Afghanistan (1962: The Apocalypse)

Stats
Afghanistan is an obscure patchwork of warring local emirates, Islamic states and tribal entities. Tajikistan, has laid claim to some of its northern lands to.

Doomsday
Due to being a Persian, Pakistani and UK allied, Afghanistan was not spared by Doomsday. The capital city of Kabul was hit by 2 1kt, Mazar-e Sharif was hit by 1x 1kt and Kandahar was hit by 1 Soviet 2.5kt Soviet free fall bomb. 3 1kt NATO free fall bombs hit Tadjikistan, 1 hit Faknor, 1 hit the pass near Faknor and 1 was dropped Dushanbe airfield. The Afghans and Tadjiks were lucky a rather small nuclear attack compared to what places like Germany and Poland took. Without the Malik/Pasher (King) to keep control the rest of the country plunged into chaos. Amidst the confusion, the Pashtun people of south eastern Afghanistan-who had long desired their own state-convened in the city of Lashkar Gah on January 29, 1964, and declared independence. The first year of the new nation's existence was focused mostly on survival and building up a functioning state. A year later, Hazaria left the nation of Afghanistan and then the Province of Herāt followed suit 2 days later, thus leading to the nation’s utter disintegration on ethnic lines.

Agricultural output rose slightly in the east of the country due to the increased vigour, better irrigation systems and improved water distribution around the River Logar in the east of the country. During the late 1960’s

Post-Doomsday
The leadership of Pakistan’s more radical Islamic groups, soon migrated toEastern Peshtunistan and parts ofAfghanistan in 1964-65, renaming it The Islamic republic of Afghanistan. They remained in power as The Islamic republic of Afghanistan's hastening the end of Afghanistan. Under Mullah Ali Anwar’s post-Afghan rule he styled himself as a promoter of traditional Muslim and Pashtun culture (calling himself "leader of the Pashtun people"), but he became notorious in the West for his dictatorial rule and extravagant cult of personality. The extent of his son’s power over the region greatly increased during the early 1990s, and in 1999, after Hammedinherited the leadership in 1982 and became President for Life.

The rise of the Taliban
The Taliban took control of most of the nation in early 2002 after much street protesting in 1999 and the Lashkar Gah riots of 2000. Tajikistan and Uzbekistan helped defeat most of them by mid-2007. Mr Niyazov died of pneumonia on 27 October 2006, leaving no heir apparent and an unclear line of succession.

Hamid Karza
In an election on 11 February 2007, Hamid Karzai was elected president for a second termwith 89% of the vote and 95% turnout, although the election was condemned by outside observers as "noticeably unfair". He was sworn in on 14 February 2007. The Taliban members surrendered in 2009. Politics is still dominated by the conservative Islamic clergy, who Hamid Karzai dislikes.

Healthcare
After Doomsday, the Hemel Hempstead found it hard to import medicine. The shortage of medical supplies resulted in the government making the controversial decision to legalize medical khat and marijuana in 1966. Even though, this choice led to and inital small increases inkhat and marijuana smoking, opium usage and other crimes, the government believed the pros of the medical marijuana act outweigh the cons. This was revoked in 1978, because, in the long turm, it had caused a generation of drug addicts to occur. 10% of all women went permanently bald due to radiation sickness and skin and lung cancer are common near Kandahar and Kabul.

Agriculture
Agricultural output rose slightly in the east of the country due to the increased vigour, better irrigation systems and improved water distribution around the River Logar in the east of the country. During the late 1960’s
