But I will respectfully disagree on the United States, I actually think this timeline could be a little too idealistic in that respect. The only reason why some people in the timeline 'rejoice' the announcment of the country, is because just one writer set it that way. But in reality if you try to wrap your head around living after the destruction, and being forced to be self reliant. I cannot imagine many people welcoming something ... that is not just dead.. but provoked to an extent the nuclear impacts to come in the first place. The only people who would use 'America' would be those who had something to gain from it, in perception power. Think in terms of the 'Roman Empire' and Holy Roman Empire. But there will be no true restoration for the United States are national support for it, in this hellish world. In the case of President Bush, Australia was one of the few safe places. Alaska was wild, and had also been attacked,and also occupied (partially) by the Russians.
