Doomsday
Botswana was hit by two nukes only one of which was intentional.A russian ICBM struck the then capital Gaborone due to the countrys ties with the UK and growing economy with the intent of removing botswana as a threat to russian intrests in affica.The blast wiped out the city and the botswanan government with the exeption of vice president Peter Mmusi who was visting the northern provinces.The second ICBM was an american misile intended for an unknown country,It struck the Kalahari Desert the intense heat killing all of the animals neerby and turning some of the desert into the glass lake of botswana.

Aftermath
In the aftermath of doomsday the southern provinces were in chaos and the northern provinces were in a state of shock.The vice president ordered the military to shut out the southern provinces and restore order to the north.By late 1985 the northern provinces were secure and the south was comnpletely cut off.The military imposed martial law and rationing was instated to deal with the complete loss of imports.Electricity was cut off to all but the most vital of purposes and botswana cut itself of from the world.

Rebuilding
Despite the chaos in the south botswana was able to recover from the war far more quickly than its neighbors and by 1990 martial law had been lifted and rationing was relaxed.Mmusi ordered the military and the populace to begin rebuilding the infastructure that had once only existed in the south.New power plants were built to run on anything that burned and transport infastructure was rebuilt.With power restored and farming now set up Mmusi relaxed the rationing even furthur and allowed botswanan people to have electricity for the first time in nearly 10 years.

The Elections
In 1994 Mmusi anounced that he would be steping down as president and that botswana would return to being the parlimentary republic it had been before the war.To that end he dispatched the botswanan military to the south to recover the constitiution of the government.When they returned in 1995 they brought with them the constitution and news of other nations in south affrica.
