Population: 1.7 million
Description of the land: Down below, the swamps have been turned into rice paddies, fishing holes, a couple enterprising gator farms, and a single city, Starton, home of one of the only functional spaceports on Earth. There are also a few orbital arcologies and some other miscellaneous satelites orbiting the world. These orbitals include Sky City, which holds almost 10,000 people and the hydroponics to support them all, as well as being coated with solar panels to send electricity back to Earth and holding many important artists and politicians.

Spoiler: The New Order (click to show/hide)

Name nation: The New Order of North America
Governemental system: Extremely Authoritative Theocracy
Location and size: Southeast Canada and New England, about the size of France
Population: ~8 million
Description of the land: Cold, Rocky, Mountainous Ore Rich area, dotted with areas of heightened population density among the relative wilderness.
History: The New Order was formed by the survivors of the war in the northern North America. The people moved out of the irradiated central US and into parts of Canada. There, the shellshocked and supersticious populace formed into The New Order, a nation formed to keep its citizens safe from whatever disaster might come its way. The fanaticism in evidence is such that a religion was formed in a similar fashion to the Roman theology, with a priesthood dedicated to reading signs and omens and keeping threats away. Life expectancy is unusualy low because of periodic cullings to eliminate any body snatchers or other supposed unknown evils, as well as to eliminate weak genes from the gene pool, strengthening the rest of the nation. Life is highly regulated to keep the people safe. When The New Order of North America was formed, it salvaged as many nuclear warheads  as it could, and began to produce more, justifying that people would be safer if it had them as leverage. It also has a fair space program centered around the Exodus, the fleeing of the New Order to a new planet, where enemies could not find them. The state religion is also the governing body, with a medieval admission system in place. The leader of The New Order is known as the High Revealer. The government has totalitarian control, but all regular citizens are equal. The cullings are justified by the claim that those who are culled are changelings and imposters.

Name nation: the Second Mongolian Empire
Governmental system: Khannite
Location and size: A medium-sized country that lies within the steppes of Mongolia
Population: 1,742,937
Description of the land and a bit of history: The steppes of Mongolia were unforgiving before the winter and blasts, but the massive climatic shift changed the steppes into an area more akin to the midwestern United States, but due to the long period of unforgiving climate, there are few trees, requiring them to have to import.  Because of the climate change, China attacked the area, causing the mongolian people to fight back.  They barely drove China out by rapidly increasing military technology, and utilzing what is refered to as "Khan's revenge," which only Mongolians are immune to.  There is a continual resentment towards the Chinese because of the invasion, one that could boil over soon.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

The Khan of Mongolia looked upon the Chinese.  Their dozen new dynasties would never work with each other, so now was the time to strike.  The Khan sent his generals a message, which contained the orders, attack the northern dynasties.  Capture the cities if you can do so quickly, but use Khan's Revenge to eliminate 50% of the population first.  If they do not give up, destroy the city.  If that city is the capital, do not destroy it.  Capture it and hold it instead, for the glory of Mongolia.  As always, execute traitors of both sides, after getting all the information from them you can.

The Khan then sent messages to 75% of the manufacturing sector, requesting them to build modern aircraft and modern weaponry for use by the army in their fight against the Chinese dynasties.

The Khan then sent a message to the propaganda offices, asking them to increase recruitment as long as it does not slow down the other industries by too much.

[sammyo12]

Dear Great Khan of Second Mongolian Empire:

My goverment wish to draw up a trade and research agreement for our two nations, For the terms of the trade aspects I have proposed to sell your nation wood, drugs and hardware at lower costs or we could try to establish a free trade approch. For the research aspects it's in my nations intrests to help research new weaponary and cybernetics, we would be happy if our two nations can build some research stations as joint projects on netural ground. If your prepared to accept or amend our offer  may you reply soon.

As a show of good faith from my people I have happliy sent some research data detailing into our latest advances in our Ai project and complete mapping of the human genome.

Sincerely,
Elected Monarch of Eiretic

Have our army begin preparations to invade Iceland and Isle of Man.
Focus on rebuilding the last parts of Londain and begin research project iusing robotics into researching nanobots for use in construction.

The President also sends a letter to the Sky Lords.

"To Whom it May Concern in the Parliament/Congress of the Sky Lords,

As neighbors on the same continent with some of the same needs, it might be prudent to engage in some joint research on more efficient water desalinization, and better power cells to mitigate the need for fossil fuels in our ships, planes, and spacecraft. If you are interested we will send delegates to work out the specifics of the arrangement."

[Remuthra]

"They're already here. We do our best, but we only buy time, and the timekeeper is the enemy, the clock faces watching us as we sleep. We must hurry the Exodus, before they can overtake us."Ramp up the space program. We shall work on building a new rocket, known as the Cerberus Thruster, which uses a nuclear reaction to produce energy, then blast that energy out of a set of three sub-thrusters.

[GreatWyrmGold]

To the 80-15-5 Republic:

We are not sure how we could be considered "neighbors," as we are on opposite sides of the continent, though not opposite ends. Nevertheless, we quite agree that joint research would benefit the both of us, and would be willing to provide the talent if you provide the laboratories and equipment. And, of course, if both of us would benefit equally from the research. As your suggested fields of research are (unsurprisingly) ones in which you gain much more than we, we suggest we work in ones of interest to us as well. Theoretical physics sound good?

It was election time in Alaska. The Communist and Libertarian parties were once again campaigning and lobbying their presidential candidate. Harry Denver was the Communist party candidate. Very intelligent philosopher and well known social commenter turned politician. Well loved by the people. The libertarian's candidate was Matthew Creek, a well known industrialist. Runs the Creek mining company, a major extractor of titanium. The polls were close, but in the end Matthew Creek took home victory. In his victory speech he declared that " No Alaskan shall suffer foreign threats in their life." And " All Alaskans shall have a job by the end of my term." Bold promises, but this was an industry man. He knew about jobs. He then called a meeting in the Anchorage bunker. All the generals, air chiefs, admirals, other military personnel and advisors, and others were there. There, Matt laid out the basis of a long term plan for Alaska, entitled " Plan 261" The opening phases were immediately put into action a little bit later...
Alaska's research kicks into gear, putting it's effort into theoretical heavy armoured vehicles and transport planes. Important industries in the country are given large grants to boost productivity. The navy is sent out on extensive training excercises, and the Alaskan border to the other small nations in the region is reinforced with many more troops.

[TopHat]

President Raimonds Ozolynsh, the first president of the new republic, was voted for almost unanimously. The first day, he called a meeting.
It was not good news.
Although the farmed fish, protected by water purification filters, were mostly fine, the now radioactive chunks of ground that used to be St. Petersburg and Helsinki were causing catastrophic drops in the local fish population. the country's brightest scientists, given the best labs and equipment available, had been tasked with the unenviable job of finding a way to either de-irradiate the water, prevent the radiation from spreading, or some other way of saving the local sea-life . They had not predicted quick success.
Meanwhile, The country's remaining (ie. not piles of radioactive dust) ambassadors/diplomats were ordered to approach the remaining powers and try to find out if any were in great need of our main export - wood.
As well as this, The military were ordered to put their upgrades on the back-burner, for now. They may tantrum about not getting their shiny new toys, but we probably can't afford to spare much at the moment.
The wood industry was ordered to shift it's focus onto building pre-fabricated log cabin/houses to be set up in not-as-irradiated areas to hold refugee communities.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Send some researchers to research a joint project with the 80-15-5 Republic, focusing on theoretical physics, notably gravitational sciences. Also work on whatever "applicational physics" the 80-15-5ers are thinking of.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

To the Elected Monarch of Eiretic,

We will take the wood and hardware at the lower prices that you offered.  The research station will need to wait until our conquest of China is completed.  The research aspects are acceptable.  This message would have a greater level of detail any other time, but with the war, I do not want to stress communication.  Also, have further messages only refer to me as the Khan of Mongolia.  Ghengis Khan is the only one who is worthy of the title Great Khan.
