"Very little" against the "none" most of us have done is well...
Quite a large difference,mate.
Plus, we needed a scapegoat, and who better for that role than the Fascist/Demo-fascist/Communist/whatever-govt. Indian guy?

GoobNES01: Fallout Update 14 The years between
World Weekly News December 31st, 1980
Hello, and welcome to a special edition of the WWN. In this edition, we will be summarizing the major events in nations around the world, and bring you up to speed on global trends, economically, politically, and otherwise. We will first tell you about the World at large, then the individual continents, and finally, the nations. Note that no nation is in particular order, they were just presented as was saw fit. Generally, we will try to present them continent by continent, but no guarantees. Enjoy, and remember, any comments, concerns, questions, or complaints can be PMed to our Chief Editor, Goober, or send us an E-mail at nathanl AT uvic DOT ca.
The World
Generally, this era has been one of peace. The exception has been Africa. Some clear trends have emerged, and some nations have emerged as superpowers. The 3 superpowers are the United States of Europe, the Russian Federation, and SADETO. Other very powerful nations are China, India, Malaysia, the USA and Japan. Note that SADETO is not a nation, but a collection of nations who work together, essentially being a nation. Some global trends have emerged, in this ages of money, computers, and transactions across oceans. Computer technology has rapidly spread, with several break throughs in super computer technology, and fiber optic communication technology. This allows Foreign Investors to rapidly invest into nations. Foreign Investors, being the major companies and corporations around the world, as well as those with money to invest, have become the new currency, of sorts. Nations actively try to entice Foreign Investors to their soil. Foreign Investors like stable nations, with Government policies that encourage economic growth. They don't like war, or social or political unrest. They are hard to entice, but quick to leave.
But the most interesting trends have been among the people. Clear divisions between Fascism and Socialism, Democracy and Dictatorship, and Conservatism and Liberalism have emerged in the world. Generally, the world trend has been towards more right-wing, Conservative leaders, especially in South American and European nations. But the left-wing also has their voice. Nations such as the USA are deeply polarized between the left and the right. SADETO is also fairly polarized among the hardline Fascists, and the Socialists/Communists, which is causing rifts in that organization. Generally, though, this has been an era of peace and prosperity. One can only guess if this will continue to be so. The only real competition is in the war of Space, and technology. It seems that the massive armed conflicts of the past just might be a thing of the past.
North America
North America has been very peaceful. The USA has continued to rebuild after the devastating invasion by the Comintern, and life in Quebec, Acadia, and the Inuit Confederacy has remained pretty much normal. Some potentials for conflicts include the massive Oil Deposits found in the Western Region of the Inuit Confederacy, and the continuing anti-Russian sentiment from the USA. Americans are still angry over the fact that Alaska is a part of Russia, and demand its return. But, aside from those 2 minor debates, life continues are normal.
The United States of America
For the USA, this has been a period of growth, and prosperity. They have rebuilt from the Russian invasion, and indeed are working with the Russians on several things. A joint Russian-American Space Station is in the air, and the USA is reportedly working on a Moon Base. 4 more Moon Landings have been made by Americans, all of them successful, and it seems NASA has nicely picked up the pieces since its Space Station was mysteriously brought down. Down on earth
South America
SADETO, the South American Union, has been doing tremendous in the way of economic growth. They are now a Super-power, with fully modern nations, connected together by the world's finest highways, and roads. Their economy has boomed, as Foreign Investors flock to invest in SADETO. The people no longer live in dire poverty like they used to, but in fully modern cities. The people, for the most party, are happy, healthy, and prosperous. South American is like a self-functioning unit, it has the material, population, etc. to turn it into a superpower, and, thanks to some good planning by authorities, they have done this. South America, collectively, has the biggest economy in the world. But, not all is sun and roses here. Some indigenous people have been left out of the economic wealth. Indeed, money hungry companies routinely kick the aboriginals off their lands, in order to gain access to the resources on those lands, and they are placed in puny reserves. Those policies, and discrimination from all sectors of the non-aboriginal population has led to anger among aboriginals. South America is also very polarized, between the hard line Fascist Dictators in places such as Chile and Ecuador, the Communists, or, at best, left-wing Socialists in places such as Argentina and Bolivia. Arguments between the 2 have polarized the continent, and often stalled debate and new policies being implemented by the SADETO Council. Both sides in this debate see the other as ideologically wrong, and, if this debate turns into political instability, it could mean Foreign Investors fleeing for more stable nations to invest in, which could bring down the mighty SADETO economy.
Africa
Africa has slid downhill. And fast. It has descended into a Continent of petty wars, border disputes, tyrannical leaders which use their country as their personal bank account, and much more besides. Foreign Investors have fled Africa in large numbers, for the most part. Africa is now largely a poor, desolate continent, with people in dire poverty, and living conditions deteriorating. The only exceptions are South Africa and the Ivory Coast. They are the 2 bright spots in the otherwise bleak and grim picture. The massive African Federation is, well, technically still a nation, but, in reality, South Africa cannot hold onto all of it. As we shall explain more later, the African Federation seems doomed to failure. Africa is indeed sliding into dire poverty, as wars rage among parts of this continent between various ethnic groups. Amnesty International reports of genocides, but it seems that the world just doesn't care. If things were not bad enough already in Africa, then HIV/AIDS is just making things worse. This disease causes the immune system to weaken, which means the infected person is more susceptible to diseases and infections. The cause of this disease is unknown, but it is claiming the lives of millions of Africans, and is a epidemic, which could become a pandemic. Thus far, it has not spread to other continents, but most suspect it to be present in Asia next.
Europe
Europe has flourished, for the most part, but especially the United States of Europe. As the nations rebuilt from the events of WWIII, their economies flourish. Foreign investors, who left for other parts of the world, most Africa, have returned in large numbers. Europe has been very peaceful, no wars to speak of, although unrest in Hungary and Austria could threaten the region. After the USE, which has built itself into a thoroughly modern nation, with a powerful economy, Germany is the next most powerful European nation, although their newly elected Fascist leader is sounding a lot like Hitler. If he does go through with his promised plans for a stronger Germany, and a much larger Military, some speculate that the peace in Europe might be shattered. Another key sticking point are the nations stuck between the superpowers of the USE and Russian Federation. The USE has been spreading propaganda through those countries, urging them to join, but the Russians have not been quiet either. But, overall, Europe is at peace. For now.
Asia
Asia has been relatively peaceful, but with a couple trouble spots. First, the UIS is seemingly coming closer to self imploding into several warring factions with each passing day. Old anger and rifts between the various religious sects, Sunni, Shiite, over doctrine, over Israel, and a host of other issues have been tearing the collection of Islamic nations apart. An uprisings by the Kurds, violence between Christian and other minorities, and violence between Shiites and Sunnis are the only violence acts shattering what could otherwise be complete peace in Asia. Also, the UIS has transformed itself into a highly militarized collection of nations, after some high-scale assassinations of some top-level UIS leaders. The intense paranoia that now hangs around leaders in the UIS is getting tiresome to the people. As we shall explain in more detail, the UIS is poised to be split into a variety of warring factions. One only wonders if the leader, Ahmed Ressam, can save the day.
Elsewhere in Asia, things have been more peaceful. Malaysia, Russian, Israel, Japan, China, and Papua New Guinea have all experienced economic booms. Malaysia has developed the world's best Military, with their ships and tanks and the like being the envy of the nation. Russia has also done very well for itself, but has some minor issues to take care of. Israel, with its peace with the UIS, has boomed, as trade between Europe and the Middle East has picked up. In the Australasian sector, there is a new tyrant in town. His name is Suharto, and he is the Dictator of Indonesia. He runs the country with an iron fist, and he is a threat to the region. He is building himself an army that could one day threaten the region, and his people are firmly behind him. He has laid claim to the Southern Region of Borneo that Malaysia annexed, and to all of PNG, calling those places undeniable regions of the Indonesian Motherland. He has yet to drag the region into war, but it seems that he will, and soon.
I will ANNOUNCE the POST the FINAL Update. Please refrain from critisizing this, as it is anythijng but done yet. Feel free to critisize, constructively, the final Update.
