The [[Alternative History:POD|Point of Divergence]] of ''1983: Doomsday'' is September 19th, 1983, on which a seemingly unimportant decision to send an ambitious Soviet colonel to a training seminar, taking the place of an indisposed colleague, has global implications.
   
This decision leads to a different outcome of a well-known, though often underestimated, event that took place on September 26, 1983.

This decision leads to a different outcome of a well-known, though often underestimated, event that took place in the darkness of the early morning of September 26, 1983.
   
 
In our timeline, Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the watch officer on duty that day 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 in an attempt to "cut off the head," and they would have been forced to launch their nuclear weapons in the false belief that it was a counterstrike.

In our timeline, since the events of that night have become widely known, the moment has often been considered the closest that the USSR and USA ever came to a nuclear war. Colonel Petrov has been honored as one of the few true "world saviors," and several investigations have proven the great seriousness of this highly dangerous event that may have lead to apocalyptic consequences.
   
This timeline postulates the results after Colonel Petrov was sent to another installation before September 26th, 1983. The officer now on duty on September 26th considers the alert to be 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. By the time the first alerted missile is proven to be a false alarm, it is too late. Thousands of nuclear warheads subsequently detonate over targets worldwide. Surprisingly, the People's Republic of China was attacked by Soviet nuclear missiles as well, and part of their arsenal is launched in response at the USSR.

This timeline explores the results after Colonel Petrov was sent to another installation before September 26, 1983. The officer now on duty on September 26th considered the alert to be accurate and immediately contacted his superiors. Within minutes, the leaders ordered a massive retaliatory strike against the West. The Americans naturally reacted by launching a strike of their own, this one all too real. By the time the first alerted missile was proven to be a false alarm, it was too late. Thousands of nuclear warheads soon detonated over targets worldwide. In a preemptive attack, the Soviet Union also launched missiles against the {{DD|People's Republic of China}}, which responded as best it could with a counterattack against the USSR.
   
The results of this total nuclear exchange are close to the forecasts of almost complete worldwide destruction and the "nuclear holocaust" as predicted by many scientists of this time. This results in as many as a billion people killed initially, and another billion in the subsequent environmental disaster that followed shortly thereafter.

After an incredibly horrifying first few years post-Doomsday, a few regions, territories, and countries stabilize and master basic problems such as food and medical supplies. As time passes and the recovery continues, new (sometimes surprising) alliances are formed. A new, fragile world order emerges from the ashes. 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 light-years away from any Utopian imaginations. Famine, disease, and lack of resources provoke conflicts and wars in large parts of the world, thus devastating all the carefully achieved recovery.

After suffering some years of absolute horrors following Doomsday, a handful of regions, territories, and countries managed to stabilize and overcome the basic problems of food, clean water, and medical supplies. As time passed and the recovery continued, new (sometimes surprising) alliances formed. A new, fragile world order emerged from the ashes. Initial hopes of some survivors for a united mankind (or at least a permanent end to warfare and destruction) quickly proved false. Indeed, the world is still very far from fulfilling any utopian vision. Famine, disease, and lack of resources continue to spark conflicts in many parts of the world, threatening to wipe out the decades of slow recovery.
   
As some surviving and newly formed nations (particularly a unified {{1983DD|Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand}} and a {{1983DD|South American Confederation}}) prove able to master the problems and even intervene internationally, mankind's extinction finally seems to have been avoided.

Now, {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-1983}} years after the devastating "Doomsday" event brought mankind to the edge of total extinction, a few bright moments have spread the hope for a more peaceful future for mankind, such as the foundation of the new "{{1983DD|League of Nations}}" on September 26th, 2008. The world order is dominated by a set of regional blocs - above all a unified {{1983DD|Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand}} and {{1983DD|South American Confederation}} - which have proved able to master the challenges of the era and intervene internationally. Mankind's total extinction, at least, seems to have been avoided.

'''September 9, 2023 - Death of Mangosuthu Buthelezi, leader of KwaZulu 35 years - [[File:KwaZulu flag 1977.svg|38px]] - ULUNDI, {{DD|KwaZulu}} -''' The Kraal confirmed the death at the age of 95 of Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the longtime political leader of the KwaZulu kingdom. Buthelezi led the Zulu nation for decades both before and after the fall of apartheid. He is considered the architect of the kingdom's independence and one of the people most responsible for bringing about the modern South Africa. For much of Buthelezi's career, he ruled as a dictator; on the other hand, he was praised around southern Africa for permitting KwaZulu to transition to a democratic government. Ten years ago he stepped down from power entirely, holding on only to his ceremonial posts as chief of a tribe and advisor to the king. Rebel and pawn, dictator and democrat - Buthelezi nonetheless is revered in KwaZulu. On news of his death, radio stations throughout the kingdom played "Mangosuthu," a quiet 1983 tribute song by the most famous Zulu singing group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The same group is expected to perform at the former prime minister's state funeral next week. The king has declared the intervening time to be a period of national mourning.
'''June 15, 2014: Victory for the Greens! '''[[File:Flag of Colombia.svg|30px]] BOGOTÁ, Colombia - The second round of presidential elections in the Republic of Colombia have come to an end, and, after the voting process, the results have been made public. The clear winner of the electoral contest is the new President-elect, Sergio Fajardo Valderrama, who has been elected with a resounding 62% of votes - leaving his main opponent, Óscar Iván Zuluaga, behind with only 36%. Fajardo has promised a quick and efficient response to several problems for Colombia, running on a platform completely opposed to corruption, and putting education, improved healthcare and inter-American cooperation first in his long list of priorities. Fajardo and his vice presidential formula, Clara López Obregón, have managed the first victory for the Colombian left in recent history.

'''September 9th, 2023 - 6.9 Earthquake rocks Morocco, thousands dead or missing - [[File:Flag of Morocco.svg|38px]] MARRAKECH, {{1983DD|Kingdom of Morocco}}''' - Rescuers dug through rubble for survivors in collapsed houses in remote mountain villages of Morocco on Saturday, in the wake of the country's deadliest earthquake for more than six decades, which killed more than 1,000 people and ruined several towns including Amizmiz. The quake that struck in Morocco's High Atlas mountains late on Friday night damaged historic buildings in Marrakech - the nearest city to the epicentre - while most of the fatalities were reported in mountainous areas to the south. Given the divided country had already ravaged by wars in recent years has led to the dispatch of aid workers from the surrounding areas to minimize loss of life and insecurity.
'''May 25, 2014: First Round of Elections Inconclusive''' [[File:Flag of Colombia.svg|30px]] BOGOTÁ, Colombia - The first round of presidential elections has occurred today, and no candidate has achieved an outright majority of 50%+1 of the suffrage. The closest to achieve this is Green candidate Sergio Fajardo Valderrama (42%), followed by Óscar Iván Zuluaga (28%), Clara López Obregón (13%), Marta Lucía Ramírez (8%), votes in blank (6%) and Horacio Serpa Uribe (3%). The elections showed the rightist government of incumbent president Álvaro Uribe Vélez, who oversaw the expansion of Colombian power in East Panamá and the Isle of Coiba, be less popular than the leftist forces looking for more peaceful integration, as had been proven by the victory of leftist forces in legislative elections in March.

'''September 8th, 2023 - {{1983DD|Republic of Lincoln}} applies to East American Alliance - [[File:Flag_of_Lincoln_State.svg|38px]] LINCOLN, REPUBLIC OF LINCOLN''' - League of Nations correspondents in the city of Lincoln have reported of recent news that Lincoln's President Whistler has sent and received delegations regarding joining the East American Alliance. This comes as a staunch surprise to politicos watching the strides the long-neutral nation has undertaken in the years following its split from the other [[United States (1983: Doomsday)|surviving state governments of the central United States]]. It is unclear what the timeline or outcome of these talks shall be, although some speculate its timing coincides with widespread reactions to the Republic of Superior's annexation of {{1983DD|International Falls}} and the Torrington-based United States' annexation of the previously occupied {{1983DD|Republic of Jefferson}}.
'''April 2, 2014: 8.2 Earthquake hits northern Chile''' [[File:Flag of Chile.svg|30px|border]] A mighty 8.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of northern Chile late Tuesday, triggering small landslides, cutting power and generating a tsunami that spawned waves of up to 2.11 metres and hits the coasts of Iquique, Pisagua and Arica.

'''September 8th, 2023 - South American Confederation weighs lifting ban on North American agricultural imports [[File:DD1983 SAC Flag.svg|38px]] - MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY:'''The Confederate Constitutional Assembly of the South American Confederation convened on Friday to weigh the possibility of lifting the "Lima Agreement", which froze the import of all agricultural products from North America and West Panama due to the fear of nuclear contamination of these products. The Venezuelan, Chilean, Brazilian and Argentinians all voted in favor of lifting the ban, with the Venezuelan representative bringing in radiographic studies on the near-zero risks posed, while Brazilian delegates remarked on the Mexican lack of agricultural ban for this region. Representative Camilo Eehevarria of Ecuador voted to oppose in conjunction with the Parguayan, Peruvian and Bolivian delegation, remarking [in Spanish] "while many of the other representatives here stand to gain financially from flooding our nations' ports with tainted meat, the risks posed to our children are incalculable." Ultimately, the session ended in a dead lock, with the Assembly voting to re-convene on the matter the following month, as it invites the presenting assemblymen and women to speak again on the matter.

Since 2017, a socialist-led coalition has been in charge of the country, in a coalition with Christian Democrats, Pacifists and the ecologist party. The socialist party faced a downfall, and in the 2023 elections, it was replaced by the conservative and right-wing New Democracy, which led a right-wing coalition goverment with the Christian Democrats and 5 Nationalist MP's (members of the parliament) who split from the Nationalist party (Hellenism Movement). The new coalition still supports Greece's participation in the [[Atlantic Defense Community (1983: Doomsday)|Atlantic Defence Front]] but maintains a more conservative and patriotic stance on social and national issues.
'''March 9, 2014: Legislative Elections in Colombia''' [[File:Flag of Colombia.svg|30px]] BOGOTÁ, Colombia - Legislative elections today have ended, spelling a resounding defeat for the incumbent rightist ''Podemos'' governance. The Green Party and its closely affiliated Democratic Alternative Pole have gotten around 40% of the seats in Congress, while the Liberals and Conservatives, the traditional parties, have scooped another 23% and 21%, respectively.  Podemos got a paltry 14% of the vote, while the Unión Patriótica, the MIRA Movement and other movements did not get enough votes for representation. These elections will lead to the occupation of 75% of the Colombian parliament, while 5% are designated to minority parties and 20% to representatives from the Left.

While the big goal for Kazakh expansion on South Kazakhstan, Shymkent, is still controlled by warlords, the Kazakh Khanate has now expanded to Arys, some 76 km from the former border, without counting the ''de facto'' Bukharan holdout in Shardara, officially Kazakh.

This seems to be a move in order to reach and annex Arys, an important pre-Doomsday railway hub. Meanwhile, Bukharan troops flying the Kazakh and Bukharan flags have stormed and taken over the lake-town of Shardara, on the border with Bukhara, for the Kazakh Khanate.

The soldiers faced heavy resistance as the militia adopted a do-or-die attitude, hoping to bleed the UIP dry and force them to halt or turn back and launched a counterattack early on. This caused a heavy number of causalities on the UIP side, with the hilly regions perfect for ambushes against the soldiers. Yet the UIP continued its advance, inflicting a greater number of casualties than it took at almost every point and successfully fought back the counterattack.

The UIP is currently using air support effectively to bomb out enemy positions while artillery, which managed to catch up with the soldiers, has begun to fire at enemy lines - helping to provide cover for the soldiers. Although the battle for the capital has been the bloodiest assault in the Operation, the UIP troops show no signs of letting down the assault, with victory close. Rumours also indicate a large number of the Zozamite cabinet has been killed by the artillery bombardment - making the militia forces disunited and unable to co-ordinate attacks with each other. This makes it clear the UIP will eventually gain total control over the city.

'''May 24th, 2013: Operation Dissolution endgame begins''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, UIP - UIP soldiers invade the last breakaway of the region, coming prepared. Over 70,000 soldiers were amassed for the last phase of the attack, to ensure that superiority in the breakaway is achieved and it is once more brought under the control of the UIP. A foothold in the nation has already been achieved and this will allow for the expansion of operations within Zozam. However, UIP troops are on high alert for counter-attacks and they expect the defenders to have bolstered troop numbers. They are not expecting an easy fight but are willing to fight long and hard to ensure Zozam falls and the region once more is under the central government's control.

Aircraft have also been readied in case they are needed once more.

'''May 20th, 2013: UIP forces successfully take out two breakaways''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, UIP - After launching the invasion of Tripura and Manipur simultaneously on the 14th, the UIP has announced that it has successfully captured both states. Starting with a diversionary attack in Manipur and a two-front attack in Tripura, UIP troops did excellently well after being divided into two attack forces. In Manipur, troops were lured south before the UIP launched a two-pronged attack on the 16th, while allowed them to capture the majority of Manipur by dusk. For the next three days, the troops fought remaining militia forces before finally gaining complete control of the state. Meanwhile, in Tripura, UIP troops attacked the nation with the majority of their soldiers from the north while helicopters drooped off a large number of soldiers in the south - behind enemy lines. Progress was good and by the 19th almost all of Tripura was under the control of the UIP. The last breakaway, Zozam, remains undeterred and the UIP is expected to prepare heavily for the final phase of the Operation. Sources have indicated the UIP is calling up more soldiers to fight.

'''May 13th, 2013: Surprise counter-attack causes heavy looses but UIP troops continue undeterred''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, UIP - After a heavy counterattack by Dimasan forces, the UIP has finally been able to claim victory in the breakaway after defeating the counter-attack and securing the state. What was initially thought to be an easy campaign as UIP forces moved into villages lacking soldiers to defend them soon turned out to be the biggest blunder of the UIP side since the Operation began. UIP forces make the mistake of underestimating their enemy as they were ambushed in the jungles of the state toward the border with Manipur. The UIP forces were taken aback as a significantly larger force attacked them. After four days of intensive fighting and the use of air support - which helped secure countless positions for the UIP forces - victory was finally declared this morning. Most of the ambushing troops have been killed while many have been thought to have melted away into other breakaways. What can be said for certain is that the need to avenge their fallen comrades has taken hold in the armed forces and many now believe that the campaign in Manipur might now be significantly shorter as a result.

This would expand the border the country shares with the Don Republic, as well as assure that any and all future land travel between the Don and the Ukrainian survival states would have to go through the RC. Political analysts have expressed concern, as the area in question is claimed by Crimea, which will not help the RC in gaining political clout with the URC and the BSA.

This comes after a period of heavy fighting for the city, in which UIP forces took heavy losses. With the capture of the capital, most of Nagaland now is in UIP hands. A few villages are still free of UIP control but the focus is expected to be shifted to Dimasaland and Manipur. Sources state that Dimasaland in all probability will be attacked first to allow the UIP a stable base of operations before continuing into what is expected to be the toughest phase of the operation yet.

This comes after talks between the Communist government of Gansu and the PRC, in which the PRC stated it would be willing to help out a fellow Communist nation in exchange for a greater say in the way Gansu was run. With the deteriorating conditions within the borders of Gansu, and an increase in the scale of protests due to the possibility of Gansu-PRC trade deals, the military could not successfully counter the protests - which has mainly turned violent.

The main candidate for new expansion has been reported to be Aralia and the Karagandy province of Kazakhstan, both full of natural resources and either sympathetic to the Siberian government or not populated, making this the perfect area for further development by the country. ANZC and SAC political analysts have reacted with apprehension to the proclamation, as it would "raise tensions in Central Asia considerably".

They stated that this move would open up the country to the world and make it easier for Jiangsu's supplies to reach them. The PRC leadership went on to state that they would begin this action in either late May or early June. LoN political analysts have stated that this move by the PRC is in response to what the Siberian's call the "Pacification of Southern Manchuria", as it raised fears in the other Chinese remnant states.
 
 
'''April 24th, 2013: More breakaways under the control of UIP forces''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, Union Interim Parliament - The UIP has announced their successful control over the former breakaways of Assam, Dimasaland and Achikland. This has led to an increase in the territory under the control of UIP forces and has given their troops a large morale boost. The next stages of the Operation are expected to be tougher, however. To ensure that the Operation continues smoothly, a greater number of troops have been mobilised for the following offensives, which are expected to be against mobilised and determined states, sources have revealed.

The Bukhori and Kazakh troops which have been on standby for long are now probably soon to act, both to expand Khiva and Kazakhstan's territories and to establish influence over the notoriously left-leaning Khanate of Kokand!

It was stated that the area was ready for it, as it had been three years since its admittance into the Socialist Union. This decision was made shortly after the pacification of Southern Manchuria, as the reason for a military occupied Territory dissipated then.

The Police lost control of the situation in the capital, allowing riots to spread to other major cities of Gansu. The army, therefore, has been drafted in to try to calm the situation down, before it cannot be controlled by the government. Talks between the PRC and Gansu have already beginning to discuss the handling of the current situation within Handy by the government, with the PRC making it clear they are willing to intervene on the government's side.

'''April 3rd, 2013: Operation Dissolution begins''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, Union Interim Parliament - UIP armed forces have begun the invasion of other north-eastern breakaways following the announcement by the SAC to cut aid. The invasion was launched almost a whole week after troops were built-up on the border of Kamtapur, Tula Nada and in Bodoland itself. It is expected that the first phase of the Operation will be completed relatively quickly.

Presidents Santos of Colombia and Lacalle of the RUAS have been the first to declare the complete withdrawal of SAC foreign aid to the Union Interim Parliament, and the demand for the restoration of the invaded nations. The large amounts of foreign aid that are constantly given to the UIP by the SAC, now cut, will hopefully lower the offensive capacities of the Indian government, deemed "imperialistic and obscenely jingoistic" by official Colombian diplomatic means.
 
 
'''April 1st, 2013: Riot police drafted in to end chaos''' [[File:Flag of Gansu-dd.png|30px|border]] TIANSHUI, Gansu - Police had to be drafted in to break up the clashes between pro-Communist and pro-Capitalist supporters. Chaos erupted when both sides clashed trying to prove theirs is the more worthy side. In the past few days, the number of pro-Capitalist supporters swelled and protesting has already been ongoing for the last three days. The Police has warned shop owners to close their shops following the riots in a bid to protect them from the on going chaos. However, there is no indication that the rioting will come to an end anytime soon.

'''March 28th, 2013: Election results cause strong feelings''' [[File:Flag of Gansu-dd.png|30px|border]] TIANSHUI, Gansu - After more than a day of counting votes due to the record turnout of 98%, it has been announced that the Communist Party has won the election by a very slim margin of 51% of the total votes. The Federal-Liberal Alliance gathered 46% of the votes and is now out of Parliament after two successive terms. However, almost immediately after the announcement of the results, pro-capitalist and pro-FLA citizens began protests as they felt the Communist party had manipulated the elections to come to power. It is unsure how this will be dealt with but it is already clear that these protests will grow heavier. Many also predict the protesters to clash with pro-Communist supporters over the coming days.
 
 
'''March 28th, 2013: Bodoland now under UIP control''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, Union Interim Parliament - Reports are being received that the invasion of Bodoland is complete and the former nation is now under UIP control. The capital of the nation, Kokrajhar, was captured by noon and UIP losses are expected to be minimal. Following this, the UIP government soon received demands from the SAC to withdraw, which they have refused to do so. The UIP expects aid to the nation from the SAC now to be cut.
 
 
However, Prime Minister Joshi believes that the nation is now ready to support itself. In a statement, he said "the aid received by the UIP from the SAC was as humiliating as the grains being imported from America in the 60s. It is now time that India [UIP] once again proves we are ready to feed and support ourselves". This was met with widespread support and analysts expect the UIP to invade the other breakaways in the North-East soon.

The Chief of Staff, Air Marshal Norman Anil Kumar Browne, personally authorised the invasion.
 
 
If reports are to be believed, they have already reached the crash-site, within eight hours of the commencing of the invasion. The invasion is, evidently, going well.
 
 
'''March 26th, 2013: Fire-fight between Local Militia and Rescue team''' [[File:UIP Flag.png|30px|border]] BOMBAY, Union Interim Parliament - Local militiamen opened fire on the UIP rescue team in Bodoland, thinking the UIP were involved in some sort of an attack against Bodolander forces. When the rescue team radioed for help, helicopters were immediately dispatched to help rescue the rescue team. Their worst fears were proven when they found many of their comrades dead.
 
 
According to sources, all survivors have been rescued and are being currently treated while the crash site has received significant re-inforcements. All those who have died will be buried with full military honours. There is also evident anger within the UIP Military Command on the incident and an attack on Bodoland may be imminent.

This comes after better harvests and a slight economic growth. The move is slightly popular with citizens, and it is hoped it will serve as a political tool in the upcoming elections in four days. Analysts expect it to be a close election between the Federal-Liberal Alliance and the Communist Party. The Republican Party is hoping for a surge in popularity but it is evident the election will be between the Communists and the FLA. The Communist Party has made it clear they are looking to expand Gansu's links with the PRC while the FLA would like to keep Gansu on a path of growth - independent from PRC influence.

After first bombarding the South of the city heavily, approximately 4,000 troops attacked in a full frontal assault, while the rest were held in reserve. After breaking through the lightly armed rebel ranks, they fought their way to the Acting Governor's palace, freeing him. However, fighting has continued, heavily, and the leader of the DPI- and the rebellion- has become known; one Japhet Gizenga, a 25 year old soldier from Dungu, who fought first with the Dungu Authority in their war with Isiro, then, secretly, against Isiro once more, while still fighting for them.

The Governor of Dungu has been killed, while his acting successor has been trapped in a small section of the city protected by still loyal troops. It has been estimated that almost three quarters of Dungan troops stationed there have gone into open revolt along with the rebels, though the government alleges that the number is closer to 5-10%. Several clashes have already occurred, and the city is now mostly under rebel control. The leaders of the revolution appear to be the terrorist militant group DPI, who were also responsible for the assassination of Emperor Serge Mbia yesterday. The government, however, has assembled nearly 14,000 troops outside the city of Dungu, and is preparing to launch an assault. Colonel Trevor Kabila (unrelated to the Kabilas of Kivu), who commands the 14,000 man force, stated that the rebellion was simply a local revolt not backed by popular opinion, and that they would flee in the face of a show of force. No rebel could be reached for comment.

As, he then attempted to flee back into the palace, a sniper trapped them against the walls of the palace. Six men, heavily armed, attacked his vehicle. After a firefight, four of the six militants were killed, along with seven guards. One of the remaining militants detonated another explosive incendiary device, killing the remaining five guards and himself.

The Labour Party won 25 seats making them the largest party. The Conservatives were reduced to 22 seats having lost nearly half of their representation in Parliament. The Liberals increased their number of seats to 22 and the Veterans won two extra seats taking their total to ten. Michael Danson, former Conservative MP whose decision to leave the party led to the vote of confidence being called was re-elected as an Independent MP. The fact that no party has an overall majority means that there will now be several days of discussion on forming a coalition.
 
 
'''February 15th, 2013: Philippine Troops Surround "100 Armed Bruneians" in Sabah, Brunei Official Disputes Story:''' [[File:Flag of the Philippines.svg|30px|border]] [[File:Flag of Brunei.svg|30px|border]] KOTA KINABALU, Sabah Autonomous Region, Philippines - Philippine security forces have surrounded about 100 armed men believed to be from a breakaway faction in Brunei, a Philippine National Police and government official said today. But, a Bruneian official said that they were unarmed men who had been promised land by the Sultan of Brunei. This dispute threatened to stir tension between the two Southeast Asian countries, whose ties have been periodically frayed by border disputes, migration problems, and accusations of one country harboring the other's rebel groups.
 
 
"We are dealing with 100 armed foreigners from the Sabah Liberation Army of Brunei," a high-ranking Philippine official who asked not to be named said. "The army and police have cordoned off the area where the men are waiting." He also, said that the men are from an armed faction dissatisfied with Brunei's agreement to hand over Sabah to the Philippines. "We know that these people are from the neighbor nation Brunei. Some, of them have already been living in Sabah for five years or longer, and they move freely between the borders."
 
 
A senior Bruneian military official dismissed the Philippine account on the group, claiming that the men had been promised land by the Sultan of Brunei. "Since Brunei and the Philippines brokered the deal in the Treaty of Zambuanga, the Sabah Liberation Army of Brunei decided to stir up trouble in the area," the official said, referring to a rebel faction operating within the area.
 
 
Security in Sabah has been problematic for the Philippines, with tens of thousands of Bruneians, Malaysians, and Indonesians believed to have immigrated illegally into the region for the past two decades. In Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei's foreign affairs ministry is currently trying to get in touch with Brunei's ambassador to the Philippines regarding the incident, but, has refused to comment until they have the complete facts.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDDRMC) ,said, that rescue efforts were ongoing to reach the five trapped survivors, but more landslides in the area had unfortunately forced the rescue workers to stop their search until the land had finally settled. A representative of the NDDRMC, iterated that they had not given up the search.

MP Featured article This is a featured alternate history!

1983: Doomsday is a featured timeline, which means it has been identified as one of the best alternate histories produced by the alternate history community. If you see a way this alternate history can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, please say so on this page's talkpage.

Welcome to the Portal Page for the 1983: Doomsday ATL.

1983 Doomsday's logo

This timeline explores world history after Doomsday - September 26th, 1983.

A worldwide nuclear exchange caused by a minor incident obliterates much of human civilization, leaving only a few survivors. This ATL covers everything from the direct aftermath up to the present worldwide situation.

This is a "live" timeline, which means that its story continues to unfold NOW, in real-time. See the Live Content section for the latest news and updates.

This is also a collaborative timeline, produced by a team of contributors. If you want to join us in developing this world, we warmly welcome your additions.

Before making major edits or additions to this ATL, please read the Editorial Guidelines and discuss your ideas on the 1983: Doomsday talk page.

The World of 1983: Doomsday as of 2023. Suggest changes at the World Map Changelog.

The Point of Divergence of 1983: Doomsday is September 19th, 1983, on which a seemingly unimportant decision to send an ambitious Soviet colonel to a training seminar, taking the place of an indisposed colleague, has global implications.

This decision leads to a different outcome of a well-known, though often underestimated, event that took place in the darkness of the early morning of September 26, 1983.

In our timeline, Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the watch officer on duty that day 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 in an attempt to "cut off the head," and they would have been forced to launch their nuclear weapons in the false belief that it was a counterstrike.

In our timeline, since the events of that night have become widely known, the moment has often been considered the closest that the USSR and USA ever came to a nuclear war. Colonel Petrov has been honored as one of the few true "world saviors," and several investigations have proven the great seriousness of this highly dangerous event that may have lead to apocalyptic consequences.

This timeline explores the results after Colonel Petrov was sent to another installation before September 26, 1983. The officer now on duty on September 26th considered the alert to be accurate and immediately contacted his superiors. Within minutes, the leaders ordered a massive retaliatory strike against the West. The Americans naturally reacted by launching a strike of their own, this one all too real. By the time the first alerted missile was proven to be a false alarm, it was too late. Thousands of nuclear warheads soon detonated over targets worldwide. In a preemptive attack, the Soviet Union also launched missiles against the People's Republic of China, which responded as best it could with a counterattack against the USSR.

The results of this total nuclear exchange came close to the predicted worldwide destruction and "nuclear holocaust." Close to a billion people were killed initially, and another billion died in the environmental disaster that followed shortly thereafter.

With the world largely devastated, and most of the Northern and parts of the Southern Hemisphere in ruins, the estimated 800 million survivors in these areas desperately tried to keep together what is left of human society. They would face challenges that were seemingly impossible.

After suffering some years of absolute horrors following Doomsday, a handful of regions, territories, and countries managed to stabilize and overcome the basic problems of food, clean water, and medical supplies. As time passed and the recovery continued, new (sometimes surprising) alliances formed. A new, fragile world order emerged from the ashes. Initial hopes of some survivors for a united mankind (or at least a permanent end to warfare and destruction) quickly proved false. Indeed, the world is still very far from fulfilling any utopian vision. Famine, disease, and lack of resources continue to spark conflicts in many parts of the world, threatening to wipe out the decades of slow recovery.

Now, 41 years after the devastating "Doomsday" event brought mankind to the edge of total extinction, a few bright moments have spread the hope for a more peaceful future for mankind, such as the foundation of the new "League of Nations" on September 26th, 2008. The world order is dominated by a set of regional blocs - above all a unified Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand and South American Confederation - which have proved able to master the challenges of the era and intervene internationally. Mankind's total extinction, at least, seems to have been avoided.

Nonetheless, new dangers to this fragile world have emerged all around the globe, threatening much of what has been achieved within the last 41 years...

September 25–26, 2023 - The world observes the 40th anniversary of the Doomsday Event - Blue globe icon
Forty years on from the outbreak of the Third World War, people around the planet paused to reflect on what it means and how the world has changed. The anniversary was commemorated in countless different ways in different nations and communities. The page on the Doomsday 40th Anniversary gathers reports and dispatches from around the world to give a rich picture of this momentous event.

September 9, 2023 - Death of Mangosuthu Buthelezi, leader of KwaZulu 35 years - KwaZulu flag 1977 - ULUNDI, KwaZulu - The Kraal confirmed the death at the age of 95 of Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the longtime political leader of the KwaZulu kingdom. Buthelezi led the Zulu nation for decades both before and after the fall of apartheid. He is considered the architect of the kingdom's independence and one of the people most responsible for bringing about the modern South Africa. For much of Buthelezi's career, he ruled as a dictator; on the other hand, he was praised around southern Africa for permitting KwaZulu to transition to a democratic government. Ten years ago he stepped down from power entirely, holding on only to his ceremonial posts as chief of a tribe and advisor to the king. Rebel and pawn, dictator and democrat - Buthelezi nonetheless is revered in KwaZulu. On news of his death, radio stations throughout the kingdom played "Mangosuthu," a quiet 1983 tribute song by the most famous Zulu singing group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The same group is expected to perform at the former prime minister's state funeral next week. The king has declared the intervening time to be a period of national mourning.

September 9th, 2023 - 6.9 Earthquake rocks Morocco, thousands dead or missing - Flag of Morocco MARRAKECH, Kingdom of Morocco - Rescuers dug through rubble for survivors in collapsed houses in remote mountain villages of Morocco on Saturday, in the wake of the country's deadliest earthquake for more than six decades, which killed more than 1,000 people and ruined several towns including Amizmiz. The quake that struck in Morocco's High Atlas mountains late on Friday night damaged historic buildings in Marrakech - the nearest city to the epicentre - while most of the fatalities were reported in mountainous areas to the south. Given the divided country had already ravaged by wars in recent years has led to the dispatch of aid workers from the surrounding areas to minimize loss of life and insecurity.

September 8th, 2023 - Republic of Lincoln applies to East American Alliance - Flag of Lincoln State LINCOLN, REPUBLIC OF LINCOLN - League of Nations correspondents in the city of Lincoln have reported of recent news that Lincoln's President Whistler has sent and received delegations regarding joining the East American Alliance. This comes as a staunch surprise to politicos watching the strides the long-neutral nation has undertaken in the years following its split from the other surviving state governments of the central United States. It is unclear what the timeline or outcome of these talks shall be, although some speculate its timing coincides with widespread reactions to the Republic of Superior's annexation of International Falls and the Torrington-based United States' annexation of the previously occupied Republic of Jefferson.

September 8th, 2023 - South American Confederation weighs lifting ban on North American agricultural imports DD1983 SAC Flag - MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY:The Confederate Constitutional Assembly of the South American Confederation convened on Friday to weigh the possibility of lifting the "Lima Agreement", which froze the import of all agricultural products from North America and West Panama due to the fear of nuclear contamination of these products. The Venezuelan, Chilean, Brazilian and Argentinians all voted in favor of lifting the ban, with the Venezuelan representative bringing in radiographic studies on the near-zero risks posed, while Brazilian delegates remarked on the Mexican lack of agricultural ban for this region. Representative Camilo Eehevarria of Ecuador voted to oppose in conjunction with the Parguayan, Peruvian and Bolivian delegation, remarking [in Spanish] "while many of the other representatives here stand to gain financially from flooding our nations' ports with tainted meat, the risks posed to our children are incalculable." Ultimately, the session ended in a dead lock, with the Assembly voting to re-convene on the matter the following month, as it invites the presenting assemblymen and women to speak again on the matter.

September 8th, 2023 - The Greek parliamentary elections of 2023 - DD1983 Greece Civil CHALCIS, Hellenic Federation: The Greek parliamentary elections of 2023 occurred in September 8th, and were the 2nd national elections held following the end of the nationalist-led era in the country. Since 2017, a socialist-led coalition has been in charge of the country, in a coalition with Christian Democrats, Pacifists and the ecologist party. The socialist party faced a downfall, and in the 2023 elections, it was replaced by the conservative and right-wing New Democracy, which led a right-wing coalition goverment with the Christian Democrats and 5 Nationalist MP's (members of the parliament) who split from the Nationalist party (Hellenism Movement). The new coalition still supports Greece's participation in the Atlantic Defence Front but maintains a more conservative and patriotic stance on social and national issues.
