After doomsday
The attacks were patchy and only in a few major places, with some places badly hit an others totally missed by the Soviet/Cuban attack. The nuclear winter lasted between October 1962 and March 1963. A nuclear summer then lasted between April 1963 and September 1964. A cholera outbreak killed 16,000 in nations shanty towns between December 1st 1963 and January 21st 1965. Things began to improve after 1965.

First contact
It was made with the Federation of Chesapeake, Republic of Québec, United Republic of Tennessee, United Republic of Mississippi and Republic of Spokane in the late 1960's. Traders and explores from the Colorado River Republic arrived in 1989.

Fishing vessels from Ireland and Portugal met some Carolinan fishing boats just west of the Azores during 1998, leading to the first contact between the continents since Doomsday. Ambasidors were swapped between the nations in 1999. Iceland sent an envoy to Carolina in 2002.

Present day


In February 2009 amd 2011, long range radio signals from several parts of the former UK, Lower Saxony and Ireland were picked up by LW/SW radios in Savannah and Charleston.

Political relations are steadily improving with Federation of Chesapeake,  Colorado River Republic,  United Republic of Tennessee and Republic of Spokane. Political relations are particularly good with Jamaica and the Republic of Québec.

Military
The growing volunteer army is about 10,000 strong. The military uses mostly old material salvaged from various arms storge locations that sort-of survived the war.

Transport
Horses are still popular in the nation, despite the resent, but short lived, outbreak of equine ethmoid hematoma.
