Talk:World Country Profiles (1983: Doomsday)

US Pacific territories
What's the situation in Hawaii? The timeline suggested that it was still a funcitoning society that kept in contact with Australia; if it was hit on Doomsday, probably the islands other than O'ahu would be damaged but OK. Is Hawaii now a part of this Commonwealth? What about the other US territories: Guam and eastern Samoa? And when I look at Wikipedia, the US Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands still existed in September 1986 and included Micronesia (divided into 4 districts), the Northern Marianas, the Marshall Islands, and Palau. Were they attacked? Did the provisional US government remain in contact with them?


 * interesting point. Somehow this will be integrated asap.

The general situation as I suggest it: Guam would be destroyed due to military importance, if not by USSR, then by China avoiding any base close to Taiwan. American Samoa and Marshal Islands might easily survive due to relative near to Australia, NZ and some help might reach them in time. Micronesia, Northern Marianas and Palau might survive somehow (not more than a few villages i think) but not as a "state" due to famine and not of high interest of any surviving nation to be claimed.

Hawaii... would be somehow associated if not integrated in either the Commonwealth or the MSP on the U.S. West Coast. But ANZ commonwealth integration due to a better future potential would be probable. Hawaii would be strategically virtually important, especially militarily.


 * I saw that this is an "open timeline"-- how open? Could I put something together on Hawaii? Benkarnell 18:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok. This is not really "my" timeline as I didnt start it in the first place. Of course you can fill in if you want. the degree of open? :) well. i will revise/harmonize and adjust things in detail to keep everything on context and logical. But that's it...

Ah, and no aliens, timetravel and too unrealistic technical things of course :P just keep that in mind. Will put some details on my ideas concerning this somewhere here. -- Xi&#39;Reney 18:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Nordic Union
Hello,

I have updated the page for the Nordic Union. It has not the name in Norwegian and Icelandic, and I have as well added some politicians. The head of the union is the head of state of each country (President Vigdís Finnbogadóttir of Iceland and King Harald V of Norway). In case of war, the government and royal family of Norway would have been evacuated before Oslo would have been hit by a nuclear weapon, and I think Harald V would have followed Olav as king, as he in OTL suffered a great trauma during the outbreak of the first Gulf War January 17, 1991. He collapsed during the day and died in the evening. His son claimed that Olav relived the events of the Second World War, which he himself had experienced (the Nazi occupation of Norway), and really believed that the transmitted messages from the new war foreboded World War III.

A symbol is also difficult, but an idea could be this:



You can change whatever you like, but the page now has both Norwegian and Icelandic politicians.
