Forum:What is the fate of the rest of the world?

I can't figure out if the rest of the world was harmed or not. If not why has the US not received help or transportation out of the country

Checkout the timeline and associated map of the great war. seeing as china and the u.s. launched nukes at each other both are pretty screwed. im sure russia would have gotten involved in that too. all of Europe already tore itself apart during the resource wars. my guess based on that and the available info is that south america and africa are probably the only ones not as devastated, however radiation probably traveled there due to weather patterns. so i dont think anyone could help even if they wanted to.

The whole planet got screwed. You have to consider that the nuclear war was just the final act of the descent to hell. All the oil in the world had pretty much been used up apart from the Enclave Oil Rig's location. There's a mention of annexed Canada's vast forests being clear cut to supply the US military, now this makes little sense if you think it was for the wood, but it does make sense when you consider that there exists processes to convert biomass into a petroleum substitute. Like the Fischer–Tropsch process, it's horribly inefficient and it was used out of desperation by both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in the latter part of WW2 when their oil reserves were being disrupted by the allies. Now if the US had to resort to something like that, you can imagine what the rest of the world was doing. There's also the fact that food riots were taking place in the US, again, imagine what the rest of the world was like. Then the nukes just blasted this whole mess into radioactive hell.
