Honestly I expected Qusay to just execute his madman of a brother after recalling him from the ambassador post.
I am surprised that Uday didn't receive a bullet immediately after Saddam's last breath.

There's also starvation and ongoing clashes between refugees that will swamp potential safezones over precious resources.I really think 75-80% of the worlds population would be dead in 5-10 years. While nuclear winter may not kill that many; Disease unchecked by modern medicine will. Once modern medicine runs out, diseases including ones thought to have disappeared will ravage the surviving world population. Many of the poorer nations could loose more than 50 percent of their population from the disease outbreaks.
I'd probably just have the state be a revived Far Eastern Republic, especially as the whole thing very much encompasses more than just Yakutia.Regarding Yakutia, it should be kept in mind that the province doesn’t actually border China:
As you can see, there‘s lots of territory south of the province, which is mostly populated by ethnic Russians. In fact, this population is much bigger than that of Yakutia.
On that note, the surviving populations, being largely rural, would probably have been predisposed to social conservatism.Thirty years after the US lost more than half of its population and most of its major cities, and the country is slowly starting to become a developed economy again, one of the main issues during the presidential campaign is gay marriage of all things?

More or less, the interface would be 1990s internet similar to Geocites.Cool timeline! So I am guessing TTL 2023 internet is basically OTL 1990s internet? So this world is set back technologically for about 30-40 years.
Give it a decade and India and Brazil would probably start improving upon the computers and mobile phones as semiconductors become viable again.
It‘s a bit weird that a post-apocalyptic US sees the rise of the same political figures as OTL. I mean, Hillary Clinton and Newt Gingrich? Where are the rogue militia leaders that decided to enter politics? The ambitious governors with delusions of grandeur? The generals who decide to run for office, be it out of ambition or because they‘re seen as compromise candidates (like Eisenhower back in the day)?
And not only are the politicians the same, but the issues people care about are as well? Thirty years after the US lost more than half of its population and most of its major cities, and the country is slowly starting to become a developed economy again, one of the main issues during the presidential campaign is gay marriage of all things?
The social order of the US (and Western Europe) collapsed utterly after 1983. I would expect society under these kinds of conditions of harsh scarcity to fragment along various lines - including racial ones. After the war, there would probably be autonomous settlements springing up all over the country, many of which might be exclusively white or black, while others are ruled by various religious groups. It‘s gonna be challenging enough for the federal government to bring all these local power structures back into the fold, that I kinda doubt that anyone would care about LGBT stuff.

Bill Clinton became a casualty of the war. He was unable to escape from Little Rock on time.Anyway, what did happen to Bill Clinton?
Man this takes me back to those days...More or less, the interface would be 1990s internet similar to Geocites.

I assume a major religious revival would occur. I imagine United States would look a lot closer to say South Africa than moderm America in terms of LGBT rights. Even if it is legal on federal or state level, de facto being open LGBT will be a death sentence.On that note, the surviving populations, being largely rural, would probably have been predisposed to social conservatism.
