History Characters / NineteenEightyThreeDoomsday

* CanadaEh: More played straight here than in Victoria.

* CanadaEh: Averted, as it doesn't really claim any of Canada outside it's own territory, though it has crowned the old monarchy.

* EmergencyAuthority: As the nuclear strikes wiped out nearly ''all'' of the Portuguese government, all that remained were a handful of parliamentary delegates and military officers who were on a naval demonstration when Doomsday occurred, as well as the local authorities in Madeira and the Azores.

!!Duchy of Orleans (Central France)
* TheDeterminator: Orleans was one of the few places in the French wastelands to actually ''survive.''
* RightfulKingReturns: Many ''Orleanais'' see their Duke as this, himself coming from the liberal Orleans branch of the old monarchy. This is further helped in part by all his efforts to restore order.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The existence of Orleans and its ruler has effectively revived the old royalist question, complicating earlier hopes of building a Seventh Republic.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed. But no one really expected that what had been scattered American communities would become a rising power, let alone that there was even a restored USA centered around what was once it's ''least'' populated state

* OldShame: Their actions in the immediate years after Doomsday may count.

* TheMafia: Sicilian society and politics are very much dominated by them.

* Gangsterland: This city is the center of TheMafia in the former United States and Canada post-Doomsday.

* TheFederation: One of the leading global players in the post-Doomsday landscape.

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Its constituent members don't always get along, but they still find solace in each other.

* ScavengerWorld: A large proportion of the country was formed from scattered survivor communities and by beating back warlords.

!!Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand (ANZC/Australia, New Zealand, Tuvalu, Hawaii)
* TheAlliance: It started off as a very close alliance between the current leading nations.

* LandDownUnder

!!Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics (USSR/Socialist Siberia)

* TheFederation

* TheEmpire: In name only.

!!The Celtic Alliance

* TheFederation: Evolved into this, with Ireland (and to a degree Scotland) being the dominant face of the Alliance.

* TheAlliance

* TheAlliance: Crossed with TheFederation, with the three "Statelets" having the most significant influence.
** It's shown however that Liechtenstein and the various constituent states/cantons from Austria and Switzerland have actual representation in the Confederation Government. Although the ruling Council is appointed proportionally to each Statelet.

!!Interim Government of the Portuguese Islands (Portugal)

!!Kingdom of Prussia

!!Kingdom of Monaco

!!Canadian Remainder Provinces (Canada)

* InjunCountry: The Navaho and Lakota established their own survivor-nations, which have considerable influence within the NAU.
* ManBehindTheMan: It's suspected by foreign observers that Mormon higher-ups had since formed a shadow government behind the secular authorities in Deseret. Most locals however don't mind.

!!(Formerly Provisional) United States of America

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed. But no one really expected that what had been scattered American communities would become a rising power, let alone that there was even a restored USA ''at all.''

* PatrioticFervor: Their desire to rebuild America. They're also one of the main benefactors behind the "[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic American Spring]]."

!!Municipal States of the Pacific

!!Victoria (British Columbia)
* CanadaEh: Averted.

* Gangsterland
* TheMafia: This city is the center of the Mafia in the former United States and Canada post-Doomsday.

!! Republic of Lincoln

!! Realm of New Britain (New Britain)
* {{Cult}}: A few sprung up in the intervening years. The most significant ones however are Albionism and the Cult of the Once and Future King, both of which revere in some form or another Myth/KingArthur, the Royal Family and Britain itself.
* CultureChopSuey: By the present, the New British have increasingly taken in a fair deal of Afrikaner/Boer influence (with Afrikaans being widely spoken) along with a general African veneer.
* GoingNative: Though the New British still uphold their identity, within only 30 years since Doomsday there are already signs of this trope happening to them.
* TheRemnant: A good chunk of its population came from the UK, including what's left of the Royal Family.
* VestigialEmpire: It still holds itself as a direct continuation of pre-Doomsday Britain as well as UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire.

* InsistentTerminology: It is ''not'' the Union of ''Soviet'' Socialist Republics.
* NamesTheSame: It's still officially called by the USSR/CCCP acronym.

* NamesTheSame: Shares the same name as its counterpart in the restored US mentioned above.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To the United Kingdom, though not everyone takes it all that well.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To New York City, Toronto and Buffalo.

* SpiritualSuccessor: They also like to see themselves as the successor to both the British Commonwealth and to a degree the USA.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To a degree, the Taiwanese see themselves as both a legitimate Chinese body and for a time, the PROC's successor.

* IllBoy: Due to the Duchy's proximity to former Paris, many people still suffer from radiation sickness.

* UsefulNotes/ThoseWhoveComeAcrossTheSeas: Considerably more so as a result of refugees (from Asia and the former United States in particular) arriving ''en masse''. It is very certainly likely in the future that more refugees from Post-Doomsday US and other devastated places will end up migrating to Australia and New Zealand.

* {{Cult}}: A few sprung up in the intervening years. The most significant ones however are Albionism and the Cult of the Once and Future King, both of which revere in some form or another KingArthur, the Royal Family and Britain itself.

* TheFederation

* {{Scotireland}}: Increasingly. Part of its policy is to gradually replace English with the Gaelic languages as the official ''lingua franca.''
* SpiritualSuccessor: To the United Kingdom. Though not everyone takes it all that well.

* TheDeterminator

* TheRemnant

* TheAlliance: A somewhat loose one.
* {{Expy}}: It's essentially a post-apocalyptic take on the European Union.

* ManBehindTheMan: It's suspected that Mormon higher-ups had since formed a shadow government behind the secular authorities in Deseret. Most locals however don't mind.

* {{Eagleland}}: They rival the Republic of Superior in terms of emphasizing just how American they are.

* VestigialEmpire: Played with. The "new" Americans claim all of the old Continental US, though the government initially held only on a handful of states, including those made out of outlying survivor communities. But with its growing clout and (relatively) peaceful expansion, they may not be "Vestigial" for too long. Not to mention the fact the US is never going to become a world power ever again after Doomsday.

* DirtyCommunists: Negative portrayals of the country tend to fall here. [[NeverLiveItDown The Soviet connection to Doomsday]] does not help ''at all.''
