Celtic Alliance (1983: Doomsday)

Celtic Alliance:

Pre-Doomsday: the Celtic Alliance includes the former Republic of Ireland as well as the western remnants of the former United Kingdom & Northern Ireland including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

DD - The immediate effects of Doomsday was the complete destruction of the majority of the major centres of population of the former British mainland especially the heavily populated areas of southern England and central Scotland with an additional missile attack on the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland (the only target on the island).

Post-Doomsday: the government of the Irish Republic declared immediate martial law and initiated emergency procedures for the anticipated thermo nuclear attack. This direct attack on the Republic never happened as the Soviet Union saw no threat coming from the Irish state, which had on occasion been a critic of NATO. Nevertheless, with the attack on Belfast and the UK government having been perceived to have been wiped out, the Republic and Northern Ireland Counties agreed to combine their efforts to restore order and acted to assist refugees and the masses of injured in the greater Belfast area. Within several days it became clear that radiation clouds would be the greatest threat to Irelands survival, and for te next few weeks artic winds drove the radiation across western Europe eastwards saving many lives in Ireland.

It was also clear by the 1st week that all communication with the main centres of the UK and the rest of the EEC had been lost
