monitoring for a US missile attack on the Soviet Union.

Suddenly, the computer-based warning systems reported several US nuclear missiles approaching Soviet territory. In our timeline, Colonel Petrov believed the information to be false and did not alert the Kremlin to the data he was receiving. Given Cold War tensions at the time, such information would likely have convinced the Soviets that the US had launched a first strike attempting to "cut off the head" and launched their nuclear weapons, in the belief it was a "counter-strike", not a first-strike.

Consequently, since in our timeline the world now knows about this event, it is now often considered to have been the moment closest to a nuclear war between the USSR and the USA in the Cold War. Colonel Petrov has been honored as one of the few true "world saviors" and several documentaries prove the seriousness of this event.

This Timeline postulates the results after Colonel Petrov being sent to another installation before September 26th, 1983. The officer now on duty on September 26th considers the alert as being accurate and immediately contacts his superiors. Within minutes, the leaders decide to launch the whole Soviet nuclear arsenal. Logically, the Americans react by launching as well. When the first alerted missile is proved to be a false alarm, it is too late. Thousands of nuclear warheads consequently detonate at targets worldwide. As The People's Republic of China was surprisingly attacked by Soviet missiles as well, part of their arsenal is launched too.

The results of this total nuclear exchange are close to the forecasts of almost complete worldwide destruction and "nuclear holocaust" as predicted by many scientists of this time, resulting in as much as two billion people killed initially, possibly another two billion in the subsequent environmental disaster.

The world largely devastated, most of the northern and parts of the southern hemisphere in ruins, the estimated 800 million survivors desperately try to keep together what is left of human society. They are facing challenges that are seemingly impossible.

After an incredibly horrifying first few years after Doomsday, at least a few regions, territories and countries stabilize and master basic problems such as food and medical supply. As time passes and the recovery continues, new - sometimes surprising- alliances are formed and a new, fragile world order emerges. Initial hopes of some survivors for a united mankind or at least warfare and destruction being ended forever quickly prove false. Indeed, the world is lightyears away from any utopian imaginations. Famine, diseases and lack of resources provoke conflicts and wars in large parts of the world thus often devastating all carefully achieved recovery.

But as some surviving and newly founded nations- particularly a unified Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand and a South American Confederation- prove able to master the problems and even intervene internationally, mankind's extinction seems to finally have been avoided.

Now, more than 25 years after "Doomsday" brought mankind to the edge of total extinction, the foundation of the new "League of Nations" on September 26th, 2008- has shown a glimmer of hope for a possibly more peaceful future for mankind...

But nonetheless, new dangers are emerging all around the globe, threatening most of what has been achieved within the last 25 years...

"There are large areas of nothing but rubble, and large areas where people's bodies are laying in the streets. Words cannot describe what it is like in the capital."

The Blue Bombers lost 34-17 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Saskatoon; Assiniboia's protests to the league office came as a result of a record number of penalties it considered to be the result of 'biased' officiating, as well as issues involving players who were unable to travel to Saskatchewan that weekend for work-related reasons.

January 13, 2010: King Christian of Prussia demands North Germany submit to Prussian rule: BERLIN, Prussia - King Christian of Prussia today announced plans to begin reclaiming the wild lands of western Germany. In his speech he also demanded that the government of North Germany surrender the lands it claims. "When the good people of Prussia made me their king, I promised to return Prussia to the glory it once held. The pretender government of North Germany holds lands and people that are a rightful part of Prussia. I plan to hold to my promises and hope the North German officials see reason and peacefully allow the people of North Germany to rejoin their brothers in Prussia." Public opinion in Prussia is mixed, while the majority of Prussian citizens agree with the move to reclaim the lands of central Germany from the bandits and warlords, they also question the need to threaten a peaceful neighbor. "First he mishandles Pomerania, then botches relations with the Nordic Union, now he's threatening fellow Germans. He may be our King, but even the King can overstep his bounds." Says one local, outlining some of the lower points of Christian's rule. Chancellor Klaus Wowereit stated "The reclaiming of central Germany has been on the King's agenda for years, and the Reichstag fully support and endorse this action. We were just as surprised as you were however with the King's statements regarding North Germany. We do not endorse hostile action against a legitimate German government."

It is the hope, indeed the expectation, of the people of Dinetah and West Texas that one day, soon, this land will teem once again with life, as a living memorial to those who have left this earth, and a testament to the unbeatable, preserving spirit of humanity that has risen, triumphantly, from the brink of extinction."

"We fought for years to keep the Mexicans out of our business, to keep Texas free and independent, and to keep open the possibility of the renewal of the United States," said MacDonald, who served three terms as a Republican Senator from Big Spring from 1989 to 2000 before resigning due to health issues. "We don't care if there are 100 million refugees in Mexico. The Americans don't run that country.

The Conaway administration had no immediate comment; Congressman Harry Reeder, who ran against Conaway in the 2009 Presidential race, said "MacDonald means well, those CRUSA guys mean well, but they're misguided about a lot of things. I disagree with the President on a number of things, but I know he would not sell us down the river. Everything he's doing I believe is with the best intentions for the greatest good of our country."

January 5, 2009, 11PM GMT (6PM ET): Debate over budget, extending Presidential term top agenda as Vermont Legislature opens: MONTPELIER, Vermont - The Vermont Legislature opened its session on Tuesday with two pressing pieces of business on its agenda: lengthening the Presidential term from two to four years, and balancing the national budget. With the office of the President having taken on increased importance in regional and world affairs, Democratic and Republican leaders have agreed with the administration of President Jim Douglas that an increase of the Presidential term to four years is essential. However, the term increase - once considered a lock - is less certain, as party leaders squabble over the budget. Democrats say they stayed quiet on the budget to show support for Douglas while he met leaders of other North American states in 2009. But, in 2010, Democratic leaders want Douglas to work with them on balancing the budget. "President Douglas has developed a well-deserved reputation for diplomacy and negotiations with other nations. He needs to negotiate with his own people so he, and our country, can lead, without being in debt", said Senate President Pro Tempore Peter Shumlin (D-Windham). Other issues on the legislature's agenda include moving the Presidential primary to August; potentially extending legislative terms to four years; and Vermont's relations with neighboring countries in regards to the ongoing Saguenay conflict.
